first, A bit about me

 

Hey, welcome, I'm glad you wanna know more about me! I'm Jake and I hope you've noticed that I'm a headshot photographer.


I'm from a working class background (the ends of Leeds) and I feel very privileged to do what I do for a living.


Before I became a photographer, I was a performer myself. I know what it’s like to stand in front of the camera, hoping for a shot that truly represents you - I used to find it so stressful, so I created the most relaxed and safest space possible. I also spent time as an agent, giving me insight into what casting directors and industry professionals look for in a headshot. Having experienced this industry from so many different sides, I know exactly how to capture a headshot that works.

Why Me?

 

Your Career, Your Image - Done Right

I understand that your headshot isn’t just for today - it’s an investment in your future. I take that responsibility seriously, ensuring that you will leave with images you're proud to send out into the world. I am a person running a business, not a big scary corporate company - you will never feel like you're on a conveyor belt being rushed in and out of my studio. I genuinely wanna hear your story and capture all the different sides of you (literally and figuratively)!

Editing King

I personally handle all retouching - one image at a time. Unlike many headshot photographers and companies that outsource edits, I dedicate the time to carefully refine every photo myself, creating high-quality yet natural-looking results. My goal is always to ensure you look like yourself - just on your very best day. The connection we build in the studio should naturally continue into the editing process. Editing is personal, and everyone has different preferences - so your photographer is your editor (spoiler: it’s me!).

Flexible Payment Options

Coming from a working-class background myself, I understand that investing in something like professional headshots can feel daunting. I believe financial constraints shouldn't mean compromising on quality or adding unnecessary stress. That’s why I offer flexible payment plans through Clearpay & Klarna, giving you straightforward options to make investing in your headshots easier and more accessible.
