Matt Jamie
|
Matt works as a photographer and actor and is based in Hammersmith, London. He is married to Kate, a Drama Teacher.
"Working as an actor myself I understand the need to have a portrait which looks like you, that you are comfortable with, and that you can afford. I offer a relaxed, informal shoot which can take as long as you need - from less than an hour to more than 2, whatever is best for you. I do indoor shots or outdoor, or both. You can bring a variety of different clothes, wigs, friends - anything want with you that will help! The most important thing is that you feel happy with the pictures at the end of the shoot"

Spotlight's Tips on Photographs
taken from www.spotlight.com
Photo tips
For the photo-shoot, we recommend that you keep your appearance as neutral as possible. Remember, the casting director wants to see the 'real' you. Wear something simple and avoid props, backgrounds and accessories. Your eyes are the most important features on your face, so make sure they are as visible as possible. Please remember that fair hair on a light background or dark hair on a dark background does not reproduce well.
When you see the final prints, choose the photograph which looks most like you. It might not be the one you like best - but it is really important that casting directors see the most accurate impression possible.
Your book photo should be a clear focused black and white print, apart from presenter photos which should appear in colour.
Finding a photographer
To see different photographic styles, you can visit the Spotlight offices and browse through the photographers' portfolios in our reception area (Matt Jamie Photography has a portfolio there), or look through the Spotlight directories themselves. Spotlight offices are open Monday – Friday, 10.00am - 5.30pm.
