A Few Tips when Booking Head Shots for Actors:

• Keep it simple with natural makeup that isn’t overdone. Solid colors are best and avoid bright white tops. Avoid anything that will distract the focus from you.

• Select outfits that match your type or brand. You want to showcase a range of looks but remember the strongest one is the one that aptly represents you and the typical roles you would be cast in.

• Preparation is key. Plan your outfits well in advance. In the days leading up to your photo shoot, prep your skin and keep it properly hydrated by drinking lots of water and moisturizing.

• Historically Acting Head Shots were printed and submitted in Black & White but times have changed. We offer a Color & BW version of each final image selected so you have both to choose from.

Here are some faves from a recent In Studio Session with Jessie updating her Acting Head Shots.
