STUDIO HEADSHOTS IN BRISTOL
I simply did not know I could look this professional and relaxed.
I really enjoyed looking over the shots during and after the shoot, and I was taken aback by the presence and representation of myself in his work. You made the whole process easy and enjoyable.

Hate having your photo taken? Most people do.
I explain everything as we go, so you always know what’s happening and why. We chat, and I coach your expression one small step at a time until it looks like you on a good day.
My camera links to a screen, so you see every shot as we take it. No surprises at the end.
I set the light to suit your face, and the expression to suit your industry. A barrister and a yoga teacher need different headshots, and I’ll help you find yours.

I absolutely detest having my photo taken.
On the day itself Marcus made me feel relaxed and we had a good laugh taking the images. Thank you Marcus for an enjoyable photoshoot and some fantastic images
Louise McMilan, Leadership Development Coach & Speaker
The shots flashed up on his laptop.
He used his experience to immediately put me at ease. I could see his expertise as he tried different lighting, responded to my suggestions as the shots flashed up on his laptop, and asked me to make minor adjustments to my pose.

I had no idea what to do with my face, hands... anything really.
I was so nervous beforehand. But Marcus completely put me at ease. He was calm, kind, and made the whole process feel relaxed and fun, which is an insane thing for a camera-shy introvert like me to say! And of course, the photos turned out incredible

How the day runs
Before the day. You send me a schedule and the name of one contact.
Set-up. I set up in any spare room. Bigger is better, but small rooms work. Everything runs on battery, so I don’t need a power socket.
The shoot. Each person gets 10 to 15 minutes. My camera links to a laptop, so they see their photos as we go. I keep shooting until they’re happy.
Capacity. Up to 60 people in a day.
Delivery. Edited headshots within 48 to 72 hours.
Rearranged his weekend to shoot on the Saturday.
Having been named as finalists for an industry award… our brand photos were not up to scratch to share nationally. I called Marcus on the Friday… [he] delivered a set of high quality images in time for our Monday morning deadline.

Matching photos across offices and over time
For teams, I use a set system: the same background, the same light, everyone facing the same way. Grey is my standard, because it suits most skin tones. If your team page already uses white, I’ll match that.
A photo taken at one office matches one taken at another, even on the same day. A new starter photographed next year matches the person who sat down first.

Can you tell which were shot first?

Thank you so much for the pictures, they were amazing!

Up to 5 people. For 6 or more new starters, I come back to your office at the team-day rate.
Big groups
Conferences and company days need a different approach. I’ve directed groups of 150 from a balcony, so everyone is visible and facing the camera.

A fun and relaxed environment to get the best out of his clients.
We have worked with Marcus on a couple of occasions for our office headshots and group photos. The images he produces are unbelievably good. Will 100% be using Marcus again.
