Portrait info
My husband Tim and I, shoot anyone in need of a beautiful honest portrait.
I have mainly shot actors and creatives, having been an actor myself. Tim shoots models, actors and everyone in between. Between us our objective is to capture you looking like you on a good day.
The difference is, we come to you.
In the days when I was an actor, the worst part about having my headshots taken was the travelling, arriving hot and bothered then being rushed through the shoot in time for the next person. With our way of working, one of us will come to you and set up a mobile studio in your space so you can be relaxed with your own home comforts, clothes, and makeup without having to pack it all up and schlep across London.
The aim of the session is to capture you, looking like you on a good day. Usually we’ll start around 10.30am, we’ll have a chat, talk through your wardrobe options and what you want in a headshot.
Everybody is different so we’ll start shooting and then review the pictures as we go along, to see what works for you.
You can change your look several times throughout the shoot.

Retouching

Retouching can be a tricky and lengthy process but it's important that (especially for actors), in real life you look like you do in your photo. The retouching we offer is blemish and stray hair removal, colour balancing and cropping. Anything that isn’t permanent.
FAQs
Where are you based?
We will come to you. As long as you’re a ten mile radius from E17. If not, contact us anyway and we’ll see what we can do
What do I need to prepare?
Your clothes, your hair, your make up and your skin. Make sure you get plenty of sleep and drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your shoot.
What clothes should I have ready?
Plain colours. Simple necklines. We don't want to take the focus away from your face so nothing fussy or patterned or bright. If you're unsure we can discuss more on the day or we’re happy to chat through options in advance or on the day.
How long will does a session last?
Roughly a couple of hours. But there’s no time pressure. With the best will in the world offering a photoshoot that lasts five hours is great but you’ll be
exhausted.
How quickly can I see the photos?
Within 48 hours we upload your session to a password protected gallery on my website that you can share with whomever you wish.
How and when do I get the finished photos?
We send high res versions to you digitally and aim to have them to you within a week.
How much retouching do you do?
We apply a colour treatment but the retouching done to your face is minimal. Anything that isn’t permanent is removed. It's important that when you walk through the door at a casting or an interview you look as you do in the photo.
Can I share a session with someone else?
We think it's best to focus on your session only with no distractions. However if you want to enquire about a large corporate or drama school booking, get in touch.
How do I book you?
Drop me an email at chiron.cole@gmail.com and we’ll go from there.
I ask for a 25% deposit to reserve your date. This is non refundable.
