Actors Headshots, Models Portfolios, Events, Wedding photography

Jonathan Eddie, May 2008

This was my first ever professional photo shoot and, as someone who considers himself to be naturally un-photogenic, I approached it with a certain degree of trepidation. Tony's friendly, positive demeanor calmed me immediately, however, and he patiently took the time and effort to find out exactly what it was I was hoping to achieve with my headshots. He then made a few suggestions of his own and we quickly got down to the business of taking photographs.

During the shoot itself, Tony helped me to relax and show the 'real me' by chatting and keeping me entertained. In no time at all I was fully at ease and didn’t feel remotely self-conscious.

It was wonderful that we could regularly pause and check through the results onscreen: this way I could see what changes I could make myself and be able to offer a few further comments on how I would like to see things improve. Tony always listened and made very useful observations of his own.

There was never any clock-watching on Tony's part and he actually went over my allotted time without making any mention of it - in fact, I am quite certain that he would have gone on even longer if I had not been happy with the final results; as it was I was extremely pleased. Instead of ending up with the two or three decent shots that I had hoped for, there were more than fifty!

Within a couple of days my final selection was available to view on the TM Photography and Design website and I was then able to invite my friends, anywhere in the world, to take a look and to offer me their opinions. I paid the small additional fee for the shots to be put onto a disc for future use and Tony digitally touched up one that I had selected and turned it into an individual print as part of the package. The resulting image looks wonderful: the colouring and shading are fantastic and it was cleaned up with incredible care and subtlety.

Comparatively speaking, Tony's service is excellent value for money and I really cannot rate him highly enough. I will not hesitate to recommend TM Photography and Design to any of my friends and colleagues who might want quality pictures taking in the future.
