Frequently Asked Questions
What looks should I am for?
For a single 30-minute session, you get one dedicated look—whether it’s commercial, theatrical, corporate, or character-based.
Want multiple looks? Book additional 30-minute sessions to capture a variety of headshots, such as:
📸 Commercial Look – Bright, approachable, and full of smiles. Think layers, polo shirts, or casual business attire.
🎭 Theatrical Look – A natural, authentic representation of you, perfect for film and TV roles.
👔 Corporate Look – A polished, professional headshot in a suit or business attire for corporate branding.
🎭 Character Look – Capture a unique archetype, like a sleazy salesperson, quirky neighbor, stern authority figure, or any fun persona.
👉 Each 30-minute session is for one look only—book multiple sessions to build a versatile portfolio! 🚀
When Will I Get My Shots? Within 24 hours, guaranteeing swift access to your images.
Do You Shoot Corporate or Just Actors and Artists? I cater to everyone!
Natural Light Shoots: Our natural light sessions take place just 5 minutes from the iconic Capitol Records building, in a quiet, tucked-away spot in the Hollywood Hills. The exact location is a bit of a hidden gem—it will be shared with you after booking.
This is an on-location shoot, which means wardrobe changes happen street-side or in your car. While the spot is technically public, there’s very little foot traffic, so you’ll still feel comfortable and focused during your session.
Pre-Shoot Preparation? Sending a brief note with your Instagram and desired “looks” is optional but recommended for a tailored session.
Makeup Artist? For the best results, I recommend arriving camera-ready or booking an additional slot if you’re bringing a makeup artist. This ensures ample time for makeup application and your photo session, allowing for a variety of looks. Please inform in advance if a makeup artist will accompany you.
Fitness Shots? Capture your fitness achievements with professional flair. I welcome male shirtless photos or bathing suit shots.
Corporate & Social Media Shoots? Absolutely!
Retouching? Only $20 per image! In an era where AI imagery and deepfakes are prevalent, casting professionals prefer authenticity. My retouching services are tailored to enhance your true self, aiming to present you naturally—like you on your best day, without transforming you into a totally filtered, avatar-like version. This approach aligns with current industry preferences, moving away from overly processed images to more genuine representations. I focus on refining your photos by addressing blemishes, acne, and slight skin discoloration, ensuring you look your absolute best without compromising your natural essence. The goal is to enhance your appearance subtly and tastefully, ensuring that your headshots reflect the real you, not an over-edited version. All retouches are final.
Selection Assistance? Certainly, for $100/hour with a 1-hour minimum, I can offer a refined selection of shots from your session.
Payment, Deposit, and Cancellation? Upon making an appointment, your card will be swiped. You may edit your appointment as often as you’d like through your confirmation email, but you must cancel 24 hours in advance, or you will be charged a non-refundable cancellation fee equal to the price of the shoot you booked. Remember to use your confirmation email to manage your appointment. If you’re running late, you could lose some shooting time, so please be punctual! If you are more than 20 minutes late, I reserve the right to cancel the shoot, and you will be charged the full fee of the shoot as a no-show. In certain instances, where there is a genuine emergency, I will consider allowing you to reschedule at a discounted rate. I accept all major credit cards, cash, Apple Pay, and Venmo. Payment is due at the end of the shoot.
Raining Outside? Light drizzle is not a problem. My main shooting location has a substantial overhead roof that is rainproof! However, I recommend bringing an umbrella for your short walk from your car; I’ll have an extra one just in case. If it’s raining heavily, we might need to reschedule.
Social Media & Copyright? You are welcome to use all images for social media, personal and business websites, flyers, and all casting needs. For extensive advertising purposes such as book covers, billboards, TV commercials, etc., please get in touch to discuss. I ensure that advertising usage fees are kept reasonable. I kindly ask you to credit all social media posts to @actorphotola. Unless specified otherwise by you, your photos may be featured on our website or social media platforms.
Essential Looks for Actors:
- Layers are Key: Changing layers can significantly alter your appearance. (Tip: If you wear glasses, consider removing the lenses to avoid glare.)
- Corporate/Professional: Women should consider pantsuits, skirt suits, or business dresses with colorful shirts. Men can opt for suits, ties, and pressed, colorful collared shirts.
- Commercial: Think layers, jean jackets, colorful T-shirts, and tops. Aim for a cheerful demeanor.
- Theatrical: Be the most authentic version of yourself. Your favorite shirt might just be the perfect choice.
- Comedic/Character: Embrace quirky, fun, and colorful styles. Glasses can add a nice touch.
- Sleazy: Women might explore fishnets, animal prints, or edgy leather jackets. Men can try bold, colorful shirts or thrift store finds.
- Tough/Criminal: Embrace gold, bling, leather, and flashy attire.
- Period Pieces: Ready some outfits that represent different eras, as many productions are set in specific historical periods.
- Athletic: Women can wear yoga or pilates attire, and men might consider shirtless or body shots.
- Tech: Nerdy chic with glasses and buttoned-up shirts works well.
- Blue Collar: A flannel or denim shirt, possibly with facial scruff for men, fits this category.
- Edgy: A leather jacket and messy hair can create a grungy look.
- Down and Out/Homeless: Opt for old, possibly dirty, baggy clothes.
- Sexy: If it fits your brand, flaunt your best features!
- Military: Simple, dark green shirts work well for a military vibe.
- Trashy: Think tank tops, messy makeup, or a “morning after” look.
These looks serve as your arsenal for casting, helping you target submissions effectively. Remember, the more versatile your headshot portfolio, the broader the range of roles you can audition for.
