Just email or call me. I book only five sessions a month but will try to fit you in quickly. You pay the session fee when you book.

Both genres of photos share some similarities. Simply put, a headshot is a professional photo showing the face and shoulders. Today, a headshot is helpful for anyone wanting to promote themselves professionally or personally, like Linkedin or online dating profiles.

My full headshot and portrait sessions have no time limits, so we can keep going until we get the perfect shot. The booking fee for a full shoot is £400. After that, you can buy any images you like at £50 each, including editing. You only pay for the photos you choose. If you want just one or two shots for LinkedIn, I offer a shorter session for £280 with one image included.

After your headshot or portrait session, we'll review the photos on the Mac and pick the ones you want to buy. We will shoot a lot of images but narrow them down as we go, so you'll have a manageable amount to choose from . I'll help and advise you, but the final choice is up to you.

You will receive web-ready JPEGs and print-ready TIFFs. Prints are also available—just ask for prices.

I own the photos, but you can use them personally, fairly, and for self-promotion only. They can’t be used for major ads or outdoor advertising. If you want to use them for such ads, we can talk about extra fees. You can’t sell, share as your own. I can use the photos for my own marketing and photography competitions. If you want full business rights and to stop me from using them, contact me to agree on a price. This is a common practice in advertising.

Sorry, no. Editing is a key part of creating images, so I never share a photo without editing it first. My reputation and brand depend on it.
-
Again this is about my reputation. However, there may be circumstances where this is negotiable, such as if you wanted to add a colour tone to the images for your branding, but please discuss this with me before the shoot and we can consider this in advance and shoot accordingly.
-
Before the shoot, we’ll talk about the style and direction. Then during the session, I’ll show you some images as we go so you can give feedback then. This is a team effort. If you don’t like how it’s going, just tell me. The time to make changes is during the shoot not after.

My studio is situated in Hyndland in The West End of Glasgow. There’s plenty of parking.
