Actor Headshots

ACTOR HEADSHOTS NYC

As an actor, your headshot is among the most important tools in your marketing toolbox. It is often the first impression you will make on an agent or casting director.

You may be an amazing performer, and have a killer resume, but if you want someone to actually look at the resume or actually watch your reel, especially in NYC, you’d better have a professional, industry-standard, engaging and dynamic headshot.

You are the product that you are selling. How are you going to best market that product?  You are worth it. Invest and do it right!

 

How Do I Choose My Headshot Photographer?

There are a lot of us out there, and sometimes it may feel overwhelming to make a choice.  While looking through the headshot photographer's work, in addition to checking out the prerequisites like lighting and hair/makeup, ask yourself these questions about the people in the photos:

  • Do they look artificially "posed" or do they look natural?

  • Do they have the "deer-in-the-headlights" expression or can you get a sense of their individual energy?

  • Are they "trying too hard" to BE something; sexy, tough, goofy, etc., or do you believe that the photographer has captured a natural moment?

  • Also, if you don't find the quality consistent, that should be a red flag.

My process is very open and collaborative, and I guide you through it, from preparing for the shoot, through the shoot itself, and through the post-shoot process of preparing your images for auditions. I can also offer a lot of guidance about getting an agent, workshops, and classes, and what types of headshots to use for different roles.
