Jill Green
Casting Director
“Matt was fantastic - not only a brilliant photographer with a great studio, but he also made the session chilled and fun, despite me not being good at taking directions! He made the whole shoot the best it could have been. Thrilled with the session and the shots! Thanks Matt!”
Luke Dayhill
Actor
“The best headshots I’ve EVER had.
My agent and I absolutely love the shots. One of the things I really loved was that Matt shows you the photos as you go, so you can see the results throughout the shoot and know exactly what you’re getting.
They look like you, they feel like you, and they actually look like the person you’re going to see in the audition room.
Trust me, go with Matt. You won’t regret it.”
Ciara Stothard
Actor
“When Matt Nalton says ‘Trust me, this is gonna be a good shot’... YOU LISTEN!!
As someone who has always been funny about headshots, Matt makes it an absolute breeze. From the word go, the process felt like a perfect collaboration — from outfit choices to poses and angles.
Being able to see the photos as we went was such a blessing. The finer details really do make the world of difference, and Matt has thought of it all.”
Olive Sparrow
Actor
“Matt was super friendly and has the headshot process streamlined to a fine art. It was only an hour session, but it felt like I got well over an hour’s worth of photos - highly efficient but never rushed. Being able to see the photos as we went meant I could give feedback and make decisions throughout the shoot, and the gallery was available before I’d even left the studio. It was definitely worth it!”
Cara Tan
Actor
“If you’re looking for new headshots, I couldn’t recommend Matt enough! Matt creates such a lovely, positive environment that immediately puts you at ease, and it really shows in the photos. He was so encouraging, gave brilliant advice and made sure I felt happy and confident throughout the whole session. I’m over the moon with my final headshots and will definitely be back in the future. Thank you Matt!!!”
Harry Gupta
Actor
“From the moment I arrived, Matt made me feel completely at ease. It honestly felt like hanging out rather than being in front of a camera! What really stood out was how efficient he was without it ever feeling rushed. We got through so many different looks and variations, which made the session feel genuinely worth the time and money. It was such a collaborative experience — Matt really listened to what I liked and made sure I felt confident in what we were creating together. I honestly can’t recommend him enough.”
Sean Stark
Actor
“After doing a lot of research, I came across Matt and loved his work straight away. His headshots feel really individual - he has a knack for bringing out those little details that make someone look like them.
Matt genuinely took the time to understand what we wanted from the session, and on the day it felt like we were working together rather than awkwardly trying to take a good headshot.
The shots completely exceeded what I was hoping for. Genuinely worth every penny. Top bloke and bloody good at what he does.”
Neve Lofthouse
Actor
"From my Clarity Call with Matt, I knew I had picked the perfect photographer for me. The fact that he offers this free service shows how much he cares for his clients. Matt was so patient, listened to my requests and his direction to get the perfect shot makes him a standout headshot photographer. I was brought to tears with how beautiful he made me feel. I cannot recommend Matt Nalton enough. Eternally grateful. xx"
Emyr Lewis
Actor
“Simply put, this man is incredible. I get really nervous when it comes to headshots and have always felt incredibly uncomfortable - Matt changed all that for me! Having the iPad in front of me so I could instantly see the photos and review what I liked, alongside Matt telling me what he thought worked, made the whole process so much easier. Friendly, caring, puts you completely at ease - and just incredible photos. I could not recommend him enough!”
