Preparing for a Headshot

Proudly active Protege in Peter Hurley's HeadShot Crew

Are you thinking of getting headshots? We certainly hope so! Here is some useful information to make sure you’re ready for your time in the spotlight!:) Headshots are your own personal branding, they will represent you at your best- the you that you want agents & your next employer to see! Headshots are all about your face! Your eyes are the first thing you want an agent and/ or casting director to notice, then your smile & other features. Thus, during your headshot session the focus is all on your face, our goal will be to depict you in various “characters” depending upon what role or roles you will be auditioning. 

CLOTHING 

Your attire needs to be clean & wrinkle free! Bring them on hangers to avoid wrinkles (yes t-shirts on hangers too:) We recommend you bring at least 3-4 solid colored tops with various necklines & tops of various styles for the session & place them on hangers to avoid wrinkles. Your color choices should complement your skintone and eye color. If you have a specific color that your friends & family say look great on you, by all means bring that color, along with some other colors. Interesting textures are acceptable, but no busy patterns, stripes or lines please! Layers are a great choice also, especially for business professional headshots!


HAIR

 Please be sure your hair, whether straight or curly, is how you would wear if for auditions or submissions to agents. Although you can put styling products in your hair, it still needs to look natural. Do your best to make sure you do not have “fly aways” as these add more time to the editing process, cannot be guaranteed to be “fixed” and may cause an additional editing fee. Be sure to bring a brush/ comb, hairspray, hairpins (if needed), and any other styling products for your specific needs. Do not get a new haircut or color your hair within a week of your photoshoot!

SOCIAL MEDIA AWARENESS

Social media is a huge part of all of our lives and we all want to be seen at our best, right? We all have accounts that require a ‘profile picture’. Many of us will post us with our friends, couples, kids, funny events, quotes, and the list goes on and on. However, if you are in the business world, you know that your co-workers, your boss and more importantly future boss IS going through ALL your social media sites. If you think they aren’t, you are wrong! That being said, you can understand the importance of your ‘profile picture’, as well as any other photos you are posting. Please be aware that you are being judged by what you post. Your future employer can’t say they are not hiring you for that reason, but they WILL find a reason not to hire you. So, think twice about what you’re posting on social media. Let the things you post show you in a positive light:)

Bringing out your "inner model"

Today we had the honor of photographing another outstanding dancer.  We love headshot sessions because each person has different qualities and talents. We find it so exciting to capture their unique characteristics and personalities! Some exude great confidence, while others are a little timid and unsure of themselves. However, we can honestly say, that we take great pride in bringing out their "inner model". Those who come in unsure and unconfident, leave with a greater understanding of their own body language and facial expressions- therefore, confidence!  Clients who come to us with confidence also leave with a greater understanding of how their personality translates to photos. When the client can finish their session with too many photos to choose from-we feel great! 

Confidence is key to having a great audition submission. You want to stand out from the rest and make the casting director want to find you during the audition process! You also want to go to each audition with the confidence that you took the time to get high quality headshots-not just a snapshot on a phone or other device. Casting directors appreciate that you invested in yourself and believe in your talent by getting professional headshots.

In today's world of social media, professional headshots are a must! If you are actively auditioning, running a business, trying to start a business, etc., you should present yourself in a way that is authentic and stands out.  Please feel free to e-mail or call today and set up your session! We look forward to hearing from you:)

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, 

instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Keeping busy...

We sincerely hope your 2015 has started out with happiness, health & progress towards your goals!  But don’t despair if you have not stayed on the path towards those goals whatever they may be! 

Many of us put too much pressure on ourselves to start something new on January 1st of the new year. Quite honestly it can be too much pressure to put that date as the only day you can start a new beginning.  We are now into the first week of February and if you have not stayed on track or even started- don’t worry! Every day is a new day! You don’t have to wait for morning, or Monday or the next month- just start! Live your life by the hour if you must! For example, maybe you ate a donut for breakfast (again) and you feel as if you ruined your diet already. Forget that mentality! This is a new hour! You can still choose to eat healthy foods:) Maybe you plan to write a novel, a movie, become an actor, singer, etc. Any day you start is the perfect day!

 Are you new to photography & planned (in the New Year) to learn how to finally take your camera off of “Automatic” and really learn what each setting can do? Again, every day is a new day! Go learn something new about your camera right now!
