An Actor’s Experience at Headshot Company’s Studio

Getting actors headshots can feel like a big step, especially if you’re new to the process. You might wonder what to expect, how to prepare, and what the final images will truly look like. Recently, we received such a wonderful Google review from Evie, an actor who came to us for her headshots, that we simply had to share her experience.

Evie’s journey started, as many do, with that initial inquiry. She highlighted how Donna was “super helpful and responsive” from first contact. We believe that clear communication from the outset is key to a smooth experience. Our goal is to answer all your questions and make sure you feel prepared even before you step into the studio.

For Evie, who had never had headshots taken before, feeling comfortable was paramount. She shared that “the shoot itself was a really smooth process, and as someone who had never had headshots taken before I felt really comfortable.” This is a sentiment we hear often, and it’s something we work hard to achieve. Our photographers, like James, are skilled at creating a relaxed atmosphere, guiding you through every step, and helping you feel at ease in front of the camera. As Evie put it, “James knows exactly what he’s doing and directed/guided the process in a way which felt easy and enjoyable.“

Collaborative Styling & Creative Direction

One common question we get is about outfits and styling. Many clients, like Evie, bring a few options but aren’t entirely sure what will work best. Evie noted, “I’d brought a couple of outfits with me not really knowing what the process was/what would work but James talked me through everything and we got a fab variety of shots which I really love!”

This is where our collaborative approach comes into play. We’ll chat about your casting types and the looks you’re aiming for, then help you choose the outfits that will best showcase your range. During the session, our photographers provide expert direction, guiding you through different expressions and poses to capture a variety of shots that truly reflect your personality and acting potential.

Beyond the shoot itself, we know that the studio environment plays a huge role in your overall experience. Evie appreciated that “The studio is also fab – really well organised with refreshments & a nice area upstairs to refresh & change outfits.” We’ve designed our studio to be a welcoming and functional space, ensuring you have everything you need to feel comfortable and ready to shine. From a well-stocked refreshment area to a private space for wardrobe changes and touch-ups, every detail is considered to make your visit as enjoyable as possible.

Quick Turnaround & Stunning Results

Finally, getting your images back quickly is always a priority. Within an hour of every studio shoot, a contact sheet of all images is sent out. Evie was delighted that “The images & the retouched finals were sent to me very quickly, too.” We understand the excitement of seeing your new headshots and strive for a fast turnaround without compromising on the quality of the post production work. Our goal is to deliver a set of images you absolutely love – strong, versatile headshots that will help you stand out. As Evie concluded, she “could not be happier with the experience.”

Here’s Evie’s review in full:

‘I’ve just had my headshots taken at Headshot Company and could not be happier with the experience. From first contact Donna was super helpful and responsive. The shoot itself was a really smooth process, and as someone who had never had headshots taken before I felt really comfortable. James knows exactly what he’s doing and directed/guided the process in a way which felt easy and enjoyable. I’d brought a couple of outfits with me not really knowing what the process was/what would work but James talked me through everything and we got a fab variety of shots which I really love! The images & the retouched finals were sent to me very quickly, too. The studio is also fab – really well organised with refreshments & a nice area upstairs to refresh & change outfits. Thank you guys!‘
