Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a headshot session cost in Manchester?
Our charge for headshot packages depends on factors such as location, number of people, timings, special requirements, etc. To explore prices, visit our headshot photography page.
What should I wear for my headshot session?
It depends on the image you wish to convey. The photographer will talk that through with you before the shoot. But, in general, choose solid, muted colours that complement your skin tone (avoid busy patterns or bright reds). Pack 2–3 tops. Jackets or collared shirts work great for corporate headshots, while a simple crew-neck tee can feel more relaxed and creative.
How long will my session take?
Individual headshot sessions typically run 30–45 minutes, allowing time for posing changes and quick outfit tweaks. Corporate or group bookings average 10–15 minutes per person on-location.
When will I receive my final images?
You’ll get a private online gallery with proofs within 3–5 business days. Once you’ve chosen your favourites, final retouched headshots are delivered promptly as high-res JPEGs (or in other formats if required).
Can I book an on-location shoot in Manchester city centre?
Absolutely—you can choose iconic backdrops like Deansgate, the Northern Quarter or MediaCityUK. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early to scout exact spots and avoid busy foot traffic.
