For your total peace of mind
If you are not happy with the results of your photo shoot we will give you a complete refund.
We always shoot in colour and convert the images into BW if required by our clients. The question is do you submit colour or BW shots. Generally US based castings and auditions require a colour headshot.
In the UK, BW and colour are both used and it might be worth asking if the agent has a preference. Most websites now allow you to post several pictures, so a mixture of BW and colour should be submitted.

Engaging eye contact is a must for effective headshots.
We suggest looking just above the lens at the 'Canon' or 'Nikon' name plate on the camera. Most faces and eyes are unsymmetrical which is why you have a 'good' side and a 'bad' side. Being photographed in 3/4 profile solves this problem. A handy hint for looking good is to smile with your eyes. In effect. this means squinting ever so slightly with your bottom eye lids only. Caution, if you overdo this you will end up looking like a certain Mr Eastwood.
Even experienced actors have trouble in relaxing and getting the perfect the headshot.
Top Tip - Do forget your posture. From a sitting position, shoulders back and sit up straight. Now, lean forward slightly at the waist and bringing your forehead closer to the camera. This pose will give you a nice strong jaw line and get rid of wrinkly necks and double chins. Think of ET or a turtle sticking it's head out of it's shell
Do the Turtle!
Practice this pose in the mirror. It can feel terribly awkward but it works wonders in front of a camera.
Our advice is to make use of your time in our photo studios and come away with a range of shots, keeping your options open for a variety of casting choices.
