Hi, I’m Kirill Kozlov.

I’m a London-based headshot photographer and Director of Photography with over 25 years behind the camera.

I began my career in TV and film after completing my BA in Cinematography. My early years were spent shooting on film—an environment where understanding light, timing, and composition had to be pure instinct. That foundation is exactly what shapes my work today. While headshots are my primary focus, I still take on select projects as a DoP. Moving between stills and motion keeps my eye sharp and keeps my process rooted in actual storytelling, rather than standard photography formulas.

Your Headshot is a Professional Tool

In this industry, a photograph isn’t just a nice portrait. It’s your calling card. It’s often the very first thing casting directors and agents see, and it needs to communicate exactly what you can do.

A massive part of my process is capturing range. A good session shouldn’t leave you with just one look. We need to find the different energies, dynamics, and casting brackets you can authentically embody—whether that’s the dramatic lead, the best friend, the romantic interest, or something much more nuanced. You should walk away with a true spectrum of possibilities.

How We Work

Whether you’re just beginning your training or you're an established working actor, my process is completely collaborative.

The sessions are structured but relaxed. I direct you enough so you never feel lost, but give you the space to bring out truthful, confident images. The goal is to reflect exactly how you want to be seen in the industry, while showing casting directors the true breadth of roles you naturally sit in.

Industry Trusted

I understand what the industry expects right now, and I shape every session around those expectations. I regularly work with graduates from RADA, Guildhall, LAMDA, and many other leading drama schools, as well as actors represented by agencies including Curtis Brown, United Agents, Hamilton Hodell, and many more.

Photography isn’t just a job for me; it’s a craft built on decades of experience. When we work together, my goal is simple: to create images that feel unmistakably you, with the clarity and range that actually help you move your career forward.
