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.

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.

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.

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.

I did mention moving out there, but Mrs Godwin-to-one-day-be rightly pointed ...

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 ...
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 ...
