+ BASIC HEADSHOTS = £190
[ student rate £170 ]
Same day turnaround + 3 shots retouched

I work predominantly in natural light - indoors or out. Time varies client to client – but it takes anything from 1-4 hours, we’ll play until I’ve captured something that both you and I are satisfied with. (see info page for further details) After the shoot I’ll burn you a CD of all the photographs, so you can take them home that day.

These will ALL be full, high resolution, print quality photos, so you can actually use any of the shots as they are (this is unlike most other photographers - I don't withhold the high-res versions - if we take 400, you can print 400... should you so desire!)

You can also have 3 shots retouched for free – this involves cropping, general tweaking of tones, getting rid of blemishes, reducing eyebags etc... Additional retouching is charged at £10 per shot.

+ PREMIER HEADSHOTS SERVICE = £240
Photos reviewed and sorted by quality + 10 Shots retouched

This is my original way of working (prior to introducing the basic option in 2010). Same 1-4 hour shoot, indoors or out (see info page). After the shoot, I will sort the photographs – by putting them into different folders in order of preference, and eventually narrowing it down to what I reckon are the 8 best shots. These will be a range of different styles to suit the kind of castings that you might be going up for. These 8 will also be retouched - eyebags reduced, unusual belmishes and stray hairs removed etc. I then stick everything on a CD – retouched shots plus everything else, in order of preference - and post it to you. This takes approximately 7-14 days.

Why do I work this way: I've found that from experience, clients often find it difficult to be objective when it comes to looking at hundreds of photographs of your own face. Often shots which would work brilliantly for castings can be overlooked in favour of choosing ones that flatter particular features. Being a headshot photographer and also an actress, I'm very familiar with the best qualities to look for in a headshot. And even if you disagree with the 8 that I pick out, it's still infinitely easier to pick your best shot as the rest of the photos on the disc are ordered according to how good I think they are. You are also welcome to have an additional 2 shots retouched on top of the 8 that I’ve already finished. Everything on the CD (retouched and non-retouched) is provided in full high resolution, print quality.

I can also do an express service if you'd like to go for this option, but need the shots on a faster turnaround. Email me to discuss a quote.

+ CREATIVE PORTFOLIO = £290
Headshots PLUS Modelling/Dance/Publicity portfolio + Sorting + 15 Shots retouched

Same set up as the premiere option – but with the addition of portfolio shots; this can include normal headshots plus pretty much anything you want (within reason and legality). E.g.: Dance portfolios, fashion & beauty modelling, musician portraits, couples portraits, lingerie, nudes... this goes more into the realm of my fine art and exhibition work. This option is by special arrangement only – email me to discuss your requirements.

I do not offer prints. Instead, you can take the disc to somewhere like Image Photographic - www.imagephotographic.com - where they specialise in printing actors headshots to the optimum quality.

 

Production Stills - Theatre & Film

I’ve been doing production stills and publicity campaigns for various companies since 2006 (The Factory Theatre Company, Drywrite, DryFIGHT, Open Arts Café, Latitude Festival, All Expressions). See my production gallery: http://www.fayethomas.com/theatre/ I love doing this. My rates vary according to your requirements. NB: I also understand that a lot of companies work on very minimal budgets, I love theatre – and if it’s an exciting project – and I have time to spare, I may be interested in photographing 'pro bono'... email me with the details to find out!
