The key to the best actor headshot photography is authenticity.
Based in Los Angeles with over 18 years of experience, I create relaxed, judgment-free sessions focused on capturing professional images that feel natural and true to who you are on camera.

With a collaborative approach and personalized guidance, I specialize in actor headshots for film, television, and commercial auditions. Each session is designed to produce images that feel believable, grounded, and usable in real casting submissions.

Let’s work together to create professional headshots that represent you clearly and confidently in today’s casting landscape.

What to Expect During Your Headshot Session

A successful headshot session is built on preparation, communication, and a clear plan. By understanding your goals, I help you look confident, approachable, and camera-ready from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect when booking a professional headshot session with me:

1. Pre-Session Consultation

We’ll discuss your professional goals, wardrobe choices, and personal preferences to ensure your headshots align with your brand and image. Every detail is tailored to your needs.

2. Relaxed Photo Session

You’ll have a private, comfortable space for wardrobe adjustments and finishing touches. We’ll review your outfits and do a quick lighting test so you feel confident about your overall look. From there, I guide you through natural movement and expressions to capture authentic, effortless headshots that highlight your personality.

3. Delivery & Professional Retouching

Within one business day, you’ll receive a gallery of proofs to select your favorites. Optional same-day downloads of the entire session are available at no extra charge. My professional retouching enhances lighting, color, and sharpness while keeping skin tones natural and textures true to life. Final images are high-resolution and print-ready for acting profiles, submissions, and professional use.
