Photo service FAQs for Tower Hill customers
What is involved when you photograph professional actors’ headshots, and do I need to book in advance?
The process starts with checking the material and the result you need. Actors’ headshots should look natural, current and suitable for casting use. We discuss clothing and intended roles before your actors’ headshot session. Studio photography should be booked so the right amount of time and preparation can be reserved. Where several choices exist, we explain the trade-offs clearly.
Do you turn a favourite photograph into a canvas print, and can several files or sizes share one order?
We offer this service and can explain the practical options. Canvas works best from a clear, high-resolution image with enough space near the edges for wrapping. View our canvas printing options before ordering. Several clearly named files and print sizes can normally be included in the same order. A short description and the approximate quantity help us give useful guidance.
