Headshots

I had my headshots taken last Friday, the day after my first acting class. It was another very exciting event to take place. For those of you who don't know, headshots are a must in the acting business. It is what is sounds like - it's basically just a shot/picture of your head. In acting this is something that you need, especially just starting out. There are two different kinds of headshots: commercial and theatrical. A commercial headshot is more of a shot for commercial type work. It's the type of picture with a big smile. A theatrical headshot is more for theatrical type work, which is movies and television. It's a more serious picture.

I took my pictures with Elijah Star, who was recommended to me through Image Development. He is located in Manhattan Beach - so that was fun driving down near the ocean. I took about 10 different shirts and Elijah helped me pick about 5 that would be best to use for the pictures. It was a lot of fun. He took about 400 pictures and then gave me a disk with them all. Elijah said I was easy to work with and have great knowlege of what to do on camera - which I was very pleased (and a little surprised) to hear. Elijah was great to work with as well and I would recommend him to anyone.

I am now working with Elijah and Image Development to pick out a couple headshots to use. Image Development is going to pick which one they will use when they put me out on their September poster to all of the agencies. I am then going to pick about 3 different headshots that I will use, then Elijah will send them in and get them finished and get my final copy of my headshots back to me. Its all so exciting! Everything is developing smoothly and I can't wait to see how things will turn out!
