But, in Los Angeles alone, there are more than 1,200 to choose from. If you\u2019ve finally created a short-list of those you want to work with, there are at least five questions to ask to properly vet a headshot photographer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. &#8220;Do You Have a Commercial Studio?&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s important to know if a photographer has a studio to use and whether it\u2019s a commercial location or at their residence. It\u2019s not necessarily bad if a photographer only has a residential studio. But, going to someone\u2019s house instead of a commercial location can be uncomfortable for some people, especially if it wasn\u2019t known up-front. So, ask if their studio is in a commercial building or not.<\/p>\n<p>If they don\u2019t have a studio at all you\u2019ll need to ask more questions. Where does that photographer then shoot headshots? Do they rent a studio? Do they use some outdoors location and is it permissible? It\u2019s also very likely that a photographer without a studio will be far more limited in what gear they can use for a headshot session. More on gear later.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. &#8220;May I See Your Headshots Portfolio?&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Reviewing a headshot photographer\u2019s portfolio is essential but, how you do it is likely more important. Do not review a portfolio on your smartphone or tablet. It\u2019s easy for photos to look decent on a small screen like that of a phone.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s likely that when business decisions are being made about your headshot, they are being done on a large desktop monitor or laptop. This can include a casting director considering your headshot for a role. So, don\u2019t make the mistake of not doing the same. In a nutshell, to properly evaluate the quality of a photographer\u2019s photo, it can only accurately be done on a large desktop or laptop monitor. Here, you can more easily uncover quality factors like sharpness, color accuracy and more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_141895\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-141895\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-141895 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/headshot-example.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/headshot-example.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.dailyactor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/headshot-example-160x200.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-141895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evaluate a Photographer\u2019s Portfolio for Being Capable of Commercial and Theatrical \u2013 Such As This Example \u2013 Headshots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>3. &#8220;What Is Included with Your Packages or Sessions?&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What photographers offer in their packages and sessions can vary quite dramatically. Some headshot photographers may not do retouching at all. Some include retouching while others might do so as an added cost. Retouching is important for actors because they need to look their best without altering their look. So, can the photographer edit out that bit of acne that popped up the day before? Can they get rid of that fly-away hair you didn\u2019t catch? And, is this going to cost you extra?<\/p>\n<p>Some might have a set amount of time per session while others might have a set number of photos per session. These details are important to ask about before you set an appointment. When taken and considered alongside their rates and quality of their portfolio, you can better determine which headshot photographers are providing better value.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. &#8220;Can You Do Commercial and Theatrical Looks?&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most actors want commercial and theatrical looks and it can be convenient if you find a photographer that can do both. But, the difference between a commercial and theatrical headshot should not only be whether an actor is smiling or not.<\/p>\n<p>How an actor is lit plays a big role in creating high-quality commercial and theatrical headshots. If you work with a photographer that understands studio lighting, the dramatic differences between these two types of looks can help an actor stand out. It\u2019s also not just about how different the actor is illuminated, how the background is illuminated also factors into the overall look of a commercial versus theatrical shot.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. &#8220;What Gear Do You Shoot With and Why?&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you know a little bit about camera and lighting gear, asking your photographer what gear they use and why can be telling. Starting with the camera, ask them what model they use and why they selected it? Ask them what lenses they prefer for headshots and why? As for lighting, ask them what model they use and why they chose it.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know about such gear, tell the photographer up front. \u201cI\u2019m not too familiar with cameras but, what model do you use and why?\u201d It\u2019s likely a photographer that understands camera gear will be able to decipher their answer for you and this can be telling.<\/p>\n<p>Also, while you might not know about gear, asking them about their camera, lenses and lights gives you the opportunity to see if they stumble about their answers. This too can be telling because while you might not know about gear, it\u2019s more obvious to tell if someone is having trouble answering a few questions they should be professional about.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do Your Homework on a Headshot Photographer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Short of obvious questions, like what are your rates and what city are you located in, these five questions can help your short list of 10 or so photographers become that one you want to work with. It\u2019s important to be sure of your photographer since the headshot is of upmost importance to an actor\u2019s career. Furthermore, some headshot photographers can be expensive.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be expensive to your career to have bad headshots because you believed you were working with a good headshot photographer. But, with a little homework done, an actor can feel more confident about their chosen headshot photographer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Rafael Larin is headshot photographer and was recently named as a top one-percent best portrait photographers in Los Angeles from among more than 1,200 researched by Expertise.com.
