Headshots For Actors
Turn Your Professional Photos Into a Powerful Career Statement
Actor Headshots
The DMV has a lively and vibrant acting community. Netflix, HBO, Apple, and other major productions hire hundreds of actors locally. Commercials for retailers, entertainment venues and local businesses require seasoned talent. Not to mention theatrical productions of all sizes. And some actors are headed to Broadway or LA to pursue their careers.
You all have one thing in common: you need professional, high quality headshots that immediately convey your suitability for a role. Your headshot is a direct investment in your career.
There are a lot of industry requirements for actor headshots, so I’ll make sure we cover all the bases on the day of our session. My studio features a wide variety of backdrops as well as numerous outdoor options to make sure you get the right look and style for your photos. Need professional makeup or hair styling? No problem, I have a wide network of hair and makeup artists available for your session.
“Your audition begins the moment you walk into the room—but your headshot may determine if you get the chance to walk into that room in the first place.”
