What Makes a Good Actor Headshot?
Capturing the Actor’s Personality
A compelling actors headshot should accurately represent an actor’s personality and convey a sense of authenticity. It should reflect their individuality and potential, allowing casting directors to envision them in various roles.
Wardrobe and Makeup Selection
Choosing the right wardrobe and makeup is crucial for creating impactful actor headshots. Actors should opt for simple outfits that align with their casting type and represent the characters they aspire to portray. Makeup should enhance natural features without overshadowing the actor’s appearance.
Factors to Consider When Selecting a Photographer
Finding a skilled and experienced headshot photographer is essential. Consider their portfolio, style and ability to capture the personality of actors. A photographer who understands the industry and can guide actors during the session is invaluable.
Technical Considerations

I have been working on my LinkedIn page and I have felt the need to upgrade my LinkedIn photo. I wanted to find a professional photographer who cared about his craft as a Photographer and someone who would listen to my needs as a customer. … More I did my research and short listed the possible photographers. Craig’s photography stood out from the start. I contacted him and mentioned what I was looking for and how I felt he could guide me through the process of giving my LinkedIn profile an update. He responded quickly and highlighted what he could offer me and how he appreciated my reading thoroughly his emails and he explained the creative process that he undertakes during a photoshoot. Craig was very professional and came over as the sort of person who would actually listen to his customers and their needs. Having had unsuccessful and even uncomfortable photoshoots previously in NYC and London in the past, I wanted to find a Photographer who would actually take time to listen to my needs and my end goal for a photoshoot, rather than another photographer selling me complicated and limited packages.
Craig shared an easy 3-step process that he follows in his Headshot process, which was straightforward and in line with what I had been looking for in a photographer and a photoshoot process. We had a conversation over the phone and booked a session. I explained to him what I needed and my end goal for my photoshoot. He understood and indeed listened attentively acknowledging my needs and how he could facilitate achieving this aim through his photography. He followed-up via email and sent a friendly reminder in preparation for my photoshoot.
On the day of the photoshoot, things happened, I experienced inconveniences with my mobile and an issue with trains before arriving at his studio. He was incredibly mindful and kind, and assisted me in every way possible to be as relaxed as I could be for my photoshoot. Here, I would like to note both his great kindness and professional manners in relation to my circumstances before arriving to his studio. Upon arrival, he had this amazing studio set up. Along with his professionalism and skills, he has a very welcoming personality and great sense of humour, all of which created a trusting, relaxed and fun environment for our photoshoot. We laughed and connected very quickly. It felt very natural and there was a sense of joy in both of us; him photographing me and I being the subject for his photography. His technical execution was second to none -all handled brilliantly!-, he looked after various details ensuring quality in every shot, he directed and coached me to produce the best end result that would make me happy in the end. I did some outfit changes, we reviewed the photos taken with each outfit, we chose the best photos and we were both happy with the results. I left his studio with a big smile, I was indeed very happy with the results of this photoshoot and I felt I had achieved my initial goals for my photoshoot. Craig kept me well informed of the editing process for the finished shots. He delivered on time and went beyond expectations and I was very happy with the results!
Surprisingly, Craig submitted one of his favourite photos from my photoshoot for a review at “The Headshot Crew” and won “The Headshot Of The Week” for the first time with that photo. How extraordinary it is to have a photo with the stamp of approval from the best of the best photographers in the world! As much as I appreciate him for thanking me for being his subject and client, I must thank him for creating the most amazing photo that I could have envisioned for my professional network. I feel honoured to have been part of this process and to have been photographed by him. Many congratulations to Craig for his well-deserved win.
Craig, thank you for creating the space and atmosphere for a fun photoshoot, which I will remember for the rest of my life.
If someone is in need of a headshot, wherever you are in your career and in your life, Craig is the man to do the job!
With best wishes, Marcelo Alvarenga.
