Whether you're building your first portfolio or refreshing your Spotlight/agency presence, we’ll collaborate to create images that feel true, expressive and unmistakably you.
Starting out, climbing the IMDB listings or a vereran wanting a refresh and update, together we can craft the photos you vision or we develop.
Headshot and Dramatic Character Portraits
Being in the entertainment industry promoting your image is paramount. Photos marry with showreels and your credits, to provide that all important profile poured over by casting agents and directors. Keeping your promoted photos up to date, relevant and exciting is imperative.
Whilst you need the traditional headshot there is nothing stopping you going all out and broadcasting your personality.
For nearly 20 years, I’ve photographed people from every walk of life, and one thing has never changed: great images come from collaboration.
Cameras and lighting matter, but what matters most is the person in front of the lens - and the partnership we create together.
Actors especially bring something unique: personality, honesty, and range.
My role is to draw that out—through conversation, comfort, and a relaxed atmosphere—so your images don’t just look good, they feel real.
Let’s create images that showcase who you are and expand your casting opportunities.
Use the form and send me your details so we can start a conversation.
I like to keep sessions easy, natural, and flexible, allowing us to create a mix of essential headshots and expressive character-driven portraits you can use across your portfolio, agent submissions, or social channels.
“My headshot photoshoot with Matthew was the most enjoyable I've ever experienced—and the results are superb, exceeding expectations. Matthew is a technically brilliant photographer, although it's his general approach and conversation that made all the difference. He has a real knack for bringing out the best in his portrait subjects. I will be engaging Matthew again in future, no doubt.” - Graham McGrath
I come to you and set up a mobile studio, with backgrounds and strobes, for the studio look and we can explore interiors and exteriors for location shoots as you require. If you know what you want, send me a brief. I can create, interpret, modify and pay homage to photo styles as you need to present yourself as you wish or as required by your agency.
If you’re new and starting out we can go through options and ideas to put together an eye catching and honest, authentic library of photos showcasing you as new talent.
Casting actor headshots and portfolio photos are a must and make your introduction to casting directors and agents.
