Reviews of Nicholas Dawkes Photography
m. a.This shoot and the photographer were just amazing! From the off set, I felt extremely comfortable and didn't feel any pressure to get that perfect shot. Since having my headshots done, I have landed my first West End job, making my debut in Waitress. I would highly recommend Nicholas to anyone wanting new headshots that are a true reflection of their personality. I don't know how he does it but this guy works wonders with the camera!
C. D.I have no end of compliments about my headshots from Nicholas Dawkes! They have really helped me as a performer, speaker and coach to promote myself and my business. Nicholas made me feel very relaxed and I loved having Baxter the dog around! I got plenty of shots out of the session, more than I have even used yet, so I thought it was great value and a really wonderful experience. I've recommended him many times over already.
J. A.Fantastic photographer. Best headshots I've ever had. Booked in again March 2020 to update my spotlight main photos. Nicholas has a great eye for detail and is brilliant to work with knowing what us actors need. It's a great studio with lots of options and variety. A place to change, do hair and makeup if necessary and is just a really easy shoot. Highly recommended.

N. H.Nicholas Dawkes is the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Whenever anyone is after new headshots then I never hesitate to recommend him. He’s so much fun and manages to get the best out of you. You’ll dance, you’ll laugh and you’ll be joined by his partner in crime Baxter the Border Terrier. Official good boy. If you need shots for specific casting, Nick will find the way to make the picture perfect. I’ll never go to anyone else for new headshots.
S. H.I have used many good photographers in my time as an actor and I have to say that Nicholas Dawkes is by far the best!
I recommend him highly!! He is such a great guy. He is super chilled and makes you feel relaxed and at ease.
He is fun and brings the best out of you. His studio has everything, lighting, music for mood and all sorts of bits and pieces that get the right shading and light to make your headshots actually look like YOU.
It’s so important to make sure your headshots show your casting type off as best as possible.
In my opinion he is the best in the business and I’ll always go back to him.
Also he has a dog that is a good boy!!
M. O.Absolutely top of his game - my shoot with Nicholas was the best one I have had to date, and that's 14+ years of having head shots! Relaxed, fun and Nicholas zoned in on the crucial element - understanding me, and what I needed to achieve from the shoot. My head shots got results - within days of receiving them the auditions were coming in, so proof is right there in the pudding - if you want results, book with Nic!
C. M. W.Absolutely loved my shoot with Nicholas! Great quality pictures, really professional and relaxed environment. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get some new photos, headshots and update their portfolio.
M. P.Top photographer, really comfortable shoot and loads of time given to get the right looks. Nicholas is a really good laugh and will guide you every step of the way and keep you relaxed, he'll even pop on some music to get you in the mood, for example the Broadchurch soundtrack if you're going for a grittier look, so it ends up as a fun acting exercise too.
Highly recommend, he'll make your face do this...
J. B.Nicholas is a brilliant photographer and will capture your best to showcase the full range of your casting. I had a really enjoyable and relaxing session and was delighted with the multitude of amazing and varying options to choose from - it was a really hard task to whittle my selections down to just 4/5 for spotlight. Highly recommended.
L.From the moment I walked in Nick made me feel right at home. He has a great ability to use different lighting, angles, and clothing options to get the best shots for you, while remaining relaxed and playful so that it never feels like 'work'. The 2 and a half hours absolutely flew by. Would fully recommend to anyone seeking new fresh shots!
L. D.Had a brilliant time shooting with Nicholas. The advice on his website really helped me prepare, and it was apparent he had done good prep too to help me find my casting type. He was very welcoming and made me feel at ease. The lighting in his studio was stunning, he gave good direction to make the shots characterful and I was super happy with the results. Would whole-heartedly recommend!
A. R.Nicholas is brilliant at instantly putting you at ease. I, like many people, hate having my photo taken, but I actually had a really fun, relaxed afternoon. Nicholas is warm, friendly and has a great sense of humour, and the resulting photos show how comfortable I felt during our session. I will definitely choose Nicholas for future photos and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to other people.
F. T.Nicholas is an absolute pleasure to work with. Really tailored chat about what your casting is and an outstanding studio which serves his photography really well. During the shoot He can also turn on some background music which really helps dropping in whatever mood needed to take the perfect shot! Amazing.
