shooting actor’s headshots with charles

these are picture samples of a man who booked a photo shoot for actor's headshots. he wanted to submit pictures to castings but was kinda worried that the scars on his face would ruin his chances of getting an audition. I would've preferred that he looks the way he is but prefer to look different. I tried to reassure him that having imperfections was fine since they were showing him the way he looked like. I told him also, if he wanted, I could edit all the skin blemishes in photoshop and he was happy to hear it. we did a full hour shoot and he had a few changes of clothes. different moods. little change in lighting. I think he came out with great headshots. he made his selection after a while and I did more than the traditional  touchup in photoshop. since he wanted the scars and skin blemishes removed, I did a more advanced retouching, without extra change and looking at his smile, he seemed very happy.

I had the pleasure to do a shoot with this good looking young man who relocated to washington dc from california who was looking for a dc photographer to take some actors headshots so he could submit some pictures for casting. he's tall and good looking and had a pretty good idea of what he wanted. he brought in a couple of changes of clothes, mainly shirts because all we were gonna take was head and shoulder pictures. either he had acted before or else, he felt very comfortable in front of the camera. I set my lighting so I could get some good contrast. we got some music going and pretty soon, it was camera, action. we took about 100 pictures out of which he selected 12 and was very happy - see more samples of actors headshots

photo shoot with an aspiring dc teen actress with a beautiful smile. all american girl with dreams to make it big someday in the movies or a tv sitcom. she wasn't really sure whether she would go for modeling or acting. since the shoot is booked for an hour, she could do both at no extra charge. she had brought a whole wardrobe for a few changes of clothes, so we decided to do some acting headshots with different looks. in between, we would take a few modeling shots with half body and full body shots with different lighting setups and poses so she could have a wide selection to choose from. sshe needed to have some headshots printed and a comp card that she could also send to some modeling agencies as well. she got great pictures and I helped her find a printer for comp cards and resume. she needed the pictures before the weekend and we were lucky to get the prints back in time for her trip to new york. she was very happy.  see more sample actor heashots on sharpfocus photography website

it was a great pleasure to shoot headshots of this little child with tremendous acting skills. her mom booked a half-hour shoot, which was a special that I was running. they walked into the studio without the girl saying a word. she showed great comfort in front of the camera and would improvise perky poses. with more child actors growing successful careers, I suggested that she should get represented but her mom replied that she already had an agent and she was patiently waiting for the pictures - see more at sharpfocus dc actors headshots
