Testimonials

I recently had a session with the fantastic Nicholas Maude from Stages Capture The Moment and am thrilled with the results. 

I was needing new headshots for my career and Nick's approach with actors is very reassuring! He works calmly and swiftly, and offers a range of backdrops and lighting states. And most importantly it's all very relaxed!

 A massive thumbs up from me and I'd recommend Nick at the drop of a hat!

I consider this the best headshot session in my 26 years of being an actress!

Not only was it fun and relaxing, but Nick has a magic skill for capturing the very essence of you and also your most flattering self. 

Nick had a handful of backdrops so we could experiment and see which one looked best with each outfit. It was hard to choose only a handful of pics to display on my acting websites!

My recent photoshoot with Stages Capture the Moment was the most relaxed and friendly I have experienced in my 30 year performing career. Nick has bags of knowledge both behind the camera and in front. As a professional actor he understands the need to capture all facets of a performers personality and one of the best ways he does this is by making the actor feel at home, having a laugh, offering gorgeous coffee and taking the time to get both the light and body positioning absolutely right. I cannot recommend Stages Capture the Moment enough.

I had been putting off getting new ones for years because I hate having my photo taken but Nick made it so easy. He instantly puts you at ease and gives you as much time as you want, so I felt really relaxed and under no pressure.

I can't thank him enough and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Really professional job.

What a wonderful session I experienced! 

From someone who is a little anxious having their photos taken, Nick had the ability to make me feel right at ease. With his calm disposition and the fun environment he created making me laugh, he made me forget that I was being photographed and I felt joyous.

A trust was built, and his professionalism shone! Thank you for the fabulous photos. I would highly recommend Nick.

Working with Nick to get my headshots was an ideal experience from an actor's point of view. He's super relaxed, his house is so lovely and I didn't feel any stress during the shoot to be done by a certan time. Loved the final shots of course! All at an affordable price and with his own actor's eye involved too. Thanks Nick - will definitely recommend you to others.

Nick captured me so well in these photos and I couldn't be happier! I felt so comfortable and at ease taking these photos. Nick made me aware of what poses and angles worked best for me which was so helpful as I usually don't know how to pose. Thank you, I love them so much.

My shoot with Nick was an amazing experience from start to finish.

It was collaborative and creative, and created some exceptional shots.

I would highly recommend Nick for anyone looking for an amazing, professional portfolio update.

A really fun shoot. Nick is brilliant at getting the best from his subjects in a really collaborative process, making sure all bases are covered. So many excellent photos to choose from, and fantastic attention to detail when it comes to processing.

Nick has a real passion for his art, and goes above and beyond to get the very best results.

I’ve had the pleasure of using Nick for many photo shoots and videos and have always been so happy with the results. I keep going back to him for a reason. He is such a talented artist at what he does. From the lighting, to the set up and direction. He makes me feel at ease instantly and has the best coffee in town. 

Thoroughly recommend! I intend to keep on using his services for the foreseeable future.

I'm so self critical and was very scared to get my headshots done. But I found an amazing photographer at Stages Capture the Moment. Nicholas was patient and kind and captured ME. These have impressed even me.

Thank you, and if anyone needs headshots, he's super reasonable and local in Watford.

Nick is wonderfully welcoming and made me feel at home despite the weirdness of having time spent smiling and moving your head a few inches here and there.

The results are wonderful - very proud to use them as they're not only at my best, but they also show my personality which is a major bonus.

I was very nervous about making sure I was prepared but Nicholas was so friendly and kind and made me feel comfortable to try out different looks and outfits. He was also very helpful and patient when it came to choosing the right photos. I would definitely go back to him in the future. Thank you

Had a wonderful experience having my headshots taken with Nick, was made to feel very comfortable and having a chat/music on throughout made me more relaxed and the process was so fun. I felt free to experiment with looks and go beyond my comfort zone poses! I am so happy with the results and excited to use the headshots. Great communication and would recommend to anyone who would like them done. Whether it's your first time having headshots or you need a refresh, you'll have a blast!

I cannot recommend Nick more. As someone that finds having their photo taken slightly daunting, Nick put me at ease straight away. I felt extremely comfortable which has resulted in beautiful headshots. 

I am really happy with the photos, they are exactly what I was hoping to achieve. It was a really great session. Highly recommend.
