Headshots | Wallsend | Newcastle | North East UK

 

Approach

My headshot photography sessions are all studio based, and my aim is always to create images that are unique to each individual, with a variety of lighting and background options.

The sessions are relaxed and informal, with a collaborative approach to help bring your best to each image.


Session

All sessions are based out of my home studio in Wallsend, conveniently located within travelling distance of Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Northumberland and surrounding areas. It means that sessions don’t involve costly studio hire rates, and can be a bit more informal and relaxed, starting with a coffee and ending with a chance to look through all of the photos from the session.

Using 'tethering' software, you'll see the images appear on the screen as they are taken. That way we can discuss what works, and what doesn't, choosing the direction that we want the photographs to go in. It also means there'll be no nasty surprises: you'll see the photographs as they are being taken, rather than waiting for the results after the session.

At the end of the session, you can look through all of the images and choose your favourites there and then. This means that you can leave the session confident that you have captured the right images for you.

Testimonials

I thoroughly enjoyed my actor’s headshot session with Jon - not only is his creativity and attention to detail astounding, but his professionalism and ability to put a client at ease in front of the camera is a skill he has absolutely mastered. He really does guide you through the process and explains what you need to do in order to achieve the effect you’re after in a simple and clear manner. I am so pleased with my selection of shots we took during our headshot session, and appreciate Jon’s very knowledgeable advice offered when making my selections and his insights really helped with the decision making process which cam sometimes be daunting when faced with hundreds of pictures of your own face!
I will definitely be using him again for headshots and portrait photography in the future.

I had a fantastic shoot with Jon. He helped me to relax into the shoot and translate that into the pictures. He took a large variety of amazing shots that he guided me through and aided me in shortlisting, and picking the finals. He’s a very talented photographer with a great demeanour to achieve the results I wanted from my headshots. Thank you Jon!
