Elevate Your Image: Specialising in Corporate and Actor Headshots
Serving Businesses, Individuals and Agencies in Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby, Northampton and Beyond.
I believe a great business headshot should be relaxed, feel natural and bring out the personality of each client. Especially when looking to do some personal branding photography.
Your headshot is often the first impression you make on someone!
This is a professional service that is designed to provide a quality headshot in a relaxed environment at a competitive price.
HEADSHOTS FOR INDIVIDUALS
First impressions are kind of a big deal. From professional headshots to creative portraits, i’ll guide you through every step of the way from the get-go.
When: I tend to shoot after work hours (5pm onwards) in the week or any times over the weekend.
Location: At my home studio in Thrapston, Kettering.
How long: A session could be 30-90 mins. If you know the type of image you want, we can go straight to that setup. If you want to try a bunch of looks, scenes & lighting we could be up to 2hrs.
What you get: Download link to full resolution edited image(s) in colour and B&W.
Price: Various packages available starting from £50 - £300
HEADSHOTS FOR TEAMS
Corporate headshots don’t have to be boring but they often need to be consistent. With expert lighting and with over 10 years of experience, I can create unified headshots and executive portraits for your company.
When: Dependant on the size of the team & location, we can choose a time that best suits everyone.
Location: At your location is generally best.
How long: Setup on site is usually 45 mins and the first person is 15 mins to dial in the look and lights. Then we can roll through everyone allocating around 5-10 mins per person. Each team member can choose their shot there and then.
What you get: Download link to full resolution edited image(s) in colour and B&W.
Price: £POA (minimum 2 people)
HEADSHOTS FOR ACTORS / MODELS
Headshots are slightly different to portfolio updates. These are predominantly studio based with minimal styling & generally a headshot is chest up. Unlike the corporate headshots, these will have a little more flair - More dramatic lighting, angles, facial expressions and potentially slightly more casually dressed etc.
When: Week day evenings & weekends.
Location: At my home studio in Thrapston, Kettering.
How long: Allow for 90 mins and expect to take around 300 shots with various scenes, lighting and outfit changes.
What you get: Download link to full resolution edited images in colour and B&W.
Price: £150 - £399
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
My usual turnaround times are 3-5 days from when you’ve made your selections for individual headshot sessions or 5-14 days for groups sessions where I’ve photographed numerous people.
Professional retouching takes time and isn’t something I like to rush - If you need something urgently just let me know, I can almost always turn things around for you the same day or within 24 hours. Just let me know and I’ll do everything I can to meet your deadline.

HEADSHOT TIPS
Always take along at least four or five different outfits to try on. I was told a simple dark coloured t-shirt works best, but I don’t think there are any set rules. Just take some options and see what works best on the shoot.
Go into the shoot with some ideas in mind, you can even take some reference images along with you.
If you’re not confident in doing your own makeup, hire someone to do your hair and makeup for you on the day.
Take hairspray and translucent powder!
Avoid greasy lotions & don’t cover up spots or blemishes - If you want them removed in the edit, its easier to do without you trying to hide them.

Yes. If you are a company or school and would like multiple photos taken then I offer group discounts.

Think about where you intend to use the images. If you are in a corporate work environment then wear what you would typically wear to meetings or events.

I'm a wizard in photoshop. Don't worry! Talk to me ahead of the session if you've any specific requirements.
+ Should I wear makeup to my headshot session?
Yes and no. If you normally wear makeup then sure. But less is more. I advise you to not apply any powdery foundation or oily lotions that will make your skin shiny. I tend to say focus on your eyes and lips, leaving the rest natura & clean.
