How can you be sure you have the right kind of headshot photographer for you? You think it'd be as simple as looking at his or her work and seeing if you like it or not. If only it were that simple!
This is just a quick article, and a completely impartial one, I promise! I'm not trying to be an authority on this subject, just giving some friendly advice from a headshots photographer, to a potential headshot photographer london client!
You may love a photographer's work, but make sure the body of that work represents what you're looking for. The moody black and white portraiture you love might not suit your look or compliment the roles you go for as much as colour ones might. Similarly, if you love another photographers vibrant colourful headshots, they might again not suit you or the roles you're going to be casting for.
Really consider exactly what it is you're looking for in a headshots session. A london headshot photographer can bring out the very best in you and give you headshots that are going to ring in the parts again and again, but the best in you might not be the part-winning bit. Ever consider that!?
Get the photographer who can bring out the best part in you for actually winning parts. That's more than making your headshots look fabulous, it's about making your headshots look RELEVANT! Relevant to your market, relevant to the casting directors day, relevant to you as an actor. All of these things are more important than simply choosing a photographer just because you like him.
So that's all really, not much more to say. In summary, pick a headshots photographer carefully, and before doing so, make a list of exactly what you want to portray in your headshots, then search and look for those traits in the photographer's body of work. Really consider everything. The motivations behind the characters you intend to play, the parts of your own character you want to emphasise, etc.. Then go and look at the photographer's work, and see if his lighting and his approach to a shoot shows any signs of the qualities you've highlighted.
You'll find you spend your money a lot more wisely if you follow this process.
