"If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade."

It all begins with a choice! Maybe you want to work on a self-tape with someone new. Forget your phone, maybe you want to get in front of an actual camera and mic. Or maybe you want to show off your best self to the casting director. Whatever it is, the way you show up to an audition, prepped and ready to play, is how you should turn up to a tape! - 1 camera, standard setup. 2 camera setup for an extra £15. Your tape will be edited whilst you’re there and sent home with you.

NOTE: This is for self-tapes not Spotlight updates.

The hour includes the time taken to edit.

Need a little extra time? Don’t want to stress about rushing for the take, this is your vibe. We’ll work through the scenes and ask questions about who your version of that character is and then shoot. £70 - 1 camera, standard setup. 2 camera setup for an extra £15.

NOTE: This is for self-tapes not Spotlight updates.

The 1.5 hours includes the time to edit.

Okay, so you’ve got a recall tape. You’ve been sent 2/3 scenes, each 4-5 pages of wordy dialogue… let’s enjoy these next two hours and really work the scene. Let’s play and not rush! Always a 2 camera setup.

NOTE: This is for self-tapes not Spotlight updates.

The 2 hour session includes the time to edit.

Do you need a bit of an update to your spotlight? Need something fresh or maybe you want to show off your best self whilst reacting to someone? Then come on in and let’s play! We’ll have you zinging on that screen in no time! The package includes bespoke and specific direction for you as an actor; it will always be filmed on 2 cameras and edited/sent on the day you film it. Unlike the self-tape package, the edit is NOT done in the session; meaning you have more time to play and sparkle! Usually it’s a scene and a monologue or two contrasting monologues for 1 hour, and an extra scene or monologue for 2 hours. Alternatively, just bring the one monologue/scene and focus on exploring that fully.

If you’d like something written especially for you, we charge an extra £50 per monologue/scene.

Please message me through the ‘Contact Me’ page and make sure to mention which package you’re keen to explore.

For self-tapes I work mainly out of hours, so from 5pm-9pm on weekdays and at any time on weekends. Let me know when you need your tape by and what dates/times would work for you.

AKSHAY KHANNA: “Once my agent saw the self tape I’d done with East Photography, he told me to never do self tapes with anyone else! And I strongly agree with his assessment. Her calm, amiable direction elevated my performance and her fantastic equipment pushed the self-tape into near Netflix quality. If you want to book an acting job, your best shot is with East Photography”

JULIA JOCH: "The shoot with Charlotte was so incredibly efficient and smooth. In just one hour, we went from talking about the vision to having the finished product in my hands. Charlotte took me along every step of the creative process, all while being her joyous self."

BEC LEWIS: “East photography got the recipe for a good tape perfected; I felt at ease and confident immediately. Knowing I had the support of not just a director that knew how to get the best out of a performance but also a professional setup that kept the focus on the acting. Would recommend to anyone needing something which showcases your talent and empowers you as an actor.”

ALEXANDER MUSHORE: “I’ve worked with Charlotte a couple times now and I’m excited to go back again. It’s so rare to have a photographer and now self-tape service that understands how to create a space/environment that brings the best out of an actor and Charlotte has just this! She instantly puts you at ease in her lovely studio with a discovery chat before you get going. Then when you do, whether it’s headshots or a self tape, she holds the space for you to do your best work and steps in with thoughtful direction that empowers you as the actor. Having been in the industry for some years she has an incredible eye. I can’t recommend her highly enough!“
