We know it may sound too good to be true, but we honestly believe that great quality actor headshots should be available for all actors and performers. Unlike other headshot photographers that will photograph one to two actors per day, we photograph more. This allows us to offer you great headshots at the prices we do.

You can simply have the shoot and first edited headshot for £30. We create a wide range of headshots in every session, so you will have plenty to choose from.

Of course, we would love you to buy more photos but these are reasonably prices with discounts for buying 4 or more. But there really is no pressure to buy.

When you book your headshot session through our website (Click Book Now from our menu above), you will pay a £30 deposit to secure your shoot. That £30 will then be redeemable against any purchases when you buy your final selection. You will get a coupon code to enter at checkout (like on Amazon)

For each location, we have a dedicated page where you can book your headshot session. Once you book, you will receive an email with a confirmation, directions, and details of what to bring and how to prepare.

We love photographing Child Actor Headshots! We have a dedicated page on the website (Click HERE) dedicated to what we do and how we photograph young and child actors.

We offer the same one-hour sessions so young actors can either use the whole hour or take a small break in the middle to burn off some steam! As many child actors are in school, we also have Saturday and after school availability. Click Book Now above to check availability.

We aim to get your unedited images online and to you as soon as possible. It's typically between 2-3 days but can be a bit quicker depending on workload. You will get an email to your private gallery and instructions on creating favourite lists and buying your images. 

Yes, we can. In many of our shoots, we will include ¾ and full body shots if you like. Remember to bring a complete outfit. 

We have a list of great hair and makeup artists in London and Bristol. Just email us at hello@lumosia.com, and we will send over the right list for you. 

We recommend that you have your hair and makeup done off-site as we have limited room in the studios. Most makeup artists will have space where they can offer this.

UK actor headshots are typically shot in portrait orientation. However, if we think the image will look good in landscape, we will often create two versions in different orientations. 

Of course, you can. We love your input. If you have seen images on our portfolio here or our Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/wearelumosia/ that you would like to recreate, just let us know. It's best to email screenshots of your favourite images before the session.

We will always work with you to help if plans change. You can change your shoot time and date through a link in your confirmation email, or you can cancel altogether (up to 48 hours before the shoot) and receive a full refund. 

We will always aim to get you a range of different looks, including giving you the chance to change your hair. You know your hair best, so have a few ideas of what you can do with it. By all means, bring straighteners, products, etc., to help you get a great range of looks.  

Please do! It’s great to have some support and a familiar face for your shoot. Plus you can go out for dinner or drinks afterward!! 

We love discovering new music. The studios always have some upbeat music playing in the background and are more than happy if you have a playlist or artist, you would like to listen to. Music can really help people to enjoy a shoot. 

Yes, every image you order is fully retouched naturally like the images on this site. We want the photos to look like you when you go into a casting. We will, of course, remove any blemishes, redness, etc. 

We aim to get you your fully edited images to you as soon as possible. Unless you have paid to have your edits expressed, your pictures will be edited in the sequence that we receive the orders.

You will typically receive your final edits within five working days of your order.

Our online booking and ordering systems accept a wide range of credit and debit cards. There is no need to bring cash with you to your headshot shoot. 

For adults, assuming you have not changed your look dramatically, you should update your headshots about every two years. Of course, if you change your hair colour, grow a beard, etc., then certainly get new headshots that show your new look.

For young actors, it depends on age, growth spurts, etc. Every 6-12 months is a good idea for younger child actors, or for tweens and teens, every year.

It can be a challenge to look at images of yourself and choose the best ones. We are more than happy to help you select your best photos. The best thing to do is narrow the selection down to a broader range, and we can certainly help from there. 

It’s a great idea to back up your final images in a few places. Google Drive, DropBox, etc., are great places to store your images securely. However, if the worst happens, just contact us. We don’t keep the unedited versions but should have your final ones for at least a couple of years after your shoot.
