Hi.

I’m Agatha. I only shoot on 35mm film with natural light and now predominantly work from a studio in Sussex, 55 minutes from London. Occasional central London studio sessions are also available, with an additional studio hire fee.

I worked with film publicity and marketing teams and have shot for Andrea Arnold, Kevin Macdonald, Clio Barnard, Francis Lee, Joanna Hogg, Andrew Haigh, Rufus Norris, Bill Condon, Brady Corbet and Tom Hooper.

During my 10 years in the film industry I have photographed among others: Kate Winslet, Eddie Redmayne, Saoirse Ronan, Ben Whishaw, Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams, Ian McKellen, Laura Linney, Robert Pattinson, Alicia Vikander, Amber Heard, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Tom Courtney, Kaya Scodelario, George MacKay, Fiona Shaw, Olivia Colman and Josh O'Connor.

I decided to stop working with film productions in 2019 but I do miss you - actors and directors - and the conversations with you which I really enjoy. Come for a portrait session and a chat, I’m looking forward to meeting you.

Selected publications of work include: The New York Times, The New Yorker, Der Spiegel, Financial Times, The Guardian, The Observer, The Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times, The Sunday Times, The Independent, The Independent on Sunday, Tatler, Vogue UK, Dazed Digital, Interview, AnOther, Vice, Esquire, Time Out London, Boat Magazine, Huck, Little White Lies, Vogue Japan.

Here’s my IMDb page. And if you’d like to learn more about my work within the film industry I was invited as a guest to the 'Analog Talk’ Podcast and you can listen to the episode here.

My sessions are up to 2h long and we can do as many ‘looks’ (clothes changes) as you wish. I keep it all very nice and simple, hopefully it’ll be the least complicated photo session you’ve ever had. I want you to be comfortable - I work with natural light, analogue cameras and don’t use any big, intimidating photo gear.

Standard headshot session for actors: £650

The fee includes use of a Sussex studio, a minimum of five rolls of 35mm film (£125), as well as darkroom film processing and scanning by the UK's leading photo lab - Bayeux (£175).

All photographs are taken on 35mm film, mainly b&w and a few in colour.

6 high resolution images delivered.

This fee covers actors’ headshots for Spotlight, IMDb, casting profiles, agents and personal promotional use. If you need images for commercial, editorial, press or brand purposes, please get in touch for a separate quote.

Central London studio sessions are available on request, with an additional studio hire fee of £300.

As this is an analogue process, image delivery takes a little longer: the film rolls need to be processed by the photo lab and each image is then professionally scanned and digitised.

After our session, my photo lab will receive the film rolls and within five working days of receiving payment, I’ll send you a link to the pictures I’ve taken of you - I usually shortlist around 100 images. You’ll then pick 6 which you’d like to have in high resolution.

As I shoot on film I do not photoshop images excessively, but your selection will be edited. I’ll adjust the colours, remove the spots etc. Additional images are £55 each. If you feel like you’d like one image to be retouched a bit more I work with a retoucher who offers me a discounted rate of £115 per image.
