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 ...
This is an update I've been meaning to make for quite a while, but have only just found the time. Hopefully anyone looking to get headshots, even if not with London Headshots, will be able to take something from this to ensure they get the best possible pictures on the day. As an actor, standing in front of a camera and pulling off a believable character is supposed to ...
Wahaay! Wha d'ya think? I'm not going to lie, I'm ridiculously proud of this new site. Up until now I've coded all of my own, but I figured it was time to stop being cheap and buy one. I like to be hands on though, so I bought a template with the intention of adding a few of my own hacks once I'm familiar with it. The whole site is ...
Good afternoon people. Just a quick blog update before I head out to shoot a stuntwoman for a book insert. The shoot is taking place at a local airport, where she will be posing with her airplane.

Joy Ogude, SKY III presenter Good evening all, I trust I'm not the only one who has had a fabulous day, and is currently having a fine evening. Next to this very sentence is Joy Ogude, whom I had the pleasure of shooting today. She presents a youth culture program on SKY 3, and is also currently filming for the *removed*. This is just a quick pull from the camera, and ...

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 ...
How important is retouching in professional headshot photography? How important is good retouching? There are many elements to a professional headshot photography session, and one of the most important is the work that takes place once the headshots session has finished. We can do our absolute best to make sure that the hair is perfect, that your makeup is as flawless as possible, that your clothing doesn't develop any wrinkles, ...
What Makes a Good Headshot? Let's face it, headshots can be pretty hit and miss. During a session, for every decent shot you take, there will be 50 before and after that just won't cut it. Your contact sheet of 500-1000 images might only contain 100 shots worth looking at, and only 20 you can realistically use on your spotlight/castingcallpro profile. From that 20 you would hope to get 10 excellent shots of you ...

I think I'm one of the few people who maybe disagrees with this sentiment, and in this article, I'll advance my position.
