Scheduling a session with us is easy. We are open 7 days a week and have availability from 9:30am right through to 4:30pm.

Brilliant service, fun too! I received some great photos for acting and classical music headshots and the help I was given when choosing the photos afterwards was expert and useful.

Had a wonderful time at Vanity Studio! Photos are tailored for your own use and the price is reasonable. As a musician, I needed some headshots for my promotion and I came out getting exactly what I wanted (great quality). Highly recommended!

This was not something I had done before but the photographer was lovely and made me feel at ease. I was worried that the photos would look very staged and somewhat 'cringe' but this was not the case. I would recommend!

FAQs
For a professional actors headshot you should opt for plain colours. Avoid busy patterns or prints as they can be distracting. Also avoid flesh tones too, and instead choose flattering mid tones such as blue, green or purple.
This depends on your look and the type of roles you are casting for. Generally it is advised to go for a more neutral and natural look for your headshots. It may be best to avoid heavy makeup in order to make your headshots more universal.
Our actors headshot prices vary depending on your requirements. Please look at our pricing page for information, or get in touch with us directly on 020 7734 4731 to discuss your needs.
At Vanity Studios, we have developed our own in-house technique that all photographers replicate when working with us. They are kept up to date with all the Actors Headshot requirements direct from people in the industry. |
Time to update your actor headshots?
Getting the right headshot photographer in London can be a tough mission with a vast range of options available. As a performer, a professional headshot is crucial to booking castings that will lead to the jobs you want and further your experience as an actor. Vanity Studios, based in London, has many connections to the theatre and film industry and has carried out extensive research as to what casting directors are specifically looking for when they are analysing portfolio applications on Spotlight.
Gone are the days of black and white portraits, as casting directors now need to see your colouring in your headshot images. When an actor comes to Vanity Studios, firstly we establish whether they are predominantly a musical theatre or screen actor as many performers prioritise which area they want to pursue. This can vary the look and feel of the headshot as in musical theatre a heavier make up look is commonly used, whereas in the film industry they commonly prefer more of a nude look, which can be created by our professional make up and hair stylists.
We usually recommend a variety of opposing looks when shooting headshots as having slightly different images for your portfolio will help not only in acting castings but also with commercial bookings. Varying photos will show diversity and create the best shots to get shortlisted for those essential castings. Usually we suggest wearing one dark colour and one light colour; and for girls, we recommend having your hair styled up in one of the headshots. Our professional make up and hair stylists will of course help create this on the day.
Vanity Studios headshot photography packages are excellent value, and as you will see from our gallery, the results are outstanding. Contact our studio today for your specific requirements and help on how to book your session.
