Question: Actors Headshot Preparation!?
I am going to be hiring a photographer for a headshot for a singing/acting career (not modeling shots)!. The photographer uses color and natural lighting only!. Is it a good idea to hire a makeup artist!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I had my hair and makeup professionally done for mine!.

Some words of advice:

Get both black and white and color!. Black and white looks much nicer and evens out skin tone, but a few auditions may specify you need a color head shot!.

Condense your resume to one page and glue it neatly onto the back of each headshot, so if it gets separated from your other paperwork they know just who you are!.

Wear a simple, solid colored top!.

You may choose to get two poses!.!.!.one shot with a broad smile and jovial look to use for comedies, one with a more serious attitude for dramatic shows!.

Hope this helps!.!.!.works for me!Www@QuestionHome@Com
