The Importance Of A Quality Headshot

If you are new to the acting world you may just be hearing about this thing called a headshot. A headshot is basically a photo of your head.
Sounds simple huh? Well you'd be surprised at how difficult many can make it seem.



Headshots Atlanta helps local actors find great photographers to shoot with at an affordable rate.



Basically, your headshot is your calling card. Without a headshot casting directors and agencies don't know what you look like. If they don't know what you look like then how can they cast you in their next project? They can't.


When you schedule your headshot photoshoot make sure you look like yourself. Ladies, do not put on a pound of makeup. Guys, don't have you hair in a style that you'd never show up to an audition with. Headshots need to look like you. Casting professionals don't want to be fooled. They want to meet the real you.


Avoid wearing shirts with patterns or logos.


Remember, the main focus of a headshot is your head. In this day and age many actors now take ¾ shots. These are shots that show some of their body and usually go down to their waist.


Many casting directors have mixed feelings about this.


We suggest you keep it minimal and stick to a photo that captures your true essence and the story in your eyes.


Be prepared to take many headshots on your journey as an actor. As you change, so should your pictures.
