Welcome to Michael Pollard, photographer

With over 25 years of experience, I am a professional, knowledgeable and reputable photographer in Manchester, specialising in actors’ headshots, as well as the photography of artworks and installations for galleries and museums.

I am fortunate to shoot for and be recommended by many of the top actors’ agencies in Manchester, the North West and further afield. I understand that you, the actor, probably don’t look forward to having your photograph taken so I try to make the shoots as relaxed as possible. We’ll talk, almost certainly laugh and, you never know, by the end of the shoot you may even have enjoyed yourself!

Actors’ headshots

I always ensure that I provide a highly personalized service to my clients and tailor the shoots to suit each actor’s needs. So whether you are looking for simple, fresh and engaging shots showing your personality, or something more contemporary or more classical, or a mix of look and type, then I can help you achieve what you require.

I also provide high quality archival photography to galleries, museums, libraries and artists in Manchester and the North West and to arts organisations throughout the UK. I specialise in high-resolution photography of collections and installation photography of exhibitions as well as digital restoration.
