A headshot is one of THE most important things in an actors arsenal. It’s your first impression and it cannot be sub-par, or “nice”. When you submit for a role you need to stand out against other people that look just like you, and if you don’t stand out then they have no reason to even look at your resume. Your photos need to be shot by someone who specializes in headshots, because when you get crappy headshots, not only will you not stand out, you’re communicating to casting directors and other industry professionals that you aren’t serious about your career and aren’t willing to put in the effort that other actors are. So, you’ll simply be passed over for someone else that slapped them across the face with awesomeness. They’re an incredibly important investment and will more than pay for themselves when you’re landing roles because they’re opening the door for auditions and leaving a fantastic lasting impression.

​A photographer should know what casting directors are seeking, stay current with industry trends, make you stand out as an individual, AND pull emotion right through the photo, especially through your eyes. The expression “the eyes are the windows to the soul” could have been written about acting headshots. Headshot photography is an art form and it’s not easy nor simple.

While there may be other photographers out there charging less, just remember: you get what you pay for!
