This journey began because actors we knew well were heading off to get headshots and showreels done by people who didn't know them at all. This meant the photos and films just weren't representing them as powerfully as we thought they deserved.
Your headshots and showreels are your sales pitch, your first impression "on paper" (as it were) which means they need to be honest and simple yet still stand out in a crowded space (for the right reasons!). Why jump in with us? No First Date Nerves We already know you! During your training with us, we get to know you, your castings, your default castings and your full range of possibilities which means we can push you to be simple yet bold and brave. You also already know you can trust the space and our process which is half the battle with headshots and showreels so we'll get to work efficiently seen as we won't be working against those First Date Nerves. We're better together... because we know you do your best work when you feel safe and supported, everything we do, we do as a team. So instead of the photo shoot being done on your own, you'll be with other actors, probably ones you know. The showreels will be created as a collective, with you at the heart, of course with a simple format you'll already be familiar with. Headshots - for £175 you will get...Before
★ Preparation notes ★ Coaching on styling During ★ 8 hours shared between up to 8 actors ★ Working as a group means everyone has time to change clothes and hair etc without all the pressure of most other shoots but most importantly the comradery lifts spirits, eases nerves, offers inspiration and raises the bar. ★ Steph coaching you throughout the day whilst James takes the pictures ★ Full professional lighting set up and a variety of backdrops options ★ Chance to review photos as you go along ★ Option for outdoor shots After ★ Access to all your pictures with an easy format to choose your final ones ★ 5 edited included in the price ★ Only £15 for any extras |
The perfect combination of Steph (acting coach) and James (photographer) worked wonders for me. Steph brings out your best, authentic self, so the pictures look like... you! James is a highly skilled and hard working photographer, I've been acting for 11 years and these headshots are my favourite! Already they have got me some great auditions, says it all! The way the day works is genius, allowing you enough time to try different looks and feel relaxed during the whole process. ~ Josie Cerise |

Showreels
We are super excited to be running our first Showreel Retreat in October 2021 (Fully Booked!)
Who’s it for?
This 6 night course is available for actors who have already trained with us before - you must be advanced in the Relationship's Exercise.
Let’s keep it simple:
Day 1: We'll explore the format.
Day 2: We'll co-create your scenes ready for filming by playing and exploring your circumstances and characters both in and out of the studio.
Day 3: You'll have a day to do a reccy to find places to film without me (to keep costs down)
Day 4: White Water Rafting and sound / camera checks with further scene development
Day 5: On location filming - we'll be filming on 2 cinema cameras & using lapel mics and/or boom
How many scenes: 2
Even though we're creating something specific, over our 4 days together you will continue to be challenged as a human and an actor as we have a biiiig stretch of those acting muscles.
We’ll connect to our deep sense of self, we’ll continue to practise grounding and stability and what it is to be present because without it you won’t be a present and safe actor.
And it wouldn’t be a retreat if we didn’t get outside to deepen that learning so we’ll also head out into the wild for some fun - White Water Rafting.
