F&M MEDIA

F&M MEDIA is a portrait studio in Kirkcaldy run by two working actors who built the business out of a desire for a better headshot experience. That background shapes everything we do: we speak the language of performers, understand casting needs and know how to coax a genuine moment from anyone in front of the lens. If you want portrait photography that looks like you — not an over-retouched version of you — this is the studio to choose. Why clients come to us: we combine actor-led direction with technical expertise to produce industry-ready headshots, professional portraits and LinkedIn/business photos that open doors. Our sessions are deliberately relaxed: we start with a coffee & a chat to get to know your range, your casting types and how you want to be seen. That rapport, plus a willingness to be playful and a bit experimental, is how we capture powerful, honest images. What makes our approach special: both photographers — Ryan and Hâle — shoot and edit with distinct styles, yet share the same values. You choose who you work with so your personality and career goals guide the shoot. We use a curated set of hand-painted backdrops and varied lighting setups to make your features and wardrobe pop, and we’ll direct eye-lines, movement and subtle performance notes so every frame reads true on camera. Our process favours real collaboration: we try things, riff, delete what doesn’t work and keep what does. How we work with you: sessions are practical and personable. Expect genuine industry advice if you want it, wardrobe guidance from our prep materials, and an atmosphere full of music, banter and encouragement. We hand-process images on the day and guide you through selecting final edits, keeping the experience fast and actor-focused. For professionals needing a LinkedIn or business portrait, we tailor lighting and posture to suit corporate and casting profiles while preserving authenticity. Based in Kirkcaldy with on-site parking and easy transport links, F&M MEDIA is focused on portrait photography as our core speciality. If you value a studio where direction comes from experienced actors, where creative choices are collaborative, and where the end result is a set of professional, natural portraits designed for the industry, let’s book a session and get you looking your best.
