“Absolutely wonderful headshots that Andrej provided. I met him at a Spark Business Networking Event in Nottingham. It was great fun taking a few incredible headshots and the finished results were exceptional.
Andrej is incredibly knowledgeable and was very aware of how I (as the subject) needed to portray and hold myself to bring about an impactful headshot.
Thank you ever so much. I'll display my new photos with much pride on my LinkedIn and other business material! :)”

“What a great experience. Over the years I've done numerous headshots sessions with different photographers, and this was by far the best. Andrej really knows what he is doing and understands what actors want from a headshot session. He has a brilliant way of putting you at your ease. He gives lots of advice on tricks of the trade when being photographed, many of which were new to me, and the end product speaks for itself. My agent is also delighted with the results. The hardest part was trying to decide which of the fabulous range of pictures to post on Spotlight.”

I am in love with the photos and thank you Andrej, I will see you in another 4 years when the shots need updating again”

I GUIDE YOU TO LOOKING THE WAY YOUR GOOD FRIENDS SEE YOU.

So that even people who don’t know you, are inclined to see you in a better light from the get-go.

If you’re an actor,
it is also about exploring your

ACTING RANGE

where I guide you through different looks and moods, discovering the acting chameleon in you
– in a subtle, believable way to show off your range.

My approach

The focus of my headshot portraits is not just on the face. The focus is to show your character in an appealing way.

Just you. Relaxed. Confident. Awesome.
You. At your best.

If you don’t think you can pull it off for the still picture, trust me – you can! How do I know this? Because it will not be just up to you – the photo session is always teamwork: you and your photographer.

“A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.“

– Edward Steichen

If you’re camera-shy or think that you are not photogenic – I’ll guide you to overcome this in two ways: in a practical way and also by working on your mindset (which always impacts how we look).

 

This will allow us (the photo session is teamwork of you and me) to create headshot portraits that will connect with the viewer the right way. This will make, and continue to make a strong impression, conveying that you’re confident and know what you’re doing and, at the same time, that you’re easy to work with.

Professional, corporate profile pictures and acting headshots that elevate your personal brand 

Your headshots should portray your brand in a  genuine way, showing the confident yet approachable side of yours. I’ll work with you to capture such headshots – they are your “deputies” in the online and also offline world, after all, they represent you / your personal brand wherever you cannot be in person.

An impactful business headshot portrait ensures that your presence and character is captured and shines through. It is paramount these days that your business presence is as strong yet approachable as it can be.

“Andrej was an absolute gem! He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera and that’s so important to me, as I was a little nervous at first because it was my first set of headshots. He gave me some great advice and actually explained how to improve the shot; I will most definitely take with me because I honestly couldn’t be happier with my shots. He’s truly captured something subtle and special in my shots and I know I’ll be getting more jobs because of it. I will definitely be shoving my actor friends in your direction for their next set of headshots, I know they won’t regret it. Thanks again, Andrej!”

Ellie Pickering

“I recently had professional headshots taken by Andrej and the experience was outstanding. Andrej’s warm demeanor and expert guidance made the session enjoyable and comfortable. His ability to capture the best version of his subjects was evident in the stunning quality of the final photos. Each image perfectly blended creativity with professionalism, truly capturing my personality. I highly recommend Andrej for anyone in need of top-notch headshots. Thank you, Andrej, for a fantastic photography experience!”

Jarred

“Andrej is an absolute marvel, patient, knowledgeable, expert at putting you at ease, he doesn’t charge enough in my opinion for the time and effort he puts into each headshot. Communication is excellent, his pictures are amazing and the time he spends with you goes above and beyond.“

Tracey Matthews

“To begin with Andrej’s Website and offers are just as professional as his work ethic. He replies very fast and the whole experience was just overall amazing. As an actor, I loved shooting with him, since it was so relaxing and fun and he made me feel very comfortable. I got amazing advice on posing and body language, but what mostly impressed me was his knowledge on facial expressions and little tricks to make slight changes, that later on would have a huge impact on the picture. All in all, Andrej is so talented and amazing and I am more than excited to work with him again. I doubt that you’ll find someone who will offer a better price performance ratio than him. I got the most professional, captivating headshots.”

Maxine Rödiger

“Andrej is a fantastic photographer and I am very happy with my headshots. His superb interpersonal skills also made the shoot very enjoyable, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him. Thanks again Andrej – I shall be recommending you to my fellow actors!”

Carmen Lykoo

“Andrej did a wonderful job with my photos. I wanted quite a specific look and he researched it beforehand and captured it perfectly on the day with lighting and in post. His coaching during the shoot was great and helped us to achieve the desired look. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.“
