Actor Headshots Near Calabasas & Woodland Hills

Your headshot is often your first introduction to a casting director, agent, or manager. I’ll help you create photographs that feel natural, confident, and genuinely like you.

Commercial headshots are generally brighter, warmer, and more approachable—friendly, energetic, relatable, and engaging.

Theatrical headshots usually carry more depth and intensity. Depending on your casting, that might feel confident, dramatic, thoughtful, authoritative, mysterious, or vulnerable.

Many actors need both. We’ll change expression, wardrobe, lighting, and background while making sure every photograph still looks unmistakably like you.

You don’t need to arrive knowing what to do with your face, shoulders, or hands. That’s my job.

I’ll guide you through positioning, posture, and expression, then we’ll review photographs together as we shoot. We’ll make small adjustments and keep going until the images feel right.

The session is collaborative—not you standing alone in front of a camera hoping something works.

Small changes completely alter how a headshot feels. We’ll explore different energies instead of repeating the same smile.

We’ll discuss the roles you’re pursuing and create images that support your casting without turning you into a character.

Colors, necklines, jackets, layers, and texture subtly change perception. We’ll choose options that complement you.

Lighting and backgrounds help distinguish commercial, theatrical, and additional looks while keeping attention on your face.

Keep it simple. Your wardrobe should suggest who you are and where you might fit without looking like a costume.

Solid colors, jackets, sweaters, T-shirts, button-downs, simple tops, and layers generally photograph well. Avoid large logos and extremely busy patterns that compete with your face.

You do not have to make every wardrobe decision before you arrive. Bring several possibilities and we’ll look through them together. It’s easier to leave something on the rack than wish we had brought it.

Keep hair and makeup natural and consistent with how you normally present yourself at an audition. The goal isn’t to transform you; casting should recognize you when you walk into the room.

You’re welcome to arrive camera-ready. If you prefer professional help, ask about hair and makeup artist availability and current pricing when you book.

Either way, think polished—not dramatically different.

Photograph commercial and theatrical styles with multiple wardrobe, background, and expression options. Your session includes guided posing and expression, collaborative image review, and a private proof gallery. Every selected final receives professional retouching.

Every selected final image receives professional retouching, but the finished photograph should still look like you.

I’ll clean up temporary blemishes, stray hairs, clothing distractions, and small things that don’t need to be there while keeping your skin and features natural.

You don’t need an agent, a long résumé, or years of experience before getting professional acting headshots.

If these are your first, I’ll explain commercial and theatrical photographs, help with wardrobe choices, clarify what we want from each setup, and guide you through the session before we begin shooting.

You’ll know what we’re doing and why—one step at a time.

Whether these are your first professional acting headshots or it’s simply time for an update, I’ll help you create photographs that feel natural, confident, and genuinely like you.

Tell me about the roles you’re pursuing and what you need from your new headshots. We’ll take it from there.
