M.A.D Photography is a specialist portrait studio based in Enfield Lock, led by Mark Davis. With over 25 years’ experience working with actors, theatre schools and young performers, Mark has built a reputation for portraits that do far more than look good — they get noticed. Recommended by Spotlight and trusted by casting directors, his work is centred on capturing authentic expression and the character that casting teams want to see. Why choose M.A.D Photography? Mark’s approach combines technical expertise with a personable, calm manner. He works in studio and with natural daylight to create a range of looks tailored to each client. Whether you’re a seasoned actor, a student updating your portfolio, or a young performer attending an agency shoot, Mark focuses on creating clean, current headshots that read instantly and convey your casting potential — always aiming for that “MONEY SHOT.” What makes the approach special is the attention to detail and the emphasis on comfort. Sessions are relaxed and conversational: Mark coaches expression and movement rather than asking for forced poses, producing natural results that reflect real personality. Clients receive digital contact sheets quickly, and Mark offers same‑day digital viewing so you can see the range of images while the moment is fresh. How we work with you: every portrait session is tailored. Mark prepares with each client to understand the looks needed for casting and creates a friendly environment that helps even camera-shy performers relax. For children and group bookings with theatre schools or agencies, the team are CRB checked and experienced at keeping sessions efficient and enjoyable. The studio process is collaborative — you’ll review images together and choose the shots that best represent your range. Mark’s passion is simple: great headshots are the first impression in casting, and getting that right matters. Over decades of shooting thousands of actors and young performers (many of whom have gone on to TV and stage roles), he’s refined a reliable method that combines personality, technical polish and industry awareness. If you want portrait photography in Enfield Lock that’s focused, professional and designed to get you noticed, M.A.D Photography delivers results with a warm, expert touch.
