ABOUT NATALYA 

 

Hello! 
 
I'm Natalya and i'm a london based photographer with a background in acting, specialising in headshots and portraits for actors and all human faces! I have had an exhilarating career behind the camera which has included being assistant photographer on the set of Ben Wheatley's movie 'Free Fire', photographing actor Cillian Murphy.
I have worked with Warner music, taking portraits of singers including Peter Andre, Shane Filan and Nadine Coyle for press and publicity and have had the pleasure of taking behind the scenes portraits and headshots for the lovely Lesley Sharp on the set of a short film she starred in alongside Joseph Mawle.
 
Your headshot is the key to those audition rooms!
A decent photographer knows that the shot doesn’t just lie in good composition and light.. Its about revealing what makes you unique and getting a shot that is so engaging and present it literally leaps off the page and is impossible for the casting director to look away.
 
I work in a fun, informal way using beautiful, natural light to get you captivating shots that look like you at your absolute best! 
It is important to me that the session is a collaboration and that you are very involved in the direction we take things. 

I am consistently told this is where I differ from most other headshot photographers. Consequently, people find the whole experience empowering and come away extremely satisfied as they have felt comfortable and been a part of the creative process. Therefore, there are no nasty surprises as I regularly show you the monitor throughout the shoot so that you can make any necessary adjustments and also feel confident that we are capturing the best version of yourself that you had imagined from the start. I hereby promise that you will feel comfortable and relaxed from the word go and come away with arresting, beautiful and unique headshots that will make it much more likely for you to get in those rooms and be seen!

Please see the section ‘work life’ for more information and testimonials for my business headshots.

My headshot was taken by the extraordinary Natalya Chagrin.
Her headshot increases the number of auditions you get!
