Actor Headshots
Headshot Photographers for Actors in Rockville, Bethesda, & Washington DC
I love working with actors! Well, I love working with all my clients, but actors really have fun during a headshot session, as being in front of a camera is not as uncomfortable for them as it is for many others.
An acting headshot is the first time casting agents, casting directors, and managers will see you. They'll make a split-second judgment about you based on that image.
So, if your headshot looks like the other hundreds of boring expressionless headshots in the stack, what chance do you have to stand out in your acting career?
Time for new headshots!
Getting the Look “Just Right” in your Actor Headshots near Rockville, MD
With some simple coaching on pose and expression, along with great studio lighting, I'm able to capture acting headshots that show off your true personality with confidence and approachability. We were able to get a good variety of expressions to suit different audition needs. You can't be too prepared in this field. If all your headshots look like the girl or guy next door but you want to be playing a badass law and order cop, you're handicapping yourself by not having the right images to send.
I like to find out what you're reading for right now and what you'd like to be reading for, then we can shoot for a variety of expressions that match the character types you want to be playing.
My professional headshot studio space is located in Rockville, Maryland, and I offer in-studio or outdoor headshot sessions depending on the style that suits you and your brand. If you have any questions about a headshot session, feel free to contact me below.
Child Actor Headshots
Rockville, MD, Bethesda, & Washington DC
I hear a lot of parents of young actors saying, “Well, let's see if he/she really gets into it, then I'll invest in headshots,” or, “I'm waiting to see if my kid gets cast for something before spending the money.”
I get it, money can be tight, and activities are expensive. Be glad your child isn't getting into hockey! If your son or daughter is into acting and wants to be cast for TV, film, or the stage, the best investment you can make is on solid, child actor headshots. These headshots are going to be the first thing a casting director sees before even meeting your son or daughter. Before they've even had a chance to see what they can do as actors, that first impression will have already been made. Make sure that you're going in strong with a good headshot.
Professional headshots show that you believe you are worth it. It shows the casting agent you think you are worth their time and that you see yourself as a professional.
There will be hundreds of people all auditioning for the same part, so anything you can do to make yourself stand out above those other folks will only help you in the process.
I work as an expression and posing coach with every client that walks in the door. I guide everyone through the process of carefully crafting headshots that show variety in expression and mood. I want you to leave here armed with a great headshot, no matter what you want to audition for.
Here is a session I did with a young actor in my neighborhood. He killed it in front of the camera. Keep your eyes on this guy!
As a professional headshot photographer, I serve the Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. areas with both in-studio and outdoor headshot sessions.
