I wish I had come to John years ago; his photography is outstanding! I'm so amazed with my new set of photographs.

No Session Fee – Just Pay for the Images that move you

There is absolutely no session fee for this exclusive offer. Your 60-minute, on-location shoot is my gift, my local offering to match my international editorial craft. You simply invest in the portraits that resonate with you. A single, fully retouched digital image is £75, or choose five for £350—your choice, your image, your story.

Actor Headshots That Get You Noticed

Every actor knows the truth: your portrait is your calling card. It’s the image that will be studied, judged, and compared before you ever step into the room.

My portraits are designed to do more than get you noticed—they tell your story, they hold a gaze, they leave a mark. This is why actors, performers, and creatives across the UK have trusted me to shape the first impression that matters most.

That’s why actors at every level work with me.

I’ve photographed some of the world’s most iconic figures—from Bowie, Beyonce, to Prince, Pink, Michael Jackson, and the Spice Girls and many more. Now, I’m bringing that level of craft home to Ipswich, applying years of cinematic and editorial experience to help actors tell, not just show, their story.. My portraits are crafted to stop the scroll, spark interest, and create genuine opportunities.

This isn’t just a headshot photo shoot. This is your career image, built with precision, personality, and purpose.

I. Book the date.

First, we get to know each other on our free 20-minute call. We discuss your needs and plan your shoot, and what you'll need on the day. We'll also take payment for your session shoot on this call, or arrange for payment before your shoot.

II. Take photos.

Next, we spend 1 hour on your shoot day at your home or a location near you. You'll have the option of two to three changes of clothing. You can also bring your make-up artist if you wish.

III. Deliver your photos.

You can see a selection of the images straight after your shoot, but I prefer to send all my clients a digital portfolio so they can choose their favourites at their own pace.  Once you have selected your favourites, I will retouch them, and once your payment has been made, your photos will be ready to download via your digital portfolio.  

I can also be on hand to help with the selection if you so wish.
