'Really acting'

I'm Matt, I'm a PT and I'm an actor! I trained at LAMDA and graduated in 2014. I've combined my passions for photography, fitness, and acting into The Headshot Gym. 

​

Headshots are an actor's store front, and as an actor myself, I know how important it is to have a headshot that stands out from the crowd. This is what I strive to achieve for you, my clients; authentic, casting-confident headshots that showcase the 'best version of you'. I want you to be noticed by casting directors and get in that audition room feeling confident and leading-role-ready. 

​

As a headshot photographer, I wanted to stand out from the crowd, and do something a bit different. 

​

One evening I sat on the floor of my studio / gym after a particularly brutal workout and the idea hit me - What do I do when I want new headshots? I go on a diet and exercise regimen. I do exactly the same before a contract for screen or stage. Why don't I combine my fitness and diet plans as a personal trainer into a programme to help other actors?!

 

I'm Matt Canny, I take Photos of the Best Version of You.​
