Whether you need acting headshots, modeling headshots, or professional headshots for your business cards, publications, or website, you’ve come to the right place! At Casual Elegance Photography we love doing headshots! We’ve met some really interesting people from all walks of life at our headshot sessions! And our headshot special is a great way to get professional and high quality shots at a very reasonable price!
Unlike the boudoir or glamour photograph, where we use more dramatic lighting and editing techniques, the headshot is pretty straight forward. Your headshot should let your clients or potential employers see what you really look like, and give some insight into your personality.
Let’s concentrate on the acting headshot for a moment. While other professionals might use their headshot on their business card, the acting headshot really IS the business card of an actor. Coupled with your resume, your headshots should give casting directors insight into your personality and abilities.
It’s a good idea when having acting headshots done to show yourself in a variety of “characters”. So rather than just smiling for the camera, do some acting with your expressions! Let’s say that you are going for a part of a rather nerdy character. Make yourself look like a nerd for the photograph. Auditioning for the role of someone in law enforcement? Use your acting skills to suggest the part in the photograph.
A casting director wants to see a photograph that shows what you really look like. It needs to show your facial features accurately, and clearly. And they want to see what you look like now, not years ago, so keep your headshots current!
We’ll discuss other types of headshots (modeling, professional, personal) in later blogs. Keep checking back for more. We look forward to booking a headshot session with you soon!
