About Me

Hi, I’m Kirill Kozlov. I’ve spent more than twenty years behind the camera, beginning my career in TV and film after completing a BA in Cinematography (Director of Photography). I started out shooting on film, in an environment where understanding light, timing and composition had to be instinctive. That foundation still shapes the way I work today.

Although my main focus now is headshot photography, I continue to take on selected projects as a Director of Photography. Working in both stills and motion keeps my eye sharp and my approach grounded in visual storytelling rather than formulas.

In headshot work, a photograph isn’t just a portrait—it’s a professional tool. It’s often the first thing casting directors and agents see, and it needs to communicate not only who you are but what you can do. A key part of my process is capturing range: the different energies, dynamics and casting types you can authentically embody—whether that’s dramatic, comedic, romantic lead, best friend, or something more nuanced. A good session shouldn’t leave you with one look; it should leave you with a spectrum of possibilities.

Whether you’re beginning your training or already established, I work collaboratively. My process is structured but relaxed, designed to bring out truthful, confident images that reflect how you want to be seen in the industry, while also showing casting directors the breadth of roles you naturally sit in.

I’ve worked with graduates from RADA, Guildhall, LAMDA and other leading drama schools, as well as actors represented by agencies including Curtis Brown, United Agents, and Hamilton Hodell. I understand what the industry expects today and shape your sessions around those expectations.

This isn’t just a profession for me—it’s a craft built on decades of experience across film and photography, and a continued commitment to storytelling. When we work together, my goal is simple: to create images that feel unmistakably you, with the range and clarity that help you move forward.
