Some of my favourite headshots from this year

So I'm about to close up my first year of business as London Headshots, and what a year it's been! A really big thank you to everyone who came through the studio doors, and also to everyone who passed on recommendations to their fellow actors and actresses. The old "couldn't have done it without you guys" cliché really holds true here, as without you, I'd have been a guy sitting ...

Can't wait! To your left is one of the finished shots of actress Rachel Carnell. She didn't pick this for herself, I just loved it so much I thought it deserved ...

Recent work at London Headshots

Hi, been a while since my last blog update, and that's because I've been on holiday! Took a break with my girlfriend and visited Los Angeles for ten days. Reports suggest that it's the greatest country and greatest city I've ever been to in my life, and returning to London, or more accurately, London's prices was quite a downer. I did mention moving out there, but Mrs Godwin-to-one-day-be rightly pointed ...

Recent headshots session

  Good morning (3am here, 14 hour day today). Thought I'd post a quick shot from a recent headshots session I did. I tried some new lighting out in this shot, and I absolutely love how it looks. I assure you, although it doesn't look like it, there is almost no retouching done to this image. Those eyes, that light, the blur, it's all in camera. In face, the only thing ...

Headshots – The End Of Black And White?

London Headshots asks - Death To Monotone? Disclaimer: This update is one man's opinion, and doesn't in any way disparage some of the amazing B&W professionals out there who capture that beautiful metallic quality, that intensity that only properly realised creative mastery of monotone can achieve. I admire their work, and it continues to influence me.   There seems to have been a marked shift in requirements in the ...

How important is a headshot photographer’s equipment?

If you read internet forums, or talk to some professionals regarding the importance of equipment, many will tell you that it's the photographer that takes great pictures, not the equipment. I think I'm one of the few people who maybe disagrees with this sentiment, and in this article, I'll advance my position. Equipment matters When I'm shooting headshots, for me, the equipment is everything. Many headshot photographers seem to get ...
