Shot By Dotmej

As an actor myself, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to be photographed. You want headshots that are not only beautiful, but ones that truly feel like you.

Ones that capture all the emotions your face can share. All the stories your face will tell.

Shot By Dotmej, is all about communication and comfort. No more worrying about sounding ‘silly’ or being ‘too much’ in front of the photographer.

Trust me, I've been there, I know how it feels. So, you and I, we will chat and explore, and keep working together until we capture the shots that truly represent you!

FAQs

I’ve never had professional photos taken before!

1

Most people I photograph aren’t professional models and you don’t need to be! I know how vulnerable it can feel to have a camera pointed at you, especially when you’re trying to capture something as personal as who you are. My sessions are designed to feel relaxed and collaborative, allowing space for genuine moments to come through naturally. Through gentle guidance, conversation and laughter , we’ll capture images that not only look like you, but feel like you too.


What should I wear?

2

I usually recommend simple outfits with variety of colours, and pieces that feel like you. Once booked, I’m happy to help plan wardrobe options based on the mood, and the type of headshots you’re after.


What makes you different?

3

As both an actor and photographer, I understand the vulnerability of being in front of the camera. I’m less interested in perfectly posed images and more interested in capturing presence, the small expressions, emotion, and energy that make someone feel real on screen. My goal is to create headshots that feel authentic to you and reflect the essence of what you bring to the room before you even walk in.


Can I send you Pinterest boards or inspo?

4

Of course, send it all to me! Before we start shooting, we’ll spend some time chatting about the clothes you’ve brought, any old headshots you’ve had, what you liked about them, and what you’d like to change this time around. This is also the time where we can go through inspiration boards together and discuss any specific requests from your agents.
