Professional Acting Headshots in NYC & New Jersey – For Kids, Teens, Adults & Seniors
Whether you're submitting for a casting call, applying to drama school, or updating your actor portfolio, a strong headshot is essential. As a professional headshot photographer in NYC and New Jersey, I specialize in creating acting headshots that help you stand out — no matter your age or experience level.
At Alex Kaplan Photography, we provide custom headshot sessions for actors of all ages — including babies, kids, teens, adults, and seniors — tailored to showcase your personality, energy, and range.
🎭 Why Acting Headshots Matter
In the entertainment industry, your headshot is your calling card. It’s often the first impression a casting director, agent, or manager sees — and it can be the key to landing that next audition.
That’s why it's crucial to have a high-quality, natural-looking headshot that reflects your look and the roles you’re targeting. Whether you're aiming for commercial, theatrical, or film and TV roles, I create images that communicate confidence, professionalism, and character.
