Long Island Headshots/New York Actor Headshots

Long Island Headshots/New York Actor Headshots

As you may already know by now, I love taking headshots for actors, dancers and musicians.  There is so much incredible talent out there and it is always great to be able to meet such talented people and to work with them on their headshots.  Some of the actors that I meet are fairly new to the business while others are veterans that are simply looking to update their headshots.  If you are an actor, it is always a good idea to get updated headshots every two years, especially if your appearance has changed, i.e., you have a new hairstyle, changed the color of your hair, you got braces, you grew a beard, or any other change in facial appearance.  Your headshot should look like you normally look like every day of the  year.  When  you are called in to an audition, casting directors would like you to look like the headshot  you submitted.  Hence it is important that you do not appear over glammed up for your headshot photo session.  Although hair and make-up is important for your photo shoot, and you may decide to get  your hair and/or make-up done by a professional, you will still want to be able to easily replicate the look of  your headshot on the day of your audition.  So if you normally wear straight hair for your auditions, you will want to keep your hair straight for your headshot session.   So, do you need to hire a hair and/or make-up artist?   I think it is always a good idea especially for women, especially when it comes to make-up.  I know that I myself,  always find that when somebody else does my hair and make-up it always comes out a bit more “polished”.    I normally wear my hair straight and I love to treat myself to a professional blowing out my hair or flattening it out.  And even though i know how to put make-up on, I always prefer a professional to do it especially for pictures.     Here are some photos from a recent actor’s headshot session.  This young lady contacted me a couple of weeks ago for a headshot session.  She is an aspiring young actress who is really excited about pursuing her dream of being an actress.  Since she told me that she normally does not wear any make-up, we kept her make-up looking fairly natural so that she still looks like herself when she goes for auditions.

New York Headshots Photography/NYC Photo Shoot

New York Headshots Photography/NYC Photo Shoot 

Although it may be cold out right now I am looking forward to warmer days so that I can shoot  outdoor sessions again.  But for now shooting will have to remain indoors.  Here are some headshots taken indoors in New York.  I often get asked where I offer my headshot sessions.  I generally offer my services within the 5 boroughs including Queens and Manhattan, in addition to Nassau County and Suffolk County, Long Island.  We can shoot indoors or outdoors, or both.  It totally depends on your preference and what kind of look you are looking for.  Weather is definitely a factor when scheduling an outdoor session and these sessions are typically scheduled for the late afternoon/early evening hours in order to take advantage of the best lighting.

Need to update your corporate or acting headshot(s)?  Or do you just want a good profile pic for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and/or dating website(s)?  Fill out the contact form and I will be happy to send you more information.

Long Island, NY Headshots/Gina’s Headshot Session

A couple of weeks ago I received a phone call from Gina who was looking to get some headshots  taken for her soon to be released new book, Blood Ties.  She mentioned to me how she absolutely hated having her picture taken but i quickly reassured her that we would have plenty of time to take several shots for her to choose from.  We had a beautiful day to shoot outdoors by Newbridge Road Park and Gina totally rocked her session.  Here are a few of her favorites from the session and some of mine.  I have read an excerpt from the book and it looks like it’s going to be a great read especially if you are into paranormal romance.  For more on Gina’s book and to stay up to date with the book release, you can follow her here on Twitter .
