James Heatlie Photography
Relaxed and authentic headshots for all
For Actors
Our goal is to get the shots that will get you into the room or self-tape for you to be able to book the job. We will aim for classic character looks that showcase your individual talent and work towards your main spotlight or profile picture highlighting all the potential characters you have the potential to be. Sessions are relaxed and direction for posing is given to help you achieve the best shots from your session.
For Models
For when you are needing new headshots or portraits for your portfolio or want to update images for your website or social media and don’t need full length images or to book a full test shoot. We will discuss your needs and tailor the session accordingly. Sessions are relaxed and we will work creatively together to get the best results.
For Business Professionals
Whether it’s a new LinkedIn profile picture or for your company or personal branding website you need a headshot that shows your character and also represents your brand or company. We aim for neutral styling and a feel that is timeless and classic so that your headshots will serve you for several years and grow with your business. I will help you relax in front of the camera and give tips on posing to help you find your best angles.
“Working with James Heatlie was such a wonderful experience! I get quite nervous and socially awkward when working with someone new but James made me feel totally at ease and we chatted and laughed throughout my session. He has a clear understanding of what headshots need to show in an actor and was very helpful with styling the clothes I brought to make sure there was variety whilst still valuing my opinion on what I wanted.
James was also so great at helping me find new poses and bringing out my best angles and facial expressions and he also assisted with my selection process by giving me advice on what to look for in a good shot. Ultimately, I love my new headshots and would absolutely recommend James to anyone looking for new headshots that stand out from the crowd!!”
“I could not recommend James enough. In all the years I have been an actor, these sets of photos are by far the best I have ever had. They capture me, and my recently changed casting-age bracket well.
James took the time to really listen to my thoughts on my career, and how I wanted to come across, and applied that. The session was not rushed, and James allowed me plenty of time to change looks.
And the cherry on the cake, my agents couldn’t stop raving about how perfect they were for me, and we’ve all noticed a difference in the type of castings I’m getting. ”
“Amazing photographer who really puts you at ease during the shoot.”
