This is not a traditional showreel

An Actor Portrait Story Film is a short cinematic portrait piece designed to show your presence, voice, movement, and personality.

It is not a self-tape, not a standard showreel, and not a quick social media reel. It is a more personal piece that can sit on your website, social media, Spotlight profile, or creative portfolio — something that gives people a stronger sense of who you are before they meet you.

Presence on screen
Designed to show how you move, speak, pause, and hold attention.
Cinematic direction
Guided throughout, with careful attention to light, framing, mood, and rhythm.

Who I’m looking for

I’m casting London-based actors, performers, musicians, dancers, spoken-word artists, and creatives who are comfortable being photographed, filmed, and recorded.

The right fit

This casting is for actors and performers who want a more cinematic way to present themselves online. You do not need to arrive with a finished script, but you should be comfortable speaking, performing, moving, or being directed on camera.

The strongest fit will be someone with a clear visual presence, a professional attitude, and an interest in creating something more considered than a standard headshot session.

Comfortable on camera
You can speak, perform, or move naturally without needing everything to be heavily scripted.
Available soon
You should be available for a London session within the next few weeks.

What selected actors receive

Selected actors will receive a complimentary portfolio session in London, created specifically to help me build examples for this new Actor Portrait Story Film offer.

Edited portraits
A small curated set of 5–8 professionally edited portraits.
Short cinematic film
One edited portrait film built around your voice, movement, presence, or performance.
Vertical teaser
A short vertical version suitable for Instagram, website, or social media use.
Guided session
Clear direction throughout, so you are not left guessing what to do.

The exchange

This is a complimentary portfolio session, not a paid actor booking.

In exchange for the session and edited deliverables, I’ll need a signed model release and permission to use the final photographs, video footage, audio recordings, behind-the-scenes content, and finished edits on the Photorox website, portfolio, social media, advertising, and marketing.

Please only apply if you are comfortable with public portfolio usage.

Are you comfortable being filmed and recorded?
