Actor Headshots/Portraits
Actor Headshots Bradford, Yorkshire
I had a great time creating these Actor Headshots with Phoebe last week in my garden studio. A fairly routine request for some Headshots to use to send to casting agents. We successfully created those along with a few little more creative looks I wanted to add to the session.
When creating Actor Headshots there are some fundamentals regarding the photography. First one of course, the photograph must look like you the actor. I'm sure there's a whole lot of disappointment when it comes to meeting an agent and the shot submitted doesn't quite fit with the person sitting on the chair. It needs to give a clear idea of who this person is, their face shape from multiple angles, showing any piercings, tattoos etc. Also to show what your hair is like, tied up and down (if you have any) along with a longer shot so they can see your body shape.
My sessions are completely relaxed. There's always music playing in the background and we generally just chat about whatever comes to mind. As long as you are not a Kylie or Spice Girls fan you can even add some tracks to the playlist :)
We cannot make mistakes. As we discuss your posing for a shot, or the expression, if one shot doesn't work, there's another 10 shots that follow that rectify any half-blinks, hair malfunction or anything else. I work by tethering so as I photograph you, we see the results instantly on the screen. This is a great way to work as we can discuss if things are working well and then continue doing so.
I'm not a stickler on timings and pretty much for every client I work with due to my own levels of devotion to creating great photography, we run over time. If the vibe is good, within reason of course, we can continue and get the job done!
Drop me a line here by email to let me know what you need and I can reply back with some great ideas to ensure you get some great Actor Headshots.
I’m based in Baildon, Bradford but happy to travel with my lights, backgrounds etc to somewhere near you or your home if that makes more sense.
