ABOUT ME
I'm Andy Katsaitis, headshot and portrait photographer.
Family man, one beautiful wife, two beautiful kids, one (old) dog.
Related to the late, great Duncan Edwards.
Find me here at home (with the camera), at the gym or at Villa Park.
WHERE ARE YA?
I shoot from my home in Tamworth, Staffordshire.
I'm located about a mile from Tamworth railway station. I'd be happy to pick you up and drop you off there if you are arriving by train.
HOW DO I BOOK?
Drop me a message using my contact form or via WhatsApp to arrange a date.
WHAT'S YOUR STYLE?
Honest.
Everyone is interesting.
I'm looking for something that will make you stand out. Tell your story.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Anything you like!
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Every actor has a headshot in a black t-shirt. We can do better than that.
Actors headshots are far more interesting and creative thesedays.
Bring plenty of options, a splash of colour, patterns, a retro football shirt, whatever makes you....YOU!
We can of course do some shots with neutral colours too, if you prefer.
The point is, bring plenty of options and we can see what works the best for you in your headshots.
If you're wanting to extend to some more editorial portraiture options (these look great on an acting portfolio by the way) then consider outfits that have full-length pictures in mind.
For business, Linkedin branding headshots then a professional look may be more suitable but again it depends entirely on how you wish to present yourself to the world.
CAN I BRING MY MUM/PARTNER/FRIEND WITH ME?
I'd rather you didn't.
This is my home and my family live here.
Another presence is distracting for me and it's distracting for you.
If they absolutely do have to come, I will ask them to sit and watch telly in the next room.
I work 1 to 1 with all of my subjects to achieve the results that you can see here.
HOW LONG IS A SESSION?
Usually about 2-3 hours.
This gives us plenty of time to relax, shoot and review lots of images and to incorporate multiple outfit/backdrop changes.
The most important thing is that you come away with headshots that you love so we take our time.
SO THE SESSIONS ARE UNLIMITED?
Yes, within reason. I only book one session per day, so we can relax, take our time, drink coffee, chat about football, music, surrealist art..........whichever's your poison!
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
A warm, friendly, relaxed headshot session and great pictures.
Tea, coffee, biscuits, music to focus the mood, the dog snoring and of course, a nice chat.
My undivided attention for the duration of our shoot.
A great experience.
A new friend.
Yes!
HOW ARE IMAGES DELIVERED?
Retouched images are delivered digitally via WeTransfer in the form of an email with a download link.
DO I NEED PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS?
Uncle Bill has a new DSLR and mum has the latest iPhone maybe they could do my headshots?
There's so much more to it than just clicking a button.
Portrait photography is a craft learned over time and it's not really about the gear you use.
Getting a professional headshot shows the world that you take your brand seriously.
SHOULD I GET A SPRAY TAN BEFOREHAND?
No.
It's not Strictly Come Dancing!
