Preparing for head shots: If you’re an aspiring actor or actress, your headshot is the most important tool that you have. I just wanted to go over a few tips and tricks to prepare for your photo shoot with your photographer for your next headshot. Make sure you your beauty sleep in the night before. Write down the looks and styles you would like to accomplish during the head shot photo shoot. Prepare the outfits you will be wearing and iron your clothes beforehand. Have a lint remover handy.

Colors: If you’re still stumped on what to wear, I recommend bringing colors such as black, red, green, bright blue and pink. Any color that you have been complimented on before would be great.

Men: Men with facial hair should let their facial hair grow out for a rugged look, but also bring a shaver along for a clean look.

Women: Women should also bring along some high heels with straps. Make sure your hair is clean and groom your eyebrows.

I spent a day with Derrick to take some headshots for his acting portfolio. He’s a stunning Asian dude with style taking his acting career to the next level. When Derrick gets famous, he’ll look back and remember his photographer, hopefully. They usually tend to forget the little people like me once they get famous, *sigh*. I love photographing headshots once in a while for a change in pace compared to wedding photography.

I used all natural lighting in this headshot photo shoot and am really happy with the final results. Check it out.
