“Highly recommend Lily Barnes Photography for acting or commercial headshots. Super relaxed, creative environment and so professional. She really knows how to capture a persons true essence. Really quick turnaround too!"

“I’ve have had a couple of headshots sessions with Lily Barnes Photography now and I couldn’t recommend her more. Not only did she make me feel utterly comfortable but she also provided direction and suggestions for images throughout the session. She’s also not scared about getting involved with hair, make up and clothing choices which all helps use time efficiently and produce great photos.

Even after the session the professionalism continued  with how quickly she sent over the images and edits. 

I have been over the moon with both of my headshot sessions and very much look forward to returning in the future!”

• Actress Billie Hardy

​

“As someone who is not used to being in front of the camera, she was excellent at making me feel confident during the shoot. She tailored it to what I felt comfortable with and got really involved in all aspects of it from look my hair and make up to the backgrounds. She let me have my own input and made the shoot really fun! I’ve never had better photos taken of me!”

• Stage Manager Rose Burston 

​

“I have nothing the highest praise and appreciation for Lily Barnes photography. She manages to capture an authentic and unique essence behind every person who steps before the lens. She is incredibly professional, generous with her time, energy, talent and clearly passionate about what she does. Our session was relaxed and fun resulting in headshots that looked and perhaps more importantly ‘felt’ like me which, I can guarantee, will get you in the room!"

• Actress Lily Catalifo

​

“My session with Lily Barnes Photography was such a comfortable and fun experience. Not only does she take photos with a highly individual style, she make the whole thing super fun and easy and, in a way informative. She chose one image and walked me through the edit to make sure we were both on the same page regarding what we thought the final look should represent. 

I would highly recommend her as a photographer, her friendly and personable approach made the session one of the best I’ve had!”

• Actor and Musician Will Kinnon

​

"I 100% recommend Lily Barnes photography. Some of my favourite head shots have been from her and I have been back twice to update my portfolio because I know her service will deliver some fabulous head and body shots.

She makes you feel extremely relaxed and takes time to ensure you get the right shots and correct looks for different characters and agencies. Being an industry professional herself it really helped talking to her and having her opinion on choosing the shots to edit. She also made me a cup of tea as we chose and discussed our favourite pictures whilst playing some excellent jazz so I enjoyed the experience as though I was having fun with a friend. I’ll be back for some more this year!"

"It has Taken me 12 years to actually like my headshots and Lily Barnes Photography really knows how to capture personality and character in each actor. I love how she uses both indoors and outside shots using natural light and really makes you feel relaxed.

I recently had my headshots with her and then re coloured my hair for a job. She cleverly edited my hair to fit with my current look and I am so pleased with the results!"
