Q: How to choose a photographer for your headshot portfolio?

You should take care in selecting a professional headshot photographer that specialized in headshot photography. Have a look through their portfolio to ensure that they are experienced.

Q: Which is better for your headshot, studio or natural light?

The majority of my photo shoots are done outside using natural light. However, I also typically use a couple of portable strobes for hair and side lighting. (Please know that depending on the weather, natural light may not be the best choice for your photography session).

Q: How long will my acting headshot session be?

I allow four hours for each photography session, including hair and makeup. Since men don’t need the time for makeup, their sessions are usually closer to two hours. On average, I can provide you with 250-350 high res images during this time frame.

Q: Do I really need a professional hair and makeup artist for my headshot?

I highly encourage you to use my wonderful hair and makeup artists Krista Howard http://kristahoward.com/, Amanda Gangoso web.me.com/a.gangoso/makeup and Alla Cristina H www.AchMakeupArtistry.com. We have been working together with terrific results for the past seven years. Both girls usually stay for a portion of the session as well, making sure you always look your best.

Finally: don’t stress. Headshots should be fun–and I’ll do everything possible to make you feel as comfortable and relaxed as I can.
