I work with dedicated, passionate actors, artists and creative professionals to build a portfolio of images that creates authentic connections. My approach is that every shoot is an opportunity to produce creative and artistic headshot photography that goes beyond just a “photograph of a face” so common in the headshot photography industry.
My full sessions are unlimited, in practice this means between four and five hours, I have such long sessions because creatiing connection cannot be rushed. Unlike many photographers I don’t book multiple sessions per day, I do this because I want all my attention and energy to be on creating the best possible headshots for you that create connection with your audience.
Coming from a background in the arts, I am a lecturer in art theory at Goldsmiths University, gives my work a uniquely artistic and timeless look. I love to experiment with light, background and composition to create bespoke work that really speaks of your passion.
When working with professional and business clients, I help build a progressive brand image that empowers you and your communities to thrive. I love working with passionate, dedicated small and medium sized businesses to help you show that passion to the world, to make it a better place for us all to live in and to give you a life you love.

A Headshot Session with Time to Explore
Tom’s approach is designed for people who want more than one safe photograph.
Before photographing begins, he takes time to understand what the images need to communicate. Actors can discuss casting goals, previous roles and the characters they hope to play. Business clients can consider their audience, their work and where the finished photographs will be used.
During the session, Tom provides direction while allowing ideas to develop naturally. Images are reviewed together, making it possible to adjust the session and make sure the final selection offers both range and purpose.