L. S.I will never go anywhere other than Nicholas Dawkes Photography for my headshots. First, Nick's work is just fantastic, and you'll be amazed at the range of looks you come out of the session with. For another, he has a way of making you feel entirely relaxed throughout the session, and is incredibly professional. On top of all that, he's knowledgeable about the industry, and honest about where you fit into it. And of course, there's Baxter, Nick's delightful studio dog, who is more than happy to sit in your lap for cuddles while you review your photos and enjoy a cup of tea.
Book your next headshot session with Nick; you won't regret it.
C. S.I've been an actor for over twenty years and Nick did the best photos I've ever had done. He really puts you at ease. The final pics looked amazing and I had at least six really different vibes on them all. He uses shadow, clever lighting and his never ending enthusiasm to help get you a great range of casting pics.
A. W.Nicholas is the real deal for great headshots. I always recommend to other actors and always keep coming back myself when I need updated pics. His initial pre shoot consultation is worth it's weight in gold. His stoic personal assistant Baxter is also an absolute legend.
J. L.Nic is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best headshot photographer I have ever used, and the only one to whom I have returned for fresh shots. He is friendly and fun, and above all, professional - just as a small example, there is a proper changing room and mirror, not just a loo! He understands me and my work, and how I want to represent myself, and manages to get that all into a neat range of shots. I have no hesitation in giving him FIVE STARS.
J. J.Nic is wonderful to work with! He creates a great atmosphere - relaxed and lots of fun - to get the best out of the session. Casting is a key consideration for him so the result is fantastic headshots that are also tailored to work for you. I would highly recommend!!!
J. H.Nicholas Fawkes is a truly talented photographer who, whilst preserving the truth of the artist's appearance, presents them at their very best.
He's a great guy, who puts you at your ease straight away, whilst knowing exactly what he wants and, ultimately, what his subject needs.
His feed are more than reasonable as well. You can't lose. Highly recommended.

Actor.
R. N.As a graduate from drama school, being in quite a vulnerable place and starting to face the industry head on, Nic was a tonic and total refresher. His attitude to getting the best shots that look like the best version of you was infectious in the room which made the whole experience really relaxing and enjoyable!
He’s helpful with choosing your final shots and reliable at getting them back to you quickly. Nic provides a brilliant service and really classy headshots.
A. L.I'm one of those actors who put off their headshots for far too long because I just hate having my picture taken. Nick was super helpful with the career focus chat, incredibly clear on casting ideas, & brought all of this into a warm & friendly shoot that resulted in fab pics. There was also a wonder dog called Baxter & I can honestly say I enjoyed my headshots, possibly for the first time in nearly 20 years!
S. M.I had two shoots with Nic and really enjoyed both. He made me feel really at ease and we had a great laugh while getting the shots I wanted. The quality of shots and extra care Nic goes to make him a very solid choice for photographer. Definitely recommend.
N. S.Nicholas provided one of the most comfortable shoots I've ever experienced. He is affable, courteous, attentive and extremely competent, so as to know what poses, styling & clothing are going to work to your best advantage. Would never consider anyone else in London again!
C. C.I cannot recommend Nicholas Dawkes enough - from start to finish the whole experience of getting headshots was amazing. It was fun, casual and easygoing.
I'm still struggling to choose my favourite photos as they all came out brilliantly, which I think is testament to his skill as I sometimes feel awkward in front of a camera.
Couldn't be more pleased with the outcome!
N. R.Nicholas has a real knack of making you feel relaxed and confident and in control of your headshots. I had always dreaded headshots and was never 100% happy with previous ones. Nicholas has done the most amazing headshots ever and I would never go anywhere else now. Amazing beyond believe. His attention to detail and support is unmeasurable. Thank you.
C. H.I had the best time shooting with Nic and then had great head shots as a result! Nic took my first headshots for me just before graduating from my training and managed to get a great range of looks. He really helped me to think about different characters and created such a relaxing/enjoyable enviroment!
C. C.Nic is such an incredible photographer and person. Brilliantly professional, fantastically easy to get along with, makes your feel wonderfully comfortable from the moment you walk in the room and makes you really get the best out of your time in front of the camera. Captures a range of captivating characters and shots with variety to chose from in the end, making him also great value for money. Definitely worth the investment! Thanks Nic!
A. T.Had an amazing session with Nic. He put me at ease and captured me at my best. Took the time to get to know me and my casting type, as a result I walked out of there with photos that show great range. It was very hard to choose just 4! Definitely recommend working with him.
