Hey, I'm Toby
I'm a specialist headshot photographer for actors and performers in the entertainment industry, supporting them with portfolio content for work in Theatre, Film & Television.
After training to be an actor at drama school in London, I transitioned into photography after my work built great relationships with top agents and talent. I provided photos for actors working regularly in Film & TV, and also photographed West End theatre productions.
I will help you create the perfect first impression to build trustworthy and profitable networking connections.
I have helped more than a thousand clients around the UK be at ease in front of the camera, and capture images that truly represent their personality and potential.
My business was born and built in London working with a variation of clientele, from professional actors working in film, television and theatre to CEO's of international tech companies.
SO HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
Your Child's Headshot is what will get them seen and into the audition room.
It's good practice to consistently review your portfolio and check that the photos you are using represent your child accurately, both in physical appearance, and represent the roles they are likely to play within their casting bracket.
