Frequently Asked Questions
Theatrical headshots are more dramatic and character-driven, suitable for stage, film, and TV roles. Commercial headshots are brighter, friendlier, and more approachable - perfect for advertising, hosting, and spokesperson work. Most actors need both types in their portfolio.
Bring 3-4 different looks that showcase your range: casual, professional/business, edgy/character, and formal/upscale. Include variety in necklines and colors. This gives you options for different role types and casting calls.
You need both. A great actor headshot portfolio includes smiling shots (friendly, approachable) and serious/dramatic shots (intense, character-driven). Different roles require different energy, so variety is essential.
A strong actor headshot captures your authentic essence and castability. It should: use professional lighting, have a neutral background that doesn't distract, show your eyes clearly (the soul of a headshot), look current and like you, and convey personality without being overly posed.
Update your headshots whenever your appearance significantly changes (hair color, weight, facial hair, aging) or every 1-2 years minimum. Your headshot must look like current you when you walk into an audition. Casting directors won't appreciate surprises.
Yes, but conservatively. We remove temporary blemishes and even skin tone while keeping you looking natural and authentic. Heavy retouching is counterproductive - you need to look like your headshot in person. Casting directors want to see the real you.
