About

Ash Matthews · Actor & photographer

I’m a professional actor and photographer based between Oslo and London. I’ve been acting for more than twenty years and taking photographs for the past decade. My screen credits include the international period drama The Alienist and Sam Esmail’s forthcoming Warner Bros. thriller Panic Carefully.

Years spent auditioning, filming and stepping in front of the camera for my own professional materials have taught me what a headshot needs to do. It should feel current, reveal credible casting possibilities and give an agent or casting director a reason to look again. I also understand the peculiar pressure of being the actor in front of the lens, suddenly aware of every muscle in your face.

That experience shapes the way I work: creating a calm, collaborative space where you don’t have to perform for the camera, and where the strongest images come from feeling present, understood and recognisably yourself.
