Had the best day shooting my new headshots with Colin. Its impossible to feel stressed around him. Puts you at ease right away and helps with costume choices and directs you when you're unsure of what to do. He knows when you have got the best shots, and shows you how they are looking as you go - so you don't leave worrying you didn't get the look you wanted! Highly reccomend - Top guy x

My headshots came out amazing! Colin and Kycie Makeup artists were so professional and so talented. They wanted to know exactly what my goals were and what I wanted from the photos. They listened and made my ideas come true. Colin is so lovely, made me feel super comfortable the whole time. He's super creative and gave great direction. Kycie was also super lovely and stayed for all the photos making sure I had the look I wanted! Xx fully recommend!

This is the second time we have used Colin for Bo's headshots. His knowledge, perceptiveness and enthusiasm really reflect in the finished work and he digs deep into getting the shots right. Not only is he a great photographer but has a great approach to understanding the clients needs and endeavours to create a brilliant photograph. Thank you Colin. Will definitely see you again!

Colin was great to work with, he has a keen eye for detail and knows those little tips and tricks that will bring out the best in your headshot that a lot of photographers miss. Even though he took his time to individually light and set up each different shot, and was quite meticulous in doing so, I never felt rushed or on the clock, it was relaxing all the way and a really pleasant experience. He even bought me a coffee.

Great to have headshots done again for a second time by Colin, absolutely wonderful experience. Great for Actors. Colin is so communicative with you, throughout the whole experience. He works with you to get what you want out of the session and shows you as he goes what the shots are looking like. Definatly recommend to anyone in need of good quality headshots. He also has a quick turn around to getting your headshots too you which is a big plus!

We're so pleased with the corporate headshots Colin delivered for Studio 91 Media. He took care in the prep and the edit to make sure everything was set up to reflect our branding, colour scheme and personality. During the shoot he was friendly, professional and set us all completely at ease. We'll be recommending him to everyone looking for a corporate photographer!

Colin got exactly what I wanted. He made me feel completely relaxed and gave me great tips on what a good headshot is. The proofs I was sent were all great it was very difficult to choose just 2. I went in with an idea for how I wanted to portray myself and Colin understood exactly what I was going for shot it perfectly. Very very happy and have recommended to all friends in the creative industry.

I recently used Colin to update my daughter's headshots. I knew he would be good, but this guy is literally a wizard! The vision he creates using light and camera is breathtaking and all the pictures captured her essence and personality perfectly. What he knows about the industry is endless and he's got lots of inspirational advice and wisdom that he sprinkles along the way.
My daughter was made to feel part of the process and given little tips on how to project her best self to the camera and the world. She left feeling energised, excited and proud of herself. To top it off Colin is just a great guy, we even chatted psychology and how the Universe responds to your thoughts and emotions, a must for any actor! Highly recommended

Colin is a top bloke and a master Photographer.If you are a serious actor and want serious headshots he is your man.I asked him for a particular look and he absolutely nailed it and I was spoilt for choice with the photos he took.If you tell him your casting type he will talk you through the shoot and make you feel like what you want and you will see it in your eyes in the pics through the emotions you feel as he is talking you through the shoot.Well worth every penny as these photos are the keys to the doors we want to get in as actors. Thanks Col mate fantastic job all round.

Thanks for all your help Colin! Right from the start, Colin's approach to gaining the best headshots is second to none!
Colin's professionalism and expertise came through immediately, with the time he spent days before the shoot, discussing what styles best suits you, what your aims are and which particular niche in acting you're looking for.
Colin is a true talent to his trade, I would highly recommend him to anybody wanting first class headshots, also he was great to work with, from start to finish everything was very relaxed. I found him a genuinely nice guy, whose passion for getting the best results for you shows.

From the off, Colin made the whole experience easy. Having never had my headshots taken before, I had no clue what to expect. We spoke on the phone beforehand and he put me at ease; like an approachable professional. You know you’re in safe hands when a photographer spends a good 20 minutes setting up more lights than the Blackpool Illuminations.
He cares about his work, isn’t driven by money and doesn’t rush. Colin puts as much passion into his craft as we do as actors. This really shows in the final shots. I’m excited to show them off.

I enjoyed working with Colin and that’s what it felt like we were working together. We collaborated to achieve a set of headshots that conveys me. I am happy with what Colin has captured through his lens. His understanding of light and composition has helped me show who I am as an actor and the diversity I can express with just my facial expression and intention. He has also helped me feel a bit more comfortable with still photography, next time I am going to try and enjoy it a bit more!

Magnificent, right off the bat.
Colin greeted me with a warm, comforting embrace & immediately alleviated any worries or concerns I may have, by default placing me in a feeling of peace & excitement. What we created was nothing short of a masterpiece, and that’s without mentioning the razor sharp jawline (self indulgent, deal with it)
I required the best of the best, pictures that would compel & capture the imagination.
A second glancer, work that would not only intrigue you, but leave you staring longingly, mesmerised at the quality. This man knocked it out the park, with the invaluable help of beautiful Chelsea, they both spearheaded a day filled with enlightenment, joy and most importantly, dazzling photography work. Thank you Colin, it was a dream.

Always hated having my head-shots taken, as i think most actors do! But not any more! Colin makes you feel so relaxed from the moment he greets you - i honestly felt like i'd known him years. Colin and Rebecca (hair and make-up) were just incredible in helping me achieve four distinct looks - and whats more - i actually enjoyed the experience! There's a real synergy in the way we all worked together - and i say that because Colin and Rebecca make sure you feel included in the process rather than just being another 'client' - you feel like your opinion matters, and so often with other photographers, that is not the case. I really couldn't recommend Colin - and Rebecca - highly enough. I will definitely be returning.

I always find headshot sessions to be a chore but Colin creates such a welcoming atmosphere with his positive and friendly attitude that it makes it impossible not to enjoy. I visited Colin 3 years ago and in the year that I used those photos I had more castings and more job bookings that year than in the entire 4 years I have been working in the industry.
This time, I also opted for the hair and make up package which I can’t recommend enough! Chelsea was so lovely and absolutely brilliant. It completely erased any worries at all that I usually have on headshot days and felt more like another day on set. I will not be going anywhere else from now on! Thank you Colin and Chelsea
