If you’re looking to update your Spotlight profile, apply to castings, or refresh your agency portfolio — your headshot needs to do more than just look good. It needs to feel like you.
At Leon Britton Photography, we specialise in natural, expressive actor headshots from our studio in Liverpool. Whether you’re just starting out, updating your drama school portfolio, or a working professional, we’ll create images that help casting directors take notice — and feel confident hitting submit.
Your session is focused on capturing a range of honest, believable expressions. We aim for clarity, emotion, and authenticity — the kind of headshots that get shortlisted.
We understand what Spotlight, Mandy, agents, and casting directors are looking for. Your final images will meet industry standards for:
Backgrounds
Lighting
Framing
Cropping
File specs (ready for web and print)
🗨️ “This was my first experience getting headshots as a third year musical theatre student, and it could not have gone better! Leon made me feel very comfortable from the second I stepped foot in the studio, and was really good at helping me relax as someone who had never had photos taken before and is naturally a little awkward anyway. He gave his own suggestions and was honest about things that he thought should be changed, but at the same time gave me space to make my own decisions. The photos came out great and when I need headshot updates I will definitely go back! Highly recommend 🙂.”
🗨️ “I honestly had the best time at the photoshoot with Leon. I was really nervous but Leon was so lovely and had me laughing throughout. The headshot photos came out amazing aswell couldn’t have asked for better!!”
🗨️ “Leon was so lovely to work with! I was a bit nervous and awkward going in but he made me feel so confident and comfortable in his space. He actually worked with me on poses and facial expressions to get a variety of shots and they have turned out amazing! Very private and safe space. He helped my vision come to life on screen and I’m so grateful, couldn’t recommend him enough! :)”
🗨️ “Great experience, session with Leon was fun and professional, getting to see the photos immediately after they’re taken really helps you know what you’re doing. Would definitely recommend Leon.”
