An actor's headshot is their business card: it is the first impression to casting directors, and a key element in booking auditions. That’s a fact.
Getting industry standard headshots is a must! And moreso, they need to stand out!
Working with an experienced headshot pro photographer that is required. However, it takes two to tango!
Actors need to know how to work with their photographers in order to capture headshots that make an impact and give casting directors the right idea about you as a performer.
Alex Henkelman will reveal the language that photographers use and the necessary requirements you will need before you arrive at your photo session.
What makes an impactful, industry standard headshot?
How do I emote states of being while not moving and being totally still?
How often should actors have their headshots taken?
How many different types of headshots does an actor need?
And the photo session? How different is it from regular on camera work?
What should an actor bring to a headshot session?
Photography is static, not motion picture. So working with the photographer is a skillset on it’s own. Alex Henkelman will answer all of these questions and more! Peripherally, the workshop will discuss promo shoots which include “red carpet” events, your likeness and self image on SM channels, including editorials!
Alex Henkelman is a photographer situated in Ottawa, Ontario, with over half a decade of experience! Primarily focusing on portraiture, he is always excited to expand his portfolio and work with new individuals, concepts and locations!
