London's leading headshot photographer
Welcome to my site. I photograph more actors headshots in London for the theatrical industry than any other photographer. In addition to actors headshots I also photograph children for most of the leading theatrical schools, I shoot dance portfolios and musicians. Please read my thoughts about the casting shot here and explore my portfolios. If you wish to book a session you can now do so online.
How important is your casting shot?
Your casting shot is the single most important factor in getting you into the right casting. How important? One agent replied "How important is oxygen to the human race".When I asked agents whether they could get their client into an audition without a decent picture one replied "not if they weren't a name" another said "Imposssible!". A good casting shot hopes to get you through the first stage of the audition process. The consensus of opinion was that without a decent headshot your chances of getting into the right casting are negligible. A casting shot should be changed at least every 2 years.

- I had a John Clark Headshot taken at my college at the start of my final year. I feel that my favourite photo played a major part in me being seen for many West End auditions and finally landing a place in the UK Tour of Beauty and the Beast. Thank You John! David Allwood
- I just wanted to say a big thank you for my new headshots. I've just been to see a new agent today after a long break from acting, she loved them and she's taken me on! I know that my photographs played a massive part. You were great at helping me get the right shot and I'll let you know how I get on. Thank you so much........Charlotte Claypole
- You have done it again!!!!!!!!! You have really brought out aspects of Hannah’s personality and natural beauty. She looks great – really natural and comfortable and VERY castable!!!! So thrilled! You always make my job a little easier to do!!!......Zoe Traves Agent
- Hi John, I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for my new headshots. I'm really pleased with them and unless it's a huge coincidence I think they have already made a difference. I put my new picture onto Spotlight at 11.30pm on Monday night. Yesterday I got a casting for a small role in Eastenders and today I auditioned and just found out I got it. It was my new headshot that they had on the CV in front of them so I'm positive this played a big part in getting me seen. I will recommend you to all my friends. Many thanks again Sophie Ladds
- I have to say, after having taken pictures with John Clark, I have been invited to lots of auditions and got lots of parts, in films and theatre, and I look forward to much more! Please note, before those pictures, sadly, I was not getting any work at all! Really, thank you very much to his extraordinary and professional work which is worth every single penny you spend....Paola Berta
- My agent loves the new headshot and I've had lots of good feedback on it. After trying to get seen for TV for years my new pic went on spotlight and the next day my agent had a call from the BBC and I got my first telly! -Romy Tennant
