Actors Head Shots
September 22, 2009
Actors head shots are a funny thing to shoot. Looking at the images on Spotlight, the style of photography for the headshots that are required for actors, doesn’t really have seemed to have changed for a very long time.
Its also a big challenge to try and capture someones versatility in one shot, knowing that this image will be used for a few years and will be the picture that may or may not get them work.
Saying all of that, we’ve just had to lovely people come to the studio looking for shots for them. Both are Brighton actors who’s credits include such cult TV as Minder, The Sweeney, Dr. Who, EastEnders, The Proffesional and Grange Hill.
So we did a head shot session for them with the classic 10×8 format. After that shot was in the bag and they were happy, we did a few different set ups to give them something else to use should they need it.
