A head shot is the actors marketing tool and there are three different types.The commercial composite, theatrical and commercial head shots. Each one is used for a different avenue in the industry.
It is a 8×10 photo of yourself in B&W from the shoulders up. However, with changing times and trends, I have seen them in color as well and the photos of the actor/actress have been in in three quarter length shots.When giving a head shot to a agent BE SURE to have your resume’ attached, flushed up against the back.“This is the only and proper way to present your head shot”
Your head shots need to be updated every four to six months and that includes the resume’ on the back. Remember, you must always appear in person the same way that you do in photo…
There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule!!!
