Hello and welcome...

Headshots are the most important marketing tool in any actors arsenal. Why, because unless you've already reached the top, they are usually the first thing a casting director or client sees and are the gateway to the next step, the audition. I've worked in production on many commercials and seen first hand the initial selection process and it's enough make any actor's knees weak or to put it another way, I've dealt playing cards slower than some clients go through headshots. For this reason your headshots need to say something the second you look at them, and that something is in your eyes, your smile and your body language. For this reason it is important to feel comfortable during the shoot. That's why I have Sven and Olga from the Swedish Massage Team here to assist with that..Just kidding, unfortunately. My philosophy when it comes to shooting is to see what my clients bring to the table and then adjust how I work to fit their personality. What I mean by that is, some people are very confident and out going in front of a still camera and need little in the way of direction where others may not have too much experience with still shoots and may need a little more coercing. That being said, think of me as you would a director on a movie, I direct the shoot but I'm always open to your input and ideas so feel free to be yourself.

A bit about me...

I've been in the professional photo business for over fourteen years. I worked for some of the top photographers in town and learned to light from the best. I tend to use natural light when it comes to headshots because it's less intrusive and allows you be yourself and feel more relaxed than studio lighting. I do have a full range of studio lighting if that's the look you prefer however casting directors seem to favor the natural look these days. That said, I'm a photographer not an actor. Photography is my business and my life and I know how to bring out the best in you.

Hope to see you soon,

Andrew...

PS. I would put a picture of me on the this page but trust me, I'm better off behind the camera.
