Actor�s portfolio photos! It�s the single most important promotional tool for an actor, and it�s amazing how many people do it wrong. Take my advice; it�s time to take it more seriously. When your headshots
Portfolio photograph tips for actors and talent
Most Important
- Your headshot and other profile pictures should look like you - exactly how you would show up for an audition
- Remember your photo has to sell your looks and personality
- Go to a professional portfolio photographer. Don�t be stingy or if you are financially tight, get fewer looks rather than multiple ones. A good studio or a The good photographer in Mumbai may cost you anywhere from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 50,000 (inclusive of makeup and wardrobe?), though there are plenty of cheaper ones also looking for a kill.
Your eyes
Just like with on-camera acting, it�s all about the eyes, and what�s happening behind them. It�s your close-up, your moment. Your eyes should be perfectly in focus, alive, and energized, and not dead. There should be strong inner thoughts, implying a backstory and a life behind the eyes. A strong piercing eyes will bring a picture to life and help it stand out among hundreds. This can be done by your �imagination� to be in a particular imaginary or observed character.
Warning: Never, never and never hide your eyes with dark glasses. This is most irritating to the casting directors.
Outdoor vs. Studio
Some photographers do both, as they offer a different look and feel. Natural light gives a very real, a �film� look, which I prefer. Studio lighting tends to be a little more polished, with a more neutral backdrop. Both can be wonderful. What I would suggest is to have a combination of few outdoor and studio looks, if possible.
General Tips
- Tell photographer your expectations and intentions. Let them know what kind of look you want
- Drink lots of water and be well rested (so your eyes will not have dark circles)
- Your skin might not look best after drug/alcohol use. Try to abstain from these before
your - Arrive on time.
