Why book with me?

I have been working as a professional photographer for 7 years and specialise in working with actors both during headshot sessions and on set of some of the biggest blockbusters. I have provided photography for feature films including Guardians of the Galaxy, Ex Machina, and The Theory of Everything and have worked with actors such as Samuel L. Jackson, Mila Kunis and Eddie Redmayne.

I also work closely with Birmingham School of Acting for whom I have provided interactive lectures on actor headshot photography as well as photographing many of their performances at theatres including The Crescent and The Old Rep. In 2014, around 75% of their students opted to work with me for their actor headshots and left lots of outstanding reviews of my work on HERE

I studied theatre in college and as a youth, I was involved with several drama groups so I understand the processes actors go through as well as the kind of direction and exercises that really help actors get the most out of their performance!

Workshops

Why book a workshop?

• Your students get great actor headshots at over 50% off the normal price
• Your school/agency can charge a mark-up to the actors which can go towards your next production, guest tutor or help grow the school/agency.
• Your website and book of actors will look consistent with headshots taken by the same photographer. I will take a personal approach unique to each actor but at a quality level and style that will help your website and book look more streamlined and professional
• If you are an actors’ services agency, arranging a heavily discounted headshot session for your actors brings added value to your company’s offering and may help attract more clients.

OR

I host the session at my usual shooting location at Cannon Hill Park, by the Midlands Arts Centre.

What:

• Each actor gets 30 minutes one to one time with me in the studio and outdoors if appropriate.
• Multiple looks: time for a change of clothes and hair (believe me, it makes a HUGE difference)!
• Direction and physicality coaching in order to bring out the best in each actor as well as tips to take with them when next having their photo taken.
• A PDF contact sheet containing thumbnails of all the images taken for the actor/school/agent to look through and select images.
• 3 images of your choice, fully retouched and supplied as high resolution JPGS in colour as well as black and white.

How Much:

£95 per student

Restrictions:

For workshops held in Birmingham, a minimum of 5 participating actors is required.

For workshops held outside of Birmingham, a minimum of 7 participating actors is required plus travel at £0.45p/mile.

Booking, Billing and Shooting Process:

If you would like to book an actor headshot workshop, simply CONTACT me, letting me know the address of the venue you would like the headshot workshop to take place in as well as some preferred dates and times.

The school/agency collects payment from actors and informs me of the number of participating students.

I invoice the school/agency for 50% of the total amount to secure the booking.

The shoot takes place and I email contact sheets to the school/agent within 24 hours.

After the shoot, I will invoice the school/agent for the remaining 50% of the booking fee

Once the final payment has been received, and the images selected, the chosen headshots will be retouched and sent to the school/agent within 1-3 working days.

“Aimee made the effort from the second I booked my actors headshot session to understand what I was wanting from my pictures. I wasn’t made to feel like just another number like other headshot photographers have done in the past. The session itself was easy going and I felt at ease, yet I knew I was in professional hands. I got more from my pictures than I had expected and for a lot less than I would have paid a photographer in London!”

-Reynah Oppall

“I was extremely happy with the shoot. If I had known about Aimee’s actors headshot photography prior to this shoot I would not have spent money on previous photographers. The shoot was very well organized, I was happy with the easy flowing direction and ideas from Aimee and it was the best photoshoot I have been part of. I highly recommend Aimee to everyone looking for high quality actors headshots photography!”

-Sunny J

“I had an actors headshot photography session with Aimee Spinks and I was delighted with my experience and photos. Aimee guided me through the shoot and firstly asked if there was any particular style of photo I wanted, which I believe is important to make sure you attract the right audience. Throughout the shoot, Aimee was friendly, professional and offered plenty of advice and things to try in order to make me feel comfortable and achieve the best images possible. From looking at Amiee’s past work I didn’t expect anything less. I was extremely happy with the final selections and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional headshots.”

Summer is here! Who’d have thought we were actually going to get one this year?

I look forward to working with you soon!

“Actors headshots are often long, boring and tiring, but that’s not the case when Aimee is behind the camera. She brings fantastic direction that is short sweet and feels natural to the actor rather than trying to bend their heads round their shoulder to get a shot. I think Aimee’s headshots are the best I have had so far and I wouldn’t hesitate in using her again. Class ‘A’ service.”

– Lou Murrall, Actor

“Aimee was friendly and professional throughout. She took the time to find out what I wanted and then took some great photos, which I received within a week. I would definitely use Aimee again.”

– Lauren Booker, Independent Professional
