Professional headshot & Portrait photography for actors, businesses and professionals across Stockport, Manchester and Cheshire.
Your headshot is often your first audition. Before a casting director watches your showreel or invites you into the room, they're looking at your photograph. A strong actor headshot should look natural, authentic and help you stand out for the right reasons.
Whether you're updating your Spotlight profile, applying for drama school, building your acting portfolio or simply refreshing an older image, we'll create headshots that feel like you—without awkward posing or overly heavy retouching.
Headshot photography with flexible scheduling perfect for busy individuals who need sessions outside of regular 9–5 hours.

Yes! I know that a 9-to-5 schedule doesn’t work for everyone, so I offer evening and weekend sessions. I’m available for shoots on weekends and weekdays up until 9 PM, so whether you need a headshot after work or on your day off, we can find a time that works for you. Just let me know your availability, and we’ll get you booked in!
It really depends on what you’re looking for! My basic headshot session starts at £50, which includes 3-5 fully edited images. If you’d like extra outfit changes, different backgrounds, or more retouched photos, I have packages that go up to £100/£150 I’m happy to walk you through the options and help you find the best fit!
Great question! Simple and classic is always best. Solid colours—especially neutral or jewel tones like navy, burgundy, or dark green—look great on camera. Try to avoid busy patterns, big logos, or anything too bright. If you have a couple of outfits you love, bring them along! I can help you decide what works best once you’re here.
Not long at all! If you just need a quick, classic headshot, we’ll be done in 15–30 minutes. If you want multiple looks or extra variety, plan for about 45 minutes to an hour. For full personal branding sessions, we may go up to 1.5–2 hours And if it’s a corporate shoot, I usually schedule 5–15 minutes per person to keep things moving. Either way, I make sure it’s a fun, easy experience
Absolutely! I do light, natural retouching on all final images—think skin smoothing, teeth whitening, and a little brightening for the eyes. I also clean up stray hairs or small distractions, but I keep everything looking like *you*! If you have any special requests, just let me know—I want you to love your photos
Preparing is simple, and a little effort goes a long way! Stay hydrated and get a good night’s sleep so your skin looks fresh. Keep makeup natural and polished—not too heavy or shiny. Make sure your hair is neat and styled the way you normally wear it. Practice a few expressions in the mirror—whether it’s a confident smile or a relaxed look, this will help you feel more comfortable on camera. And don’t worry—I’ll guide you through the entire session so you look and feel your best!
