Actors’ profile pictures

An effective actor’s profile portrait needs to meet two key requirements: it must catch and hold the casting director’s eye while remaining clearly recognisable as the person the casting team will meet. Unsurprisingly, some people feel a little uncertain about balancing these two demands, but there’s no need to worry. The process is as enlightening as it is enjoyable, with the photography and shortlist editing completed in a single collaborative session.

Editing and delivery

Following the shoot, weaker images for each pose and clothing style are filtered out. This is a straightforward process and typically reduces 200 images to about 40. The strongest images are then identified, narrowing the selection to a manageable 15-image shortlist.

Simple colour and contrast corrections are applied and minor temporary spots and blemishes removed. Over-editing profile pictures for casting applications is not recommended. The shortlist is then shared via a secure online gallery with options to download images in your preferred size.

Price: £500

A four-hour combined photography and editing session costs £500. If you prefer to leave after the photography, I will handle the editing, but the price remains the same.

Group sessions for agencies and theatre groups are also available and priced according to your specific requirements.
