Headshots in London – Where Do I Start?
Headshots in London – Where Do I Start? Well, here in Europe people include their headshots or photos in their resumés, in their work intranet profiles and in their social media accounts.
If you are an actor or anyone in the entertainment industry, you know it’s important to have a great headshot to help you get more work. You’re your main marketing tool so obviously you’ll include headshots in your portfolio and for all castings – the casting director won’t even see you if they don’t see your headshot first! But… what’s the number one complaint from casting directors? When you don’t look like your headshot. READ THIS BLOG POST FOR MORE INFORMATION on headshots in London – where do I start? It’s no good using a holiday snapshot or a photo downloaded from Facebook – they just won’t do. It has to be a professional headshot.
What should I wear?
Wear something plain. Try to stay away from jazzy patterns and bold strong stripes as this kind of clothing will distract the eye of the viewer away from your face – your face is the most important part of the headshot, not your clothes!
A normal headshot session is 2 hours, in that time we can take lots of different headshots showing various expressions and emotions. As part of your headshot portfolio, it’s good to have serious theatrical headshots as well as a commercial smiling headshot for TV commercial etc. Within your portfolio, it’s always a good idea to have several character headshots i.e smiling nice girl/guy-next-door, serious and thoughtful, strong and determined or laughing and fun.
How do I know if it’s a good headshot?
First of all we all view ourselves through our own eyes with the little foibles and insecurities we’ve grown up with. Often we are not the best people at judging our headshots. Many of our clients ask for help to choose their final photos. We have an independent viewpoint and are not burdened with the anxieties and dislikes we often have about the way we look. Work are not the same as family snaps headshots in London – where do I start, not with faliny snapshots.
