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.

We had Nick in for some office headshots, and he couldn't have been nicer, more helpful or more efficient from taking the photos to editing and delivering them back to us. He was highly professional and skilful at getting us to pose naturally, especially as some were daunted by having their photo taken! Everyone left the room happy and satisfied. The photos were edited very well, and we are very happy. Would highly recommend.

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!

Fantastic, fun experience for my son. Nick got amazing results, and the photos led to auditions. Couldn’t ask for more.

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.

Absolutely brilliant headshots, and really lovely photographer who knows exactly what he's doing, thanks so much Nick.

I always dread having my headshots done. Inspired by Nick's book, I made an appointment. I was able to prepare properly, put the whole experience in context and set up strong communications with Nick. The studio was well-equipped with a well-lit, private dressing room. We used scenarios and monologue, different backgrounds, lighting and costumes. We reviewed as we went along. Nick helped me to relax, and the result was a series of shots I could have chosen from - usually I only have a few. The fee for the two hour shoot, and 3 retouched photos, was reasonable. Highly recommended!

Nick is a Don. I’d say Nick is what you’d call an actors, actor photographer. He know how to stir those feelings and getting that subtext behind the eyes. He does this via the medium of role play. At times it felt like I was back doing a class at drama school.He makes you feel relaxed, by basically being himself. Warm, welcoming, authentic and his humour is second to none. It’s like having a chat with a mate. He never gives you that feeling that time isn’t on your side.I was dreading getting these shots done as I’ve put on a bit of timber over Covid and I’ve come to an age where I had to shave my head. So I was quite insecure about the whole affair. As you know the camera doesn’t lie. Again Nick was reassuring and put me at ease. He actually made me feel like a million dollars.To stay I was happy with the end results, would be an understatement. The headshots are the best I’ve ever had. I’m eternally grateful. Nick is a God send. I also found the pricing very reasonable. Which is a bonus:) Go to Nick he is a Del monte;) Thanks Nick

This was the first time I had a professional shoot and I was quite nervous and camera shy but Nick was fantastic. He talked me through it all and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. He is very professional but at the same time he makes you feel like you are hanging out with a friend so you begin to relax and be yourself, resulting in very natural looking photos which capture your strength and personality. I highly recommend him.

Nick makes great photos and I enjoyed being in his studio. I live in Denmark and selected Nick after having looked at his portfolio and videos. It was no problem to arrange payments and organize the appointment, so I could do the photo session during one of my London visits.

I can’t recommend Nick too highly. My debut novel is about to be submitted to publishers and I needed headshots for the webpage I’m setting up, for my agent’s website and for publishers. I have very few good photos of myself and always just assumed I was unphotogenic. Not only did Nick take dozens of excellent shots, he also gave me invaluable guidance about the whole process. And he was unfailingly helpful and courteous about my frequent (and often repeated) questions. Thanks Nick!

I'm a counsellor an needed photos to use on various online directories as well as on my website. On these directories the photo is in effect the shop window and will determine if a potential client will "click" to read more and therefore maybe make an enquiry. So the photo is important and it is also important that I look in the photo how a client would find me as they sit down in a session. Nick really understood this. He has a relaxed and casual approach which makes it easy to relax and at the same time he clearly knows what he is doing - is very professional - so a trust in the process is established. Professional photos are not necessarily cheap but they are an investment in your business - for me an important investment. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone. I got the photos in different formats and sizes as each of the online directories have different requirements so exactly what I needed. Thanks Nick!

I am really happy with the experience on the day of the shoot and client help and advice that Nick Gregan provides afterwards. Nick was really approachable, helpful and honest. I wasn't disappointed the previous time and this was my reason for having my new set of headshots done by Nick. Thank you so much Nick. I can't thank you enough. God Bless.

Nick took photos of my 2 young children for Spotlight and it was a great success. Firstly the pictures he took were great but also he was great with the kids and made them feel relaxed and happy during the shoot. He even managed to capture them together - not an easy feat! The kids agent was really happy with the pictures and I recommend Nick highly to anyone.

Lucinda Rhodes

I have been an actress for 20 years and used Nick Gregan for most if not all of my head shots. He is highly skilled and extremely professional. His images are classy and he works with the artist to get the best images he can to suit what the individual needs and the particular roles they may go for. I can’t reccomend him enough.

I graduated from drama school two years ago and needed to update my previous headshots. I decided to book with Nick because of his vast experience and feedback I had received from other actors. He made me feel very comfortable and his knowledge allowed him to guide me through the session whilst still ensuring I felt in control and achieved what I wanted. I would definitely recommend Nick and will be using him in the future.

I always go to Nick for my headshots. He knows exactly what he is doing, exactly how to get the best out of you and exactly what is needed to sell you most effectively. He is totally professional, imaginative and creative. He is also a lovely man - so the sessions are fun and he gives such clear direction that all seems easy. Deffo a five star photographer.

I'm an actor who doesn't consider myself to be particularly good at having my photo taken, so I tend to dread the experience of having new headshots done. I had a session with Nick on Monday and I have to say that it was one of the best experiences I've had when having new headshots done! Nick was very friendly and put me at ease in front of the camera, constantly laughing and joking around which really helped with my nerves. The session was a lot of fun and I was rewarded with some fantastic new headshots that reflect Nick's enthusiasm and talent for what he does- Honestly, it takes a lot to make me look good in a photo and Nick did just that. If you're looking for new headshots etc, I couldn't reccommend Nick highly enough!

Nick was recommended to me when my two children started with an acting agency & needed some headshots. When I first called to enquire about a photo session , I explained that this was all new to us & Nick was so helpful in explaining what was involved & what to bring along. Upon arrival the set up was very professional - even with a little changing room. He was so patient, directing & even demonstrating poses my children to try to do. He took lots of photo's & as he was able to put my children so at ease we got some really fantastic shots. I returned to Nick this year to update their headshots & to do some additional modelling shots & again I can't fault the service Nick provided & I very much hope to use him again in the future. Thank you

I was looking to book my yearly session with Nick and noticed a 1 star review.I read this with interest and believe the person used someone else or has no idea what he is talking about.Ive used Nick for 15 years recomended him to friends and family around the world.Never have I had anything except perfection.He works you to give you to get you at your best. If you have zero charisma sadly he can’t add that in a picture but will never retouch and send rubbish.I rented the 4 seasons hotel Trinity square club out for shoots of my friends who did I choose Nick,they were superb my friends were over the moon sending images over we chat and getting rave reviews of his work.So if you want quality Nicks your man.I am also a non exec director of a restaurant chain who do I use for the food,restaurants and team images Nick,so not only headshots a multi skilled photographer.

More Testimonials
”I’ve been lucky enough to attend a couple of the portrait groups Nick runs, and each time they’ve been hugely valuable. Nick is fantastic at really helping you to understand the ‘why’ of a scenario, not just the ‘how’. I found this really important as it’s helped me use the skills in my own photography, and take time to explore different lighting set ups. His groups are fun, super friendly, and most of all collaborative. It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner starting out, or someone who’s has a lot of studio experience….. the groups are run in a way that everyone chats, shares and is treated equally.
I’ve also done a one-to-one session with Nick, where we explored specific styles lighting that I wanted to achieve. We spent time going through various set ups, him quizzing me to ensure that I understood what I was doing, and not just ‘copying’ as such. Understanding is key, and Nick is very good at speaking in layman’s terms and not blinding you with technical jargon! I know if I have any questions, I can approach Nick as he’s always very happy to help out other photographers.
