Sussex Brighton Hove Professional Actor Model Headshot Portrait Photography with Female Photographer

Inject personality into your professional actor headshots with Sussex female portrait photographer

October 26, 2020

If you are looking to build your actor or model portfolio with professional yet unique eye-catching and authentic headshot and portraits pictures than this blog is for you. 

Inject personality into your actor headshots with a right location of the photo session.

One of my favourite aspect of being a professional female portrait photographer here in Sussex is the chance to leave the inside of the photography studio with its artificial lighting and boring: white, grey or black backdrop…

And explore…

Explore unique, colourful, sometimes hidden quirky corners of the Brighton & Hove city or a town near you, as well as breathtaking outdoors areas which I have know from previous shoots. 

Photo shoots outdoor give us unlimited backdrop options. For example: 

  1. Wild range of street art and graffiti around Brighton, Hove or London

  2. Seafront with a beach view and depending on season and light: all  shades of blue

  3. Cute looking narrow streets in North Lanes part of Brighton

  4. Cozy cafes with outdoor tables and chairs

  5. Green park areas, from Hove park, Queens park to my favourite spot in the Preston Park rock garden where you find a rockery, water feature and a romantic bridge

My recent photoshoot with Humberto is a great example of the multiple backgrounds you can have on the seafront.

Humberto’s vision was to capture “beach look” for his upcoming actor and modelling casting with a London agency. We took multiple full-length images of Humberto walking on the beach and seated to showcase his posture, fitness and height. His unique features are his hair and face. We took some authentic yet powerful headshots.

For me perfect headshot captures your unique personality.

Most agencies are looking for unique talents and together we can capture your uniqueness and your gift and still follow the professional actor & model headshot portfolio guidelines. 

And that’s what we did with Natalie.

She’s an experienced actor. We injected her personality and new look into her photo session.

Natalie approached me few weeks ago as she needed to update her actor portfolio. She has recently made the decision to have a drastic haircut to fit better into more masculine acting roles.

She asked for an outdoor photoshoot on the beach during soft sunrise light. During a one hour headshot photoshoot, we captured different looks and emotions with an emphasis on the angle which shows the best of her face and neck features and of course her brand new haircut.

I see a trend  of more of my clients choosing those outdoor locations for their photoshoots, rather than yet another cold, no personality, studio session. 

As a brand photographer and videographer, I am on a mission to help soulful creative individuals, like you, to become more visible out there.

Nowadays, having a portfolio containing high resolution, authentic, natural looking, unique headshots is a must.

Together we can make it happen.
