Actor Headshots in New Orleans
Professional actor headshots should look like you—confident, natural and ready to be cast.
I create actor headshots in New Orleans for performers who need strong, current images for auditions, casting profiles, agency submissions, and actor profiles.
Whether you need a clean commercial look, a more dramatic theatrical headshot or both, we'll create images that feel authentic to you.

Headshots Made for Actors
Actor headshots have a different job than traditional business portraits. Casting professionals need to quickly see your face, personality and range.
Your session is focused on:
-
Natural expressions
-
Strong eye contact
-
Clean lighting
-
Simple backgrounds
-
Wardrobe variations
-
Commercial and theatrical looks
-
Casting-friendly crops
The goal is simple: a headshot that looks like you on your best day.
Commercial Headshots
Bright, approachable and expressive.
Commercial headshots work well for advertising, lifestyle roles, television and other projects where personality and relatability matter.
Theatrical Headshots
More focused, dramatic and character-driven.
Theatrical headshots are designed to show depth and presence for film, television and dramatic roles.
We can photograph both styles during your session when appropriate.
Actor Headshot Session Pricing
Actor headshot sessions can be tailored for a single casting-ready look or additional commercial and theatrical variations. Session length, wardrobe changes, and the number of professionally retouched images depend on the session selected.
What to Expect During Your Actor Headshot Session
I keep sessions relaxed and straightforward.
We'll work through different expressions, angles and wardrobe options while making small adjustments to posture, chin position and facial expression.
You don't need to know how to pose.
I'll guide you through the session so we can create a variety of images without making them feel stiff or overly posed.
What to Wear for Actor Headshots
Keep wardrobe simple and let your face do the work.
Good options include:
-
Solid colors
-
Simple necklines
-
Layers such as jackets or overshirts
-
Clothing that fits your casting type
-
Minimal distracting patterns
Bring a few different options and we can decide what photographs best.
Avoid clothing that competes with your face.
