# David John Headshots
David John Headshots is a specialist actors' headshot photography business based in Manchester, with an additional studio in central London. The photographer brings genuine industry insight to every session, combining a background in acting with experience working at a casting agency—giving him an understanding of what agents, casting directors and actors actually need from professional headshots.
The business specialises in natural-light, relaxed photography sessions designed to capture authentic images that resonate with casting professionals.

The business also demonstrates commitment to inclusivity through discounted rates for students, under-18s, under-11s, and over-65s, making professional headshots more attainable for emerging talent.
