Manchester

It’s up to you! I feel the classic shoot with 2 hours and 4 edits is plenty! However, if you’re nervous or take a bit longer to warm into a shoot consider the extended shoot, which is 3 hours with 6 edits included!

A few changes of tops/outfits, anything you need to do your hair and make up (if you wear it)

Check out this blog post I made:”link here” It covers Clothes, colours, and briefly make-up.

Yes, of course! We can figure out which backdrops work best on the day and use as many, or as few, as you’d like! (It does take a few minutes to switch backdrops, so do bare that in mind!)

Yes, if you’d like! Just be aware of time and also if it’s really necessary (does it open up a whole different casting bracket?)

It changes every shoot! Don’t worry you’ll have plenty to choose from. I like to show the shots we’re getting as we go so you can feel confident we’re getting want you need!

Yes! If you’ve had a shoot within 6 months I can offer a shorter shoot for a reduced price. Email for details!

The RAW photos I will keep on file for a year minimum. The online gallery may go down before this, if that’s the case just let me know and I will re-upload. Any edits I will keep indefinitely, in case you lose access! Again just let me know and I’ll send them over.

Yes, additional edits are £15 per photo.

Yes can if that’s what you want! However, colour photos are the standard and much more useful for casting professionals and agents!

Yes! I offer a 20% discount for students* (including student’s of Act4TV)

Yes of course! Just email: josephfinnphotography@gmail.com and we can arrange a new date.

Unfortunately no

After the shoot your images will be uploaded to a private online gallery within 24 hours, where you can narrow down your selection. Once you have your picks just let me know and I'll start the edit. The edits will be sent within 1 week of confirmation. Do let me know if you need them quickly, although it is usually much quicker than a week. I will send full size edits of your photos, as well as, 5x4 crops as is industry standard. If you require black and white edits or any other crops/smaller file size, just let me know!

Yes, of course! Whatever you think will make you most comfortable on the day and therefore give you the best results. Think carefully about what you’d prefer as I often find people feel less comfortable with more people watching. If you are under 18 you are required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

I like to keep my edits minimal, fine tuning the colours and contrast to make them stand out, but keeping them truthful. I will retouch any spots, but I will only edit permanent features like wrinkles and scars if requested. I believe it's a disservice to yourself if you come to a casting looking different to the headshot that got you in the room. Many casting directors have spoken on the topic and the importance of headshots being a true representation of how you look day-to-day. If you'd like a revised edit, let me know what you would like changed and I'll make sure you're happy with it! When posting your images please do not post them with your own edits or additional filters, as this isn't an accurate representation of my work.

Address: Manor St Factory 15-19 Manor St Manchester M12 6HE Once you arrive send me a message to let me know and I will come out to greet you. There is free parking if you drive and the studio's only a 15 min walk from Manchester Piccadilly.
