Locations

I shoot only on location using flattering natural light, central London is a great place to shoot, lots of amazing places with great backdrops.

Two areas I shoot most are around Kings Cross and in the City of London - Moorgate/Barbican are particularly cool places to do a headshot session.

Central London Locations - Kings Cross - Moorgate - Barbican

The Shoot

All headshot sessions are shot outside in flattering natural light - A headshot that looks like you on a good day

Most shoots are in and around the city of London, including evenings and weekends.
I've worked in central London for over 20 years and know the area very well, there are lots of cool and quiet places to shoot, no matter what the weather.

Before the shoot

Do get a good nights sleep - avoid a late night before.

Do drink plenty of water.

Be groomed.

Hair washed.

What to wear

Bring plenty of different tops, colours and necklines.

Always bring a few black tops - dark colours generally work well.

White tops work well unless you're very pale.

Avoid logos/big patterns.

Shirts/blouses can give you a professional look.

Layers can work well, jacket/jumper over a top.

Don't jam tops in a bag, roll them to avoid creases.

Extras

Bring hair ties for long hair.

Normal makeup, don't go overboard.

After the Shoot

Proofs normally sent within 24 hours

Retouched images normally sent within 72 hours after selection

Images are also available in black & white at no extra cost

Contact

I hope I've covered most of your questions from the site, but if you wish to ask me anything else drop me a line.

Just to recap, I shoot outside using natural light, my favoured locations for headshots are central London, Moorgate/Kings Cross. If the weather is inclement I have areas that I can shoot that are covered.

I operate seven days a week, including evening in the summer months

My aim is to produce beautiful stunning professional headshots that will enhance your chances of getting that call from a casting agent.

I charge between £100-£140 for a session which I think is reasonable and hopefully affordable for an actor.

You can email me on david@stoneshoot.com for any questions or to arrange a shoot.

Stating which shoot you are interested in and location, central London or North Herts.
