Actor and Celebrity Portrait Photography

Actor and Celebrity Portrait Photography by Colin Hawkins

My distinctive portrait photography serves a diverse range of clients, from actors to celebrities and professionals across various industries.

Capturing Authentic Portraits Full of Personality

My portrait photography is about creating images that don’t just look great but also feel like a true reflection of who the person is by bringing out each person’s unique character so the final image feels authentic, memorable, and uniquely “them.”

Actor Headshot Sessions

During my actor headshot sessions at Hawkeye Studio, I ensure that actors feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. I collaborate closely with each client to create headshots that accurately reflect their style, type, and personality. I take pride in capturing natural expressions and features, highlighting each actor’s individual character.

Capturing Celebrities and Artists on Location

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph many celebrities, well-known artists, and musicians for editorials and promotional campaigns. These shoots often happen on location, with tight schedules or limited access, so careful planning and coordination are key. I’m always flexible and ready to work efficiently, making the most of each location to add depth and character to the portraits.

I often find that clients need clean, classic studio portraits with a simple white or grey background and I’m equally comfortable shooting portraits with this clean lighting style or shooting with more dramatic lighting and a much darker feel.

"Colin is a phenomenal photographer….he could not have made me feel more comfortable. Throughout the shoot, he remained conscious of my artistic visions and captured them perfectly, whilst gently directing me throughout the process.“
