We used a cyan colour gel as a side light accent here to add some visual interest to this musician portrait. Don’t hesitate to bring as many props as you’d like to mix things up ! Although we typically suggest to plan/previsualize your photoshoot, it is also essential to plan for the unexpected and spontaneous ideas that come up while shooting.

Kick up your headshot a notch and use an environmental background! Let us know if you have something specific in mind, or have us pick the best option based on your wardrobe.
For this look we chose to shoot just outside the building in the loading dock. Since our subject was wearing a shirt that showed her lighter complexion, we felt the subtle contrast was just enough to make the headshot lively.

If you’re new to the industry or just looking to get back into it, stop by our studio for some quick updated headshots! The most important thing to remember when submitting your images is that it should be current to what you look like now. For women the makeup should be light or non existent as much a possible.

When dressing for your submission photos, you should aim to present yourself as a clean base, a blank page for agencies and clients to imagine you however they want. Although you may like the photos better with your personality shining through, it does the agency no favours and in fact could even work against you by type casting yourself to clients.

Tyler came into the studio to get some acting headshots done, and brought with him a variety of clothing options. This particular shirt was an item he purchased not exactly for the shoot, but with the shoot in mind. It even had the tag still on it!

Not only did he go home that day with a great photo, but a great shirt as well! We recommend taking your time to plan the little for your photoshoot, such as a getting a fresh haircut, buying a new pair of glasses, or simply giving your wardrobe an update.

One of the most common things we’ve noticed over the years of shooting is that people tend to like things on others they don’t necessarily immediately like on themselves. An example of this is when it comes to the cropping of the photos.

We often respond well to portraits of others that have a subtly tight crop (since the impression is more impactful). Due to this, we sometimes apply the same cropping technique to our headshots, yet we found it’s common for clients to react with a “don’t cut my head off!”

We decided the best way to alleviate the issue was to provide the files with a tighter and looser crop. And ideally, with their own timing, they will slowly get used to the sight of their own faces close up!
