HEADSHOT FAQ

What Can I use these Headshots for?

  • Online casting profiles

  • Submitting to agents and managers for possible representation

  • Personal actor websites

  • Professional social media profiles

  • Marketing materials (i.e., postcards, business cards)

  • These days, most auditions ask for online submissions, so in addition to hard copies, you will also need digital copies of your headshot to upload onto online casting profiles. 

  • For theater auditions, it is standard practice to bring a hard copy of your headshot, so you should always come to an audition armed with your headshot.

What is the Headshot Process?

  1. Pre-Shoot Discussion: When you first arrive at the shoot, I will ask some questions about your goals and the questionnaire you filled out before the shoot. We will decide on the best setting and outfit to help you achieve each "Look." You are welcome to bring any inspiration to the shoot. 

  2. The Shoot: The shoot will last about 30 minutes. We will be capturing 2 different "Looks." I will guide you through the process for each look and direct you where to stand, what to do. Please feel free to ask any questions when you're not sure. I will take a lot of shots quickly (about 5-10 images per burst) so I can best capture any subtle expression changes on your face. I can show you the pictures throughout the shoot so you get an idea of what the images look like and you can make changes if you're not liking certain things.

  3. After the Shoot: I will make basic color adjustments before sending the shots to you for review. A link to your proof gallery will be sent to your email. From there you can view the proofs and select which pictures you like best. (Please see the download guide below.

  4. Retouching and Printing: Once your photo selection is made, I will apply further edits to enhance the image, and I will remove any blemishes that are not permanent features of your face. The images will then be sent to the lab for printing. Once printed, they will be mailed to your address. The Digital copies will also be emailed to your email address.

What Should I Wear for my Headshots?

  • ​Start by choosing flattering clothing you LOVE that makes you feel confident and authentically you,

  • Do not wear a costume. 

  • Wear what showcases your personal style best, but remember-Simplicity is key. 

  • In general, solid colors are preferred because patterns and logos are distracting.

  • Layers can add more depth, so open jackets are great additions to outfits and can offer variety in poses.

  • Most colors work fine, but you should stay away from bright or light colors like white, light gray, light pink, etc., as they can appear too bright on camera.

  • Pick colors that bring out your eyes and complement your skin tone. 

  • If you are going for two different Looks, bring a different outfit for each Look.

  • Be sure your clothing aligns with the type of Look you're shooting for and the Types of roles you're auditioning for.
