Actress and Model Headshots

Headshots for actors, actresses, and models are a little different than business headshots.  Lighting and equipment are similar but the posing and cropping of the images are not.  Talent directors want to see an actor’s face first and foremost.  So a tighter headshot is required for actors and sometimes not even the top of the hair is included in the shot.  The headshot must include all of the face and down to the collar bones.  An actor headshot session should also include some variety in expression.  It’s probably best to have two or three final images for your headshots.  A happy smiling photo is necessary but a more serious look is also great to have in your back pocket.  Here is a great article on acing your professional headshots for actors: Professional Headshots for Actors: 7 Steps to an Eye-Grabbing 8 by 10

Headshots for Zy

Zy’s mom contacted me about actor headshots for her 5-year-old daughter.  I was excited!!  And she was an absolute pro.  She came prepared with several outfits and after warming up a bit, Zy let her personality shine through!  I asked her to turn her chin one way and then the other and she followed directions better than some adults.  True story.  I had to get her cute hair in the shots as well because the hair styling made that look.  At the very end of the session, we did some natural light headshots and a more serious expression.  She nailed it.  The serious expressions at the beginning of the session were more playful and silly.  But the ones at the end were perfect and I just love her final image with that serious expression.

UPDATE: Zy’s mom contacted me after the showcase.  Zy was the only 5-year-old selected to go to California next year for IPOP.  How exciting!  She was so glad to have those 8×10 headshots in her hand just before leaving.  I’m so glad we got them done!