K. L.Nicholas' testimonial is in his shots. I have worked with him on numerous occasions now, and will continue to recommend him as one of the best headshot photographers in the country. He captures personality, and seeks the story behind the eyes in his shots, which results in naturally engaging and captivating photos. The online area for his website is user-friendly, booking is quick and easy, and there are resources there to help you prepare to get your best looks ready. He also gives tips and directions that have helped me in future shoots I've undertaken. Bottom line: I've booked more jobs, thanks to his shots. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
T. N.Nic is such a brilliant photographer; the atmosphere he creates is always so fun and relaxed, and he just instinctively seems to know how to bring the best out of you. Couldn’t recommend him more highly. Also Baxter is an exceptional dog, and snuggling him is included!
M. C.I am one of those actors who usually hates having headshots taken. I find it really hard to be myself, looking like me on a good day... Nicholas made me feel really comfortable and the session was most enjoyable. And I am delighted with the results. I’ll definitely be back...
I. M.Nic is an extremely affable and patient photographer that is a joy to be around. He puts you at ease through any shoot, and clearly loves his job. I had photos once with another photographer, and did not enjoy the experience as much, or get such a good result. Pick Nic! 😅
L. E.I always feel a bit awkward when it comes to headshots but Nic was brilliant! He made me feel comfortable, he had music playing throughout the session, I fell in love with Baxter (his dog). The shots were exactly what I wanted/needed. Thank you!
A. G. U.Nicholas is a wonderful photographer, he built a great rapport with me and made me feel very comfortable throughout the photoshoot and communication after the photoshoot went well after I selected my final headshots. The fact that I still have access for another year (2 years total) to my photos is great. He even helped me moved my car on a hill when I was nervous to move it after the session.
S. O.Our Director required a couple of new headshots for our article in The Parliamentary Review and Nic was fantastic.
So relaxed, terrific vibe and fab studio, gorgeous studio Dog Baxter, and Nic really delivered on the brief.
Nic understands the industry, whether you are an actor or a personality, he works with you to truly understand your needs and works effortlessly to get the best out of your shoot and to deliver the goods. It’s his passion.
Need a head shot? Nic is your man.
C. C.I had such a great shoot with Nic. He immediately made me feel at ease. The quality of his photo's are beautiful and a super quick turn around. Will definitely be returning for my next set when they're due.
L. I.Nicholas Dawkes shot my headshots last year and they’ve definitely helped me get seen over the last year and a half! Relaxed atmosphere and a cute dog! Highly recommended especially if people don’t like getting their headshots done as Nic brings out your best.
K. D.Couldn't recommend Nicholas highly enough! Absolutely brilliant photographer who has so much knowledge and expertise! SO good in fact it almost makes it virtually impossible to pick the photos I wanted at the end!!!! Incredibly happy with the final results. 100% recommended!!
L. B.The best shoot I've ever had. Not only the brilliant headshots that we got out of it but it was just a quality day out. Nich is a great, great guy that will make you feel at ease as he treats you like a friend. Not just a client. Can't wait to see him again! Could not recommend more!! Look at theseee!
T. F.Where previous headshot photographers I’d booked didn’t really listen to what I wanted and ended up treating me to a cookie- cutter template of a photo shoot, Nic REALLY listened, and the end result were photos that I was thrilled with. He’s a hoot too, and will get you relaxed and at your best in no time.
I’m returning in a couple of months for a headshots update. I highly recommend him.
L. K.Nic Dawkes did an excellent job of putting me at my ease (assisted by Baxter, his dog) and helping me to capture a varied collection of headshots. I have used his services on more than one occasion and have no hesitation in recommending his photography services.
M. F.Recently had a headshot session at Nicholas Dawkes photography. Nic makes the session real relaxed and fun. His dog is awesome and the photos were ACE. Definitely will be going back there for my next set of headshots.
G. G.Nicholas is the best headshot photographer I have worked with, he made the session so comfortable and the finished results were brilliant! I would highly recommend him!
N. C.Nicholas was fantastic, I loved every minute of the experience. He put me at ease, listened to what I needed and delivered with extra. I would recommend to anyone. Really nice having his little dog (Baxter) there as well - makes it a very chilled experience.
C. C.- Incredible studio
- hair and make up area
- huge flat screen viewing area (including all important couch and cookies)
- lovely guy puts you at ease, knows your casting probably better than you do.
- he has a dog and there’s a 95% chance I’d give my life for said dog
- allows you to make the environment your own by choosing music to listen to while headshots are being taken.
