π Why Acting Headshots Matter
In the entertainment industry, your headshot is your calling card. Itβs often the first impression a casting director, agent, or manager sees β and it can be the key to landing that next audition.
Thatβs why it's crucial to have a high-quality, natural-looking headshot that reflects your look and the roles youβre targeting. Whether you're aiming for commercial, theatrical, or film and TV roles, I create images that communicate confidence, professionalism, and character.
