Davey's Actor Headshots
A current set for agency submissions and casting profiles
Who
Davey Jones is an actor with a growing list of screen credits across both television and film. His work includes The Crown, Beyond Paradise, Casualty and The White Princess, alongside features such as Dunkirk, Darkest Hour, Overlord and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. He has also appeared in The Tale of Thomas Burberry and more recently The Roses. His full credit list is on IMDb.
Why
It had been a few years since Davey's last set of headshots, and he did not want to drift along with an out-of-date profile. He knows how much a strong image set matters when you are being put forward for roles, so he was ready to treat this as part of his job.
The brief was simple: create a current, agency-ready set that reflects who Davey is now, with enough variety for different submissions without turning into a costume parade. Clean styling, calm expressions, and images that let casting focus on him. He needed a lead image that feels direct and present, plus a few variations that open up different reads without losing consistency. That is the sweet spot for agency submissions.
How
The session took place near Exeter (close to Honiton and Cullompton). We kept the styling straightforward and the backgrounds clean, then worked through small shifts in energy. A more open, friendly feel for lighter briefs. A more contained option for drama. And a couple that sit neatly between the two, because real casting is not always one extreme or the other.
Davey's strength is that he can move between different tones without forcing it. On camera, those changes are usually subtle: a softer focus, a firmer gaze, a quieter mouth, a slightly different posture. Rather than pushing for big "acting" moments, we kept it grounded and truthful. The result is a set that shows breadth while still reading as one person, which is exactly what you want when a casting team is flicking through submissions quickly.
Result
Davey left with a small, purposeful set of headshots that feel current and consistent. One strong lead image, then a handful of options with different energy, so his agent can match the right photo to the right brief without second-guessing it. They are ready for agencies and profile use, and they show him as he is now.
That is the point of a refresh like this. Not just new photos, but a clear signal that you are showing up properly for the work you want next.
"What a fantastic shoot, a true professional from start to finish, the best headshot experience yet, perfection for casting agents!"
