When you get a call to see an Agent, Manager, Casting Agent, Producer or Director, they want to see the same person whose headshot they looked at.

You should look pretty much as you do in your Headshot.

There is nothing that drives people who might hire you more crazy, than seeing someone they never asked to see.
So, when you get your headshots taken, be yourself at your best.

ACTRESSES

Wash your hair before you come to the photo shoot.

Don’t put on makeup before you get to the studio.

When choosing what to wear for the session, first take a look at TV shows to get an idea of how productions dress their actors.

From your closet, pick  the type of outfits that reflect what is popular in the biz now.

For theatrical shots do not wear bold prints. (Whoever looks at your  headshot will only see the print , not you.)

Try the outfits on and LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

You must have your hair and makeup done by a professional.
Why?
Because they know best how Makeup responds in studio lighting
conditions.

ACTORS

No makeup.

When choosing what to wear for the session, first take a look at TV shows to get an idea of how productions dress their actors. From your closet, pick  the type of outfits that reflect what is popular in the biz now.

For theatrical shots do not wear bold prints. (Whoever looks at your  headshot will only see the print , not you.)

Try the outfits on and LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

Bring as many outfits as you can carry. What may look great in the mirror, doesn't always look great in the camera , so give yourself and the photographer a chance to change into something that works in the camera.

ABOVE ALL BE RELAXED AT THE PHOTOSHOOT, IT’S JUST FILM OR DIGITAL IMAGES, NOT WORLD WAR THREE. YOU CAN ALWAYS BURN THE FILM OR DELETE THE IMAGES..

HAVE A GREAT TIME & HAVE FUN!

BEWARE OF AGENTS WHO ASK FOR ANY KIND OF DEPOSITS, MONEY OR FEES FOR ANYTHING. THEY ARE ALL SCAMS!
