'Should I smile with teeth?' comes up in nearly every headshot session. There's a real answer, and it's not a universal rule - it depends on industry, on the platform it's for, and on which version is actually genuine on your face.

What actually makes a smile look real has nothing to do with teeth - it's the eyes. Full piece on the blog.

One photographer can only be in one place. During the ceremony, if the lens is on the couple, the guests' reactions - a parent wiping away tears, a best man's face during the vows - are happening somewhere it isn't pointed.

A second shooter isn't an upsell, it's coverage that isn't limited by physics. Full breakdown on the blog.

"Can you just get some natural shots, nothing posed?" is one of the most common requests I hear - and the photos that read as effortless are almost always the result of more direction, not less.

Left completely alone, most people stand square-on, arms straight, weight even - a normal way to stand and an unflattering way to be photographed. Full piece on the paradox on the blog.

Golden hour has become shorthand for 'good wedding light' - couples sometimes build their whole timeline around chasing it. It genuinely looks lovely, but it isn't the only good light of the day.

Open shade and even an overcast sky can be just as flattering, at almost any hour. Full piece on what actually matters on the blog.

A ten-person team photo isn't twice as hard as a five-person one - it's considerably more, and it's simple maths. Every extra person is another chance someone blinks, fidgets or half-turns in that exact frame.

A team of ten might genuinely need 15-25 frames to land the one where everyone's eyes are open. Full breakdown (plus the trick that actually helps) on the blog.

Camera gear comes up more than almost any other question I get asked. It matters, up to a point - but it stops being the deciding factor a long time before people expect.

A relaxed subject photographed on a decent camera consistently beats a tense subject photographed on an exceptional one. Trust does more work than equipment. Full piece on the blog.

The photo everyone ends up loving from a session is rarely the posed one. It's the one a beat later - the laugh that slips out right after, the moment you relax before you realise the shutter's still going.

There's a real reason for it: a held smile uses different muscles to a genuine one, and it shows. Full explanation on the blog.

What should you actually wear for a headshot session? It's the question I get asked more than any other before a shoot.

Solid colours over patterns (fine stripes can shimmer oddly under studio light), a top that contrasts with the backdrop rather than matching it, and above all - comfort. Tension in a collar shows up in your face before you even notice it yourself.

Some subjects only make sense from above. A building's roofline, the scale of a venue's grounds, a familiar landmark seen from a completely different angle – a look back at recent drone work across Liverpool.

Getting a whole team's headshots done on the same day sounds simple. What actually makes it run smoothly isn't the photography – it's the scheduling.
