Acting headshots. No drama.
Casting-focused portraits shaped around the roles you want to be seen for. Varied framing, natural or controlled lighting, active direction, and Spotlight-ready files. Shot on location or at the ZBS studio in Borough, depending on the work.

Built for castings, not LinkedIn.
Corporate headshots give you one look. That's fine for a profile page. Casting directors want range. They want to see you warm, serious, edgy, approachable, sometimes in the same submission. That's what this session is designed for.
Casting-led direction
Clear guidance across expression, posture, eyeline and energy, building distinct options rather than repeating the same smile in different clothes.
More framing range
Tight portraits for the casting grid, wider shots with context. Variety in feel without changing location.
Dynamic lighting
Natural light is our default, but we bring studio lighting for sessions that need it. Hard light for edge, soft light for warmth, or a mix. We'll discuss what suits your casting range before the session.
Detailed retouching
Skin work is more detailed than a corporate edit. We clean up blemishes and smooth where needed, but nothing that changes your features. Casting directors need to recognise you when you walk in.
What you get.
A specialist 75-minute session built around casting range, thoughtful preparation, careful selection and detailed finishing.
75-minute session
We begin with a short briefing and some shared ideation around your casting range. We then create up to three looks using deliberate changes in expression, framing and lighting, before finishing with a quick review of what we've captured.
You choose 6 final images
You'll select six photographs from a private proof gallery. Every chosen image receives detailed, natural retouching and is supplied in high-resolution and Spotlight-ready formats. Six images retouched to casting standard, not ten with a lighter edit.
5-working-day delivery
Your finished photographs are delivered through a private online gallery within five working days of confirming your selections.
Optional extra images
Additional finished images are £20 each, or three for £49, where the proof gallery contains more photographs you'd like professionally finished.
On location or in studio
The £179 covers either a suitable London location with portable lighting, or an indoor session at the ZBS studio in Borough on Mondays and Tuesdays, studio lighting included. Need a different studio? We'll quote that hire separately.
For the next role, agent or chapter.
Whether you're updating your Spotlight profile, submitting for a new agent, building a comp card, or need fresh shots after a look change, this session covers it. We work with emerging and working actors, drama school graduates, commercial models, and voiceover artists who need a face to the name.
Two sides of the work.
Start with the gallery closest to what you need. Acting work prioritises casting range and recognisability. Editorial work allows more room for mood, movement and context.
