Actor Headshots Los Angeles

Acting headshots are used for casting directors to figure out whether the individual has the look they are searching for.

An acting headshot is your business card. Your acting headshots should show your range of personalities and what kind of roles you are capable of getting into character for.

Whether you are an experienced actor or someone just starting out in acting, getting your professional headshot taken or updated by a Los Angeles headshot photographer should be at the top of your to-do list.

We always encourage our actors to bring in a variety of clothes to select from and to get you in character.

For your acting headshot, you want to at least portray two different looks.

The first acting look should be more natural in a plain t-shirt that can be layered with a blazer or your favorite leather jacket. It should have a more natural appeal.

The second acting look should focus on the type of role you are trying to get cast for. If you are going to the girl/boy next door, think about layering your outfit with a cardigan. If you are focused on getting cast for an evil villain, think about what dark looks you want to put together such as a leather jacket.

We are happy to schedule a complimentary phone consultation to discuss the roles you have in mind and what kind of outfits you should be gathering for your actor’s headshot session.
