Did you know I also offer acting headshots in Surr Did you know I also offer acting headshots in Surrey?

A few weeks ago, a lovely young actor came to see me with her mum, after signing with an acting agency. She needed a selection of natural headshots with a plain background and a variety of expressions for her portfolio.

She did such a brilliant job, and I’m so excited for her to start using her new images.
