Actor Headshots

If you’re looking for a striking, authentic headshot to get you noticed by the right people, then you’re in the right place. Based in Epsom, Surrey, I create professional headshots for children, young people and adults in my relaxed home-studio - or for multiple headshots in an educational setting, I can bring the studio to you (space allowing).

This page contains details about The Experience, Prices, a Booking Form & FAQs. Take a look around and if you have any questions then don't hesitate to get in touch!
“Paula took my teen son’s headshots to update his agency and Spotlight profiles and we were all so delighted with how they turned out. She was extremely easy to work with and made the session a breeze. Best of all, the headshots have generated lots of auditions!"

The Experience

My style is to chat away with you during the session (it may look like I'm not doing much) but it's how I get the best from you and authenticity in the photos. I direct and guide the session so don’t worry if you have never had a shoot before. It might feel strange being in front of the camera at first, but you will relax during the session and get used to it, I promise.

What to Consider

  • What the images are for? E.g. Spotlight profile, agent, acting profile
  • What emotions you want to express e.g. happy, sad, neutral
  • What you’ll wear and how many different looks you need
  • How you'll style your hair / make-up

Do ask your tutor or agent what they recommend here and I'm happy to offer guidance too. For best results, make sure you prepare everything beforehand. Click here to visit my blog for a few ideas right now...

Yes absolutely, I'm very happy to show you the back of the camera during the shoot, so you can see how things are going, and we can change things up if we need to. 

Soon after the shoot, you'll be sent a link to a gallery containing your best images. The images are watermarked. You are welcome to share the gallery with others to help you choose your favourites.

Retouching means editing an image for small details.

Distractions such as stray hairs and temporary blemishes are removed so that the focus is on your expression. Retouching is subtle, it serves to complement the image, not to change how you look. The goal is for a natural finish so you look just like your photo when you go for castings.

Images are also optimised for brightness, colour and contrast to bring out the best in them.

Yes but only during outdoor sessions - there simply isn't enough room in my studio.

Yes absolutely!

Group bookings are available where I come to your location for your convenience. Please contact me with the number of headshots you need plus the location and I’ll happily provide a quote.
