- WHo needs PROFESSIONAL headshots and when ? -

If you have a professional portfolio, then professional images are an absolute essential  to get yourself noticed.

You might feel like your own photos 'will be ok' to give an idea of how you look. Your portfolio is only the first step in the casting process, right? and the audition is where you'll get your chance to really shine.  Wrong . . . way before the audition stage, your headshot is the very first thing that anyone will see. With such stiff competition for every casting, your headshot can make all the difference between flicking straight to the next candidate or stopping to give you a closer look - and this is where investing in professional images will pay dividends.

Industry Insiders agree | "Good quality professional headshots get more attention from casting directors and attract more auditions "

So when should you book in for a photoshoot? Here at Screen Shots we believe in treating our clients ethically and before taking any booking, we want to make sure that it's a good investment for you and your career. Take a look at the guidance below to see whether a professional headshot session is the right move for you.

ACTORS

invest in professional shots if

- you have an active profile on an online casting site such as Spotlight

- you're aiming to get signed by one of the more highly contested talent agents

- you have recently changed your style, looks or haircut and need to update your headshots to reflect your current appearance

- your agent or representative advises that you need to refresh your portfolio

MODELS aged 18+

invest in professional shots if

- you're a freelance model looking to build or add to your portfolio with eye catching, professional imagery

- you're already registered with a modeling agency and are seeking professional images to start building or adding to your portfolio

- you have recently changed your style, looks or haircut and need to update your existing portfolio to reflect your current appearance

MODELS under 18

invest in professional shots if

- your child is already registered with a modeling agency and you're seeking professional images to start building their portfolio

- At least once a year to refresh an existing portfolio to reflect your child's current appearance

- you're struggling to obtain clear, well-lit images of a toddler/baby to submit to an agency and want to enlist the help of an experienced baby photographer  

Just starting out? Please note that most reputable modeling agencies DO NOT require professional photographs to apply to be on their books.

A professional photographer may be able to help with baby/toddler shots if you're struggling to obtain clear images by yourself. 
However, in most cases you don't need to invest in professional headshots until AFTER you've been accepted by an agency and are ready to start building your portfolio.
