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.

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.

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.

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.
