Premium (£550) is a three-hour session including full professional hair and makeup with Callista Thomas. Includes 3 outfit changes, a mix of headshots and PR-style images, a web gallery within 24 hours, and 7 retouched final images in colour and black & white.

Pro (£850) is our most comprehensive package — up to four hours with full hair and makeup, 5 outfit changes, a same-day web gallery, and 12 retouched final images with priority 3-working-day delivery. Ideal for founders, public figures, speakers, and creatives building a full visual identity.

HOW MUCH DOES A HEADSHOT SESSION COST?

Sessions start at £350 for Standard (1 hour, 2 outfit changes, 4 retouched images), £550 for Premium (3 hours, with hair and makeup, 7 retouched images), and £850 for Pro (up to 4 hours, with hair and makeup, 12 retouched images, same-day gallery and priority turnaround). Team and corporate group sessions are quoted on request.

WHERE IS THE STUDIO LOCATED?

The studio is at Unit 6A, Block 1, Dockyard Industrial Estate, Woolwich Church Street, London SE18 5PQ — in Woolwich, easily reached on the Elizabeth Line and Overground. Full directions are sent upon booking. On-location shoots are also available on request for Premium and Pro packages.

CAN I SEE ALL THE PHOTOS FROM THE SESSION?

Yes. After your session you'll receive a web gallery of all the unedited images within 24 hours (same day for Pro). From there you choose your favourites for retouching, which are included in your package.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I RECEIVE MY FINAL EDITED IMAGES?

A web gallery of all images is delivered within 24 hours of your shoot (same day for Pro). Retouched final images follow shortly after, with Pro clients receiving priority turnaround — final retouched images within 3 working days.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Solid colours, minimal patterns and no large logos tend to work best. Bring at least one outfit that feels like you on a good day — and a second that's a little more formal or a little more relaxed, so we have variety to work with. If you've booked Premium or Pro, we'll guide you through outfit choices during the session. Read our full guide to what to wear for a headshot on the blog.

DO YOU OFFER HAIR AND MAKEUP?

Yes — both Premium and Pro packages include full professional hair and makeup with Callista Thomas. For Standard sessions, hair and makeup is not included, but you're welcome to arrive camera-ready. If you'd like to add hair and makeup to a Standard session, get in touch and we can discuss options.

I'M NOT CONFIDENT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA — IS THAT A PROBLEM?

Not at all — it's actually the most common thing clients say before their shoot. Most people are surprised how relaxed the session feels. We direct you through every pose, angle and expression so you look natural and like your best self. No awkwardness, no stiff smiles, no experience needed.

CAN YOU PHOTOGRAPH MY WHOLE TEAM OR COMPANY?

Yes — we regularly work with companies of all sizes, from small leadership teams to full department rollouts. We can shoot in our Woolwich studio or come to your office and set up a professional mini-studio on site. Everyone is photographed with a consistent lighting and framing setup so the whole team matches. Get in touch for a tailored quote.

CAN I BOOK ACTOR OR PERFORMING ARTS HEADSHOTS?

Yes — we regularly shoot headshots for actors, performers and presenters. Our images are suitable for Spotlight, agents and casting directors, and are delivered in both colour and black & white. Just select the package that suits you or mention your intended use in the booking notes so we can tailor the session.

DO YOU SHOOT ON LOCATION AS WELL AS IN THE STUDIO?

Yes — on-location shoots are available for Premium and Pro packages. We can come to your office, a relevant location, or discuss a setting that suits your brief. Get in touch to discuss.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE?

Life happens — just get in touch as soon as possible and we'll do our best to move your booking. Please see our Terms and Conditions for the full cancellation and rescheduling policy.
