Nick never disappoints, my third time using his headshot service. Always encouraging, enjoyable, relaxed photoshoot resulting in great photos. As an actor it's so helpful for outside view to help draw out potential casting characters, Nick does exactly that and more; I had three characters Light, Dark and neutral looking characters. Brilliant price particularly because the actor salary fluctuates. Thank Nick 10/10. Rohit Gokani.

Response from the owner:Thanks so much for your kind words Sol, it was a real pleasure and good fun.

I had a headshot session with Nick for musical theatre/acting, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt so comfortable and had such a fun time. Nick made the whole process feel effortless and created an environment where I could just be myself in front of the camera — which allowed him to capture the best and most authentic shots of me. His assistant also added to the brilliant energy in the studio and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’m not only thrilled with my headshots, but also with how professional, relaxed, and genuinely fun the whole experience was. I would 100% recommend getting your headshots done with Nick — not just because of his incredible photography, but because of how confident and comfortable he makes you feel while creating them. Thank you, Nick!

I had such an incredible experience at Nick’s headshot workshop! He was patient, encouraging, and made the entire day so enjoyable. Even when unforeseen circumstances caused others to cancel, Nick didn’t cancel the class which really showed how much he cares about his students and their growth. I left feeling confident, inspired, and with so much valuable knowledge. Highly recommend his workshops!

I have used Nick a number of times both for myself and my daughter for her agency and Spotlight profile. Every session with Nick has been fantastic, he’s simply excellent at what he does. He puts you at ease to get the best from you and captures truly fabulous photos in a number of guises and has an extremely keen eye to know what’s best for what use in the industry. You can learn a lot from Nick, trust him and you’ll be very happy with the result. Don’t hesitate to book him.

An excellent and fruitful experience. Best shots I've had,very much down to Nick's approach. Will definitely be in contact when I need updated shots.

Nick takes great photos but only gives the touch ups, so you have to pay for the rest per photo.

I really enjoyed my shoot with Nick and was delighted with my headshots and full length shots. Nick gave me excellent direction throughout the shoot and had some wonderful ideas and suggestions. I loved his use of light, both in the studio and outside.

Nick's headshot session was great- very informative, playful and relaxed. He taught me what casting directors are looking for in a headshot and also how to 'work' the camera for my own advantage. I highly recommend Nick for anyone requiring headshots as he can get the best out of you in a session.

I've been to Nick a couple of times for photos now and he did a great job both times. He has patience, lots of (very good!) ideas and produced really good shots which even I like - I generally dislike any pictures of me. I highly recommend him.

I have a great time working with Nick. He offered great tips for headshots and created a safe environment for the section. He took about 40 frames for four different looks in just an hour, which is so efficient, and I genuinely love my photos. Also, It was fantastic that he was willing to travel down to Guildford to take headshots for my classmates and me.

A great experience! Nick’s experience, professionalism and knowledge in the industry has been invaluable for the shoot. The photos are excellent and more importantly, are getting me jobs. 5/5. Thank you Nick Gregan

I met Nick Gregan 20 years ago. He took my first Head Shots. As an Actress I have to have New Head Shots every few years, s a requirement of my profession. I have chosen Nick because he makes me feel at ease, no pressure and I like the quality of the photos. Nick will talk to me during the Shots to relax me and take photos in order to capture that natural smile. Nick is quick. I like we can look and decide which photos to choose and if I feel unhappy with the photos, we try again till we get the perfect picture. Lia Alu Actress.

Can thoroughly recommend Nick for headshots; totally delighted with the results. I'm not naturally comfortable in front of a camera and Nick managed to work around that and also taught me many techniques that I can leverage in the future!

Nick has been excellent throughout the process. He managed to squeeze me in at short notice, and then spent as long as it took to get the right photos in a variety of outfits and positions. He also took plenty of photos (unlimited) which was great in getting the best photos. He has a natural ability to make one feel relaxed. And the photos were great. Would highly recommend.

Nick makes you feel instantly relaxed in a professional but fun atmosphere, he fully empowers you to take control of the session whilst offering his vast experience photographing actors to help you bring out the real 'you' and achieve a classy set of photos. I could not be happier and will highly recommend Nick to everyone.
