FAQ: What is headshot photography?
Headshot photography is a type of portrait photography that focuses on capturing a person's head and shoulders, typically from the chest up. The purpose of headshot photography is to provide a clear and accurate representation of a person's facial features, expressions, and personality.
Headshot photography is often used in professional contexts, such as for actors, models, corporate executives, and business professionals. The headshot is typically used as a promotional tool and is often included in a person's portfolio, resume, or on a website or social media profile.
Headshot photography is typically shot in a studio with professional lighting and a neutral or plain background to ensure the subject is the main focus of the photograph. The photographer will work to capture the subject's best angles and expressions, and may provide direction on posture, eye contact, and other aspects of the shoot. The resulting photos are usually edited and retouched to ensure the subject looks their best.
TestimonialsWe have been working with Mark for several years now and he is the only photographer that we recommend to our Jigsaw students who are seeking new headshots. This is because he consistently provides a fantastic service and very competitive rates. We are always provided with a huge range of shots to choose from, and it is always a very difficult decision to choose the right one as so many are brilliant. Mark is able to get the very best out of the children on the shoot, and they come away having had an excellent experience. Many of our students are in current West End roles and it is their headshot that gets them in the room in the first place. We highly recommend Mark!
