Casting portfolios and reels for dancers, singers and actors. Directed shot by shot, so the performer in the room is the one they see on the page.
1,000+ performers photographed, including Kimberly Wyatt of The Pussycat Dolls.
“The images I’ve shot with Adam have been a game-changer for my career.”
Agents open submission after submission every morning. They stop on the ones that look like a working performer. The rest get filed as students, even when they are not.
You know what you can do in the room. Your images are telling a different story. They show someone younger, safer and less sure than the person you have become.
That is not rejection. That is being misread. And it is the one thing about your career you can fix in an afternoon.
“He has an incredible eye for movement, finding shapes that truly complement you.”

“…was feeling nervous but as soon as I got in Adam's space, I felt comfortable.”

“You instantly feel comfortable and like you're in confident hands!”

“I've used his images for all my work in the past year… I'm often given great feedback on how the photos read.”

“My favourite video ever!!!”

“I wish you could film everything I choreograph.”

I do this because casting only meets the version of you on the page. I want that version to be you, now. I have shot over 1,000 performers in this room. Some now hold agency contracts, West End credits and cruise leads. Most walked in as nervous as you will be.
The Brazier Studio is a private first-floor space in London E4, on the Weaver line (Overground) from Walthamstow Central or Liverpool Street. Before the camera comes out we plan your looks against the rooms you want to be in. Then every frame is directed, from posing to expression to movement. Music on, no audience, no rush. You see the shots on the back of the camera as we go, and most people stop feeling nervous before the first outfit change, because they can see it working.
The work that leaves here goes in front of agents and casting tables. It reads like you on your best day. Bring a friend, a parent or your agent to any session.

Posing, expression and movement, shot by shot. You see it working on the back of the camera as we go.
You pick the frames that go forward. Each one is hand retouched to casting standard.
No photographer can promise you bookings. Be wary of any who does. What a session gives you is the best possible chance to be seen: a portfolio at the standard agents and casting already work with, covering the looks they actually ask for. The photos' job is to get you in the room. The room is yours.
No. £75 books your date and comes off the total. Then you choose: pay the rest in one go before your shoot, or Shoot Now, Pay Later. That is three payments taken automatically from the card you booked with: the first on your shoot day, the next two a month apart. Interest-free, no credit check, nothing to remember.
Most people book Portfolio Builder: 3 looks, £480. Going for agency submissions and want more range? Agency Set gives you 5 looks for £750. Not sure? Message me what you're going for and I'll tell you straight.
If a job comes in, move your date online. Your first move is free.
A cheaper shoot you never send is the expensive one. You pay once for photos that don't look like you, then again to reshoot. Here every look is planned against the jobs you want, directed frame by frame, and you see it working before you leave.
You see the shots on the back of the camera as we go, so anything that isn't working gets fixed on the day, not after. Then you choose every image that gets retouched. Nothing goes forward that you haven't picked.
Retouched selections land within 7 days of your session, often sooner when you've got a deadline. On The Rebrand, within 3 working days. Tell me the date and I'll work to it.
Everyone thinks they'll be the one who can't do it. You're directed the whole way: posing, expression and movement. The first frames are just warm-ups that never make the final selection. Most people completely relax within the first five minutes, and you can see it working on the back of the camera before the first outfit change.
Bring each outfit for your looks, plus fitted basics in plain colours. Before the day you answer a few short questions and I plan every look around your answers, so nothing is a guess on the day. On The Rebrand we plan it together on a 1:1 styling call instead.
Yes. A parent or guardian can book and pay, and is welcome for the whole session. Shoot Now, Pay Later works the same way.
The Brazier Studio, 490 Larkshall Road, Highams Park, London E4 9HH. A private first-floor space, on the Weaver line (Overground) from Walthamstow Central or Liverpool Street. You're welcome to bring a friend, parent or agent to any session.
Start a free Portfolio Check. Tell me what you're going for and show me your current photos. Within 48 hours you'll know what's working, what to retire, and whether you actually need a shoot. For dancers and musical theatre performers aged 18 and over.
Live dates only. £75 books yours, and it is confirmed by email the moment you book.
If your photos no longer look like you, or you have none yet, booking a session is the right decision.
Your portfolio is your shop window. If the window is wrong, nobody bothers looking inside.
Nobody tells you why a submission went nowhere. They just move on to the next set of images.
said their portfolio had stopped them going for work they wanted. Fewer than 1 in 10 said it never had.
are working from images more than six months old, or have no portfolio at all. Nearly half haven't shot in over a year.
used the word confidence, unprompted, when asked what a portfolio that actually worked would change for them.
352 responses, July 2026. Every figure is counted from the raw answers, not estimated.
We talk through your looks and what casting needs from you, so the plan exists before we start. You'll know exactly what to bring.
Music on, no audience, no rush. Posing, expression and movement are called as we go. You're never left wondering what to do with your hands.
You see the work as we make it. Your full gallery follows, and you choose what goes forward.
Everything you choose is finished by hand, natural and true to how you look in the room. Sized and named to submit the day it lands.
Casting can only respond to what they can see. Show one version of yourself and that is the only job you get considered for.
Ask performers what is wrong with their portfolio and the word that comes back more than any other is personality. Lighting appears in 5% of the answers. Retouching, in none of them.
Most photographers work in one style, so everyone leaves looking the same. I build the look around you instead: your individuality on one side, what the industry expects on the other. Finding that midpoint is the job.
Waiting for a clear month rarely helps, because the castings keep coming either way.
I take a limited number of sessions each month. Once the calendar fills, the next date is next month.
