Headshots for actors – what are casting agents looking for?
Here is a selection of images from a recent headshot photo shoot featuring young actor Josh.
Most actors need a Spotlight type image for their portfolio, however a casting director will also want to see a variety of images that show the actor in a range of roles. By changing the mood and lighting of the portrait I have managed to portray this actor in a number of different styles.
Having a good knowledge of lighting and the right light shaping tools is a great advantage for me whilst providing headshots for actors in my studio. It is also important to have a good rapport with your sitter to put them at ease and allow the session to run smoothly.
Casting directors and agents also like to see images that are a true likeness of you, from their perspective it is time wasting to audition someone who does not look like their headshot photos. I always aim to provide faithful images of my sitters and keep the amount of retouching to a minimum.
