Photographing actors' headshots is not so
straightforward as one might think. Not only
do you have to call in a make up and hair
stylist, but you have to think about clothing,
and backgrounds, and lighting and then after
you have 300 shots, you have to pick out the
best half dozen or so that show the actor's
face to best advantage. So that means
trying a lot of expressions and poses.
And you can spend a lot of time retouching.
Key things to keep in mind: get him or her
relaxed and keep the shoot fun. Keep that light
in the eyes. Shoot verticals and horizontals.
It's mostly about the character showing in your
photos.
