'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.​
