50 Portraits From Headshot Photographer Nick Gregan

Merton Young Faces Photography Exhibition is a series of 50 stunning portraits from headshot photographer Nick Gregan. Well that s what the exhibition press release says it s all about, but is a portrait any different from a actors headshot? Yes and no, in this series of photographs I have taken what I call contextual portraits this means they are in an enviroment or contain something that relates to and helps tell the story of the subject. Louis In this shot of Louis who is an up and coming actor I wanted to place hime somewhere he felt comfortable, it was on stage in Wimbledon Theatre. Louis had a great confidence about him and was also quite a cool young man. I ve captured all of this in this portrait without going down an obvious route. In an actors headshot I am looking for the actor themselves to tell their story. We want a casting director to lok at their headshot and see the actor, to relate to them and not be distracted by other elements within the photograph. Peter In this h

Headshot Photography News?

I like to stay up on the current trends in headshots and of course headshot photography news as it comes ‘hot off the press’ as they say. Occasionally I come across some advice that really bucks the trend and in some cases is rubbish. Regular readers will know I like to give useful advice to help actors improve their chances of getting a great headshot, you’ll also know I often warn people to be wary of ‘amateur photographers’. Actors headshot by Nick Gregan There isn’t a professional governing body that regulates photographers, you don’t have to have any qualifications to call yourself a professional photographer indeed I myself don’t have any at all other than 25 years experience.

One of the results of sophisticated digital cameras becoming cheaper and cheaper is that it’s eas

Shakeapeare’s Actors Headshots Tips on His Birthday

Shakespeare The great Bard William Shakespeare, may have been born about 450 years ago today (or a round about this time), he gave us many words of wisdom but hidden in his magical works are some little know snippets of invaluable information. As an headshot photographer I decided to did deep into the world of Shakespeare and have a little fun with some of his thoughts on headshots. Perhaps unwittingly or perhaps visionary he gave us pointers on the best way to achieve a great actors headshot. I thought to myself, I had to pass on these words of wisdom our greatest bard has given to aspiring actors of today s generation. Skimming through his great works I ve dug out some quotes that Shakespeare must have been thinking about applying to today s actors when he wrote them.

How should actors go about choosing the right headshot photographer?

Your headshot is the first impression a Casting Director has of you. A great headshot is what’ll make a Casting Director or an Agent sit-up and take notice of you.  It’s your first point of contact and often your only point of contact, so essentially the image has got to grab their attention and hold it. You absolutely can’t take a chance with not impressing them in all the right ways. This is your career you are talking about and the image you want to portray to the industry professionals. My advice is; choose a professional headshot photographer to do the right job for you but how do you find the right person for you? © Nick Gregan It can be a tricky question to answer, do you go on recommendation, and do you go for the most expensive person?

However because the relationship between a headshot photographer and their client