- easy to manage website to go through all of the headshots and choose your final edits.
R. M.There is a super skill in getting people to relax in front of a camera. Nic has this skill. Clear direction and lots of humour. Great experience, great value and great outcome. An absolute must for brilliant headshots.
A. B.I had a great shoot with Nicholas at his studio and was delighted with the resulting headshots. I had a stinking cold at the time but Nicholas was very helpful and welcoming and made the morning an enjoyable and productive experience.
J. J.Super personable chap. Makes you feel really relaxed and comfortable, which is ESSENTIAL during a headshot session. Really listens to what you want, and gives great advice on your casting type and how to choose your final shots. Which, by the way, are always excellent.
K. M.Honestly the best actors headshots i've ever had. Nick is awesome, makes you feel so comfortable and really taught me a-lot about my castability. Really, super happy with my new shots!
A. K.Headshot sessions with Nicholas Dawkes are always such a relaxed, fun time. Amazing photographs! I cannot rate him highly enough and of course Baxter the dog always adds to the great experience.
H. L.I had an amazing time with Nicholas Dawkes. Working with him is fun. He is really good at what he is doing and I am really pleased with the headshots that we made! Baxter (the dog) is just incredible! 😊🙏
G. B.Great guy who really knows what he's doing. His different approach was refreshing. In my case, he wanted to "highlight my lines and flaws." I knew what he meant and the shots were amazing. I highly recommend Nicholas and his services.
J. F.Had a blast! lots of fun, Baxter the dog is adorable. great direction direction for the shoot, I never felt like I wasn't sure what to do or what we were getting. Would (and have) recommend. Some of my pics below
C. S.You will never in your life meet a photographer with such professionalism, good mannered humor and skill that can both take fantastic quality head shots and make you feel completely relaxed in the studio. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
T. B.Nick’s headshots have been a breakthrough for me: noticeably more castings as a result. He’s an all round good guy and really strong at suggesting ‘character types’ to strive for as you go through the shoot.
J. D.Could not recommend Nick anymore, he instantly makes you feel comfortable and knows exactly how to get the best shoot out of you. If you’re nervous or anxious about the pressure of getting great headshots Nick will get rid of those feelings the second you walk through the door!
C. R.Can't talk highly enough about my appointment with Nic (and Baxter). At ease from the moment I walked in the door. Great results. Prompt turn around. Looking forward to returning for my next lot of head shots later this year.
I. S.Most enjoyable shoot with Nicholas, he makes the experience so enjoyable and fun, but also captures different moods and therefore you end up with really good and useful headshots.
f.Can’t recommend enough. My first headshots had been a terrible experience so when I needed new headshots I was so nervous. Was recommended Nic and I’m so glad I was. He will get the best out of you and it will be money well spent!!
C. T.Baxter and Nicholas are fantastic to work with - Nicholas takes headshots that feel like me and show off my many faces. I'm so glad he was recommended to me!
F. P. Y. a. P.Nicholas is my favourite headshot photographer. He’s fun , helpful and creative and I’m always super happy with the results.

I can't recommend him highly enough.
N. S.I highly recommend Nicholas Dawkes and both times he’s taken my headshots I’ve had a great experience. Feel totally at ease during the shoot, he listened to what I wanted and always happy with the results!

J. S.I had a lovely all-around experience. Nic was very funny and made me feel comfortable. The photos ended up very professional-looking and exceeded my expectations! Very satisfied!
L. M.Amazing, helps you at being at ease and getting the best results. I’ve been in the business a while, used many big names and this guy smashes in out of the park.
A real grafter he is there to nail the looks you need for the industry. You might be able to get cheaper, however it will cost you in the end. It’s well worth the investment. Good luck
S. L.Incredible!! Nick was amazing. Not only do I love the shots but I loved the experience! Great bloke and I could not have wanted more. Had a great laugh! Cheers Nick!!
L. W.Nic was really great to work with and in twenty plus years of being in the business I can honestly say I have never had as much fun getting my headshot done.

K. D.Nic made the shoot great fun and I was really happy with the photos and I'm pretty picky, having come from a techy background in V.T.
T. R.Look I turned up unprepared, my typical flakey self, on about 5 hours sleep, half an eye open and a t-shirt with a hole in it and Nicholas made me feel so at ease and somehow got 4 decent photos out of me! Hurry up and book already!
