What headshots do Actors need?

Ideally an actor will have a range of headshots in their acting portfolio that can suggest different briefs. The headshots ideally should be evenly lit on the face with an engaging expression that brings focus to the eyes.

What is a typical Actor headshot?

A typical actor headshot will depend which market they operate within but most often it will be a head and shoulders photograph that is front on to camera and with a hint of smile to create an enigmatic presence.

Actor Headshots FAQ

You need at least some hint of a smile in your actor headshot and a bigger smile is good for more commercial castings. Also what suits the actors face in terms of the best expression should be captured.

Pricing is based on time shooting and how many shots you want to keep. You can send us an email via the contact page to get the full session and image collection rates.

 

Colours that compliment your eyes and skin will photograph best i.e blues for blue eyes and fair skin, greens and browns for green eyes and warmer skin tones. Try to avoid busy patterns and logo’s on clothing and keep clothes well fitted.

Natural makeup in a headshot is acceptable but  avoid excessive contouring that changes the face and avoid bronzers and excessive eye makeup.

Ideally it should look like you on a good day and not be overly styled. Changing the position of the hair will change the framing on the face so mixing things up gives you more options.

Pushing your chin forward and forehead slightly down into the lens is a good starting point to look good in a headshot. Also angling your jawline so its visible to the lens will look more flattering.
