Gene Gurie in the studio. You might know him from Joan, Brassic, or five years on CBBC's Secret Life of Boys — a face that reads honest on camera and needs almost nothing from me but good light. Photographed in North London.

From quiet intensity to an easy, open smile — one sitter, one session, the whole casting brief covered. Two unhurried hours in good North London light.
Olive on olive — I matched Dallas Jay Hunter's wardrobe to the backdrop so nothing in the frame competes with her face. You might have seen her in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. Soft, even light, a clean reference for casting. Photographed in North London.
One sitter, two worlds. We started dark — earth tones, shadowed light — then opened everything up for a soft daylight look in a plain blue tee. Same face, two ends of the casting spectrum, so there's an option for whichever brief lands next. Photographed in North London.
Solomon Foster in the studio. We went darker for this one — a textured backdrop and harder light for the dramatic end of his casting range. The kind of frame that works for Spotlight and the grittier briefs. Photographed in North London.
One session, a full casting range — I shifted the wardrobe tones and rebuilt the light between setups, so each frame answers a different brief: contained drama at one end, open warmth at the other. Photographed in North London.
A steady, level gaze — I kept the light soft and the backdrop quiet so nothing competes with Harmony Mepham's eyeline. Spotlight Casting-clean, straight to camera. Photographed in North London.
A warm, easy smile in soft natural light — I let Rebecca Gausnell settle into it and kept everything relaxed, the green knit and textured wall holding a quiet, earthy palette. Photographed in North London.
Daniel Swain's fourth session in front of my camera — I kept the light soft and directional to hold the texture in the beard and the calm, settled look that's entirely his own. Photographed in North London.
I took Will Middleton off the tight frame and let him settle — seated, forearms on the knees, hands easy — so the picture reads calm and grounded. Clean light, quiet backdrop. Photographed in North London.
One session, three registers — I moved Michael Akinsulire from a cinematic profile, through a grounded and direct frame, to an open warm smile, shifting the light and the ground each time. A full casting range in a single sitting. Photographed in North London.
Early in a career, the camera can feel like an examiner. My job is to make it a bystander — we sat her over the back of an old bentwood chair and talked until the smile stopped asking permission. That unforced ease is what casting believes. Photographed in North London.
Four characters, one afternoon — and she moved between them without a gear ever showing. The one who asks the questions, the one from another century, the best friend with the good playlist, and a neutral frame that keeps every door open. Wardrobe and light did the rest. Photographed in North London.
Four sessions in, Jamie Nichols still does what magicians do — decides where you look. He trained in magic to play Houdini on tour, and the magic outlasted the run. In front of the lens that command of attention needs no trick: the gaze alone carries the frame. Photographed in North London.
