Theatrical & Character Headshots

Theatrical Headshots

Theatrical headshots for actors are your key to landing roles in TV and film. I love capturing these shots because they allow for more depth and drama. Typically featuring muted clothing, darker backgrounds, and more intense expressions, a great theatrical headshot should reveal your personality while hinting at your emotional range. It’s all about creating a strong, lasting impression that gets you noticed.

Character Headshots

Character headshots are all about showcasing your versatility and range as an actor. They allow you to embody different personas, from the quirky best friend to the menacing villain. These shots are more stylized, using wardrobe, expressions, and backgrounds to hint at the roles you're perfect for. A strong character headshot should give casting directors a glimpse of how you can transform into unique, memorable roles.
