"I strive to
capture the Actor, not just a pretty
picture. I want the Actor to have not only
great, but accurate representation... that's
what Casting Directors are looking for. Two
things that you never want to hear from a
Casting Director: 1)" Is that you? Your
Headshot doesn't look like you." 2) "Was
that Headshot taken 10 years ago?" My
headshots sell the actor, not a
background...not a chair... not clothing or
jewelry!!! If you are trying to fool anyone
with your auditioning headshot, or trying to
be someone that you are not, please go to
one of my competitors. I will not try to be
different at the expense of the actor. If
your headshot gets you in for an audition
that is what makes me look good." When
looking at the my work please note that
it is not about 'the... poses', although
there is a variety, but it is about a Casting
Director looking at the headshot and seeing
an actor who can handle acting. It is about
The Actor, but hey I guess some people don't
get it."
Note: Auditioning headshots are different
than publicity or glamour headshots.
So
don't cut a picture out of a magazine, take
it to a photographer and say, 'I want this.'
Big mistake.
Also Note: If you show up late or bring
family who interrupt our session don't
complain it appears that you are being
rushed.
I allow plenty of time for a
session.
If you don't 'bring anything to the
session' it will be difficult, although I am
known for doing so, for me to 'bring it out
of you'.
Most important note: In my opinion there is
not only one good photographer. Everyone has
their favorite's.
I am not the only good
photographer in South Florida! Please check
out my competitors and decide who's style
and personality you feel will get you the
headshots that will get you in the door to
the auditions for the type of work that you
are suited for. Reputable agencies (who do
not sell photos) and Casting Agents are who
you are trying to get to look at you
seriously. Ask...
