The importance of the headshot for models and actors

As a model or actor, your headshot is your first impression; the headshot is the first thing casting agents will see. When you go to a job interview, you will spend the extra time to look you best and make the best impression. Your head shot should be no different.

There are many budget photographers who will do headshots cheaply. But is that really wise? You need more than just a picture. You need a really good picture.

Mark has been doing professional headshots for over a decade and has worked with many of top agencies around the country. He knows what casting agents are looking for and will spend time talking with you about the type of role you are auditioning for or type of job you are trying to book. He will give you recommendations for what to wear to the photo shoot and if having your hair or makeup done professionally is recommended.

Mark offers headshot sessions and complete portfolio sessions with multiple looks. Contact Mark today to book your photo shoot.

Headshot Photography Information

Pricing for headshots starts at $275 and changes based on a number of variables. Your basic Headshot session includes one quick wardrobe change and your favorite two images on disc at printable resolution. Actor headshots are formatted to industry standards and include your name ready to print as 8x10's. All headshots include standard retouching. Hair and makeup services are available for an additional fee.

Other things that influence the cost of headshot photography:​

  • Use of the photos. Standard sessions include a license for use of your photos in any non-paid placement for your own self promotion. Photos used in magazines, billboards, television and other paid placements need a custom quote. 
  • Number of people in a single session. pro-rated discounts are available for businesses with more than 4 people in any one session.
  • Location. I'm mobile and happy to come to you. Travel fees will apply.​
  • Hair and Makeup. Both are highly recommended and not included. I have a highly skilled team of professionals available for men and women.​
  • Advanced retouching. Some skin conditions and hair/blemish corrections, particularly when you opt not to use professional makeup, will require additional fees. Photoshop changes in wardrobe and background will also require additional fees.​
  • Rush services. Standard turnaround is 2-3 business days for proofs and 1-2 business days for final photos. Although we may offer to have your headshot photo session on a weekend, computer work is only done M-F.​
