We provide affordable photo Shoot for our Talent.
Headshots/Composites, for actor/models, are as important as a voice to a singer. Your headshot / composites card represent you as a professional; it must not only be good, it must be very great!
A photographer will take any number of photos 50 to 200 digital images) of which one, three or five will be selected for your headshot or composite. our photographer will give us "proof sheets" with small images. We choose the one(s) best for your headshot or composite. Once we decide, we return the proofs to our photographer for retouching. They will give you the finished photograph, which you will take to a printing house to order your prints.
Child actors who do a lot of ad work are called Commercial Kids. They also have composite shots to show a number of different looks. These are usually shot in black and white, because children grow so fast, they need new pictures every six to ten months. Their look is more basic; no more than three photos--the face, full body, and then usually an action-type shot-playing soccer, for example, or licking chocolate from their smiling, freckled face. Children need only 50 to 75 headshots since their look will change before they've given them all out, and they need to have more photos taken.
While all actors need headshots, the variety of what can be done is nothing short of amazing. A dramatic actor will need what's called a Theatrical Headshot. Often shot in the classic black and white, these headshots tell a director this actor can handle a meaty part.
Some Actors will need two or more different types of headshots. If you work as a Commercial Actor, you will need a Commercial Headshot, which is much different from a Theatrical Headshot.
Models headshots are called Composites, and consist of three or more poses on one sheet of 51/2" x 8" paper. Usually shot in Color, the largest photo is a close-up of the face, the second largest is a full body shot, often wearing a high-fashion garment or posing with a product. The other photo(s) will highlight a particular feature, like the hands, feet, or lips. |
