What to expect at your acting headshot session
Sessions take place in our studio in Franklin, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. Before your shoot we’ll talk through the roles you’re submitting for, so every look is built for casting, not just a nice portrait.
Most actors need at least two contrasting looks: a bright, approachable commercial look and a moodier theatrical look. A character look can show casting directors you fit a specific type. We give you wardrobe guidance for each one, then adjust lighting and direction as you change looks.
You’ll pick your favorite images right after the session, and your professionally retouched headshots are delivered within 5 business days, ready for casting profiles, submissions, and auditions.
