Corporate and acting headshot photographer in Lincolnshire


Hi, I’m Andrej – Slovakian born, UK based photographer, passionate about the craft of close-up photography – which, admittedly, may sound scary for many. One of the reasons it can be your advantage – because people often shy away from their close-up – one of the most powerful tools we have when it comes to connecting with others. We are visual beings and we connect with the face of one another the fastest. We’ve learned to read different expressions to gauge if we can trust and rely on people – that’s why the right impression really matters. I’ll be your guide to get you there, making the process a bit more fun than you’d think it would be. So that you can present the best version of yourself in a single frame (or more than one for that matter).

I’m based in Grantham, Lincolnshire

You’re welcome to come to the studio if you’re based close (even if not and you’re from London for example – Grantham is quite accessible and just an hour by train from London King’s Cross).

My set-up is portable so I can travel to you if that’s more convenient – covering Lincoln, Nottingham, Leicester, Peterborough, Cambridge and beyond.

 

 

What I’m always after is change for the better. I will be your guide, helping you craft your external image. I’ll work with you to bring out your best features while minimising uneven and less flattering features.

 

This is when the good stuff starts to happen and with a bit of help, guidance and smart lighting, you’ll look like you do on your good day – and even better. And not just look – you’ll feel better about yourself too.

And by doing so, the resulting image will be representing you the way you need it to, improving your personal brand so that people perceive you as capable, confident, knowing what you’re doing and yet friendly and easy to deal with.

The facial expression and body language are picked upon automatically because we all make an initial judgement (consciously or subconsciously) right or wrong within just seconds of seeing one’s photograph.

Every one of us should make the right first impression. Let me help you with yours.

    Andrej created stunning acting headshots with my daughter. It was so difficult to make the final selection. The session was relaxed and fun. Andrej guided her through the shots with lots of encouragement using his experience to create a portfolio of different and interesting facial expressions that catch the eye. We would thoroughly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

    I had a great experience getting my Actor headshots taken by Andrej. From the first contact he was Professional, helpful and responsive. Andrej knew a huge amount about Headshot photography and had clear and precise direction to help me get the best out of the session and to create the Headshots I needed. He was very easy to be with and helped me to feel relaxed and comfortable. He worked with me right to helping me choose the best final photos for my needs. I fully recommend Andrej for Actor...

    I was quite apprehensive before the photoshoot as I had never experienced one before, but I needn't have worried! Andrej's professionalism showed through when he explained what I should expect during the session and his great sense of humour meant that the whole process was very relaxed. I would happily recommend Andrej to anyone needing a photographer.

    I cannot recommend Andrej enough - he is incredibly talented and a consummate professional. He tailors the photographs to your exact requirements - but improved anything that I could have thought of with his experience and abilities. He makes you feel immediately at your ease and the whole package was enjoyable and productive - I couldn't believe how quickly he captured the images I needed and he was prompt to deliver the final results too. Absolutely brilliant!
