As an actor, your headshots are not just a visual representation of yourself; they are your calling card, your key to getting discovered and unlocking new opportunities in the industry. At Green and Gold Photography, we understand the significance of having headshots that truly capture your essence and showcase your acting range. That's why we've crafted a meticulous actor headshot process that goes beyond just the scheduled session to deliver exceptional results, tailored to your unique needs.
Step 1: The Planning Stage
Our standard headshots begin with a 20-minute consultation call at least one week prior to your session. We dive deep into your acting goals, the character types you want to portray, and actors who inspire you. This meeting is the foundation of our collaboration, as it helps us understand your vision and create a plan that aligns perfectly with it. We don't just take headshots; we capture characters.
During this call, we'll also discuss your preferred outfits, any specific themes you have in mind, and the overall look and feel you want to achieve. Whether you're looking for a dramatic, theatrical, or commercial headshot, we're here to bring your acting range to life.
Step 2: Booking Your Session
After our consultation call, you’ll secure your session with a $100 retainer. This deposit is required to schedule your session and is non-refundable, but it will be deducted from your final total. This ensures that we can confidently book out the time for you on our calendar, as there are no time limits on our sessions, we only ever book out one session in a day.
Step 3: The Custom Proposal
Once your session is booked, we'll craft a custom proposal unique to you based on our call. We don't send out generic proposals, instead we create personalized packets based on the insights we gained during our call. This means you'll receive a selection of sample images that inspire us and align with your vision.
At Green and Gold Photography, we believe that your headshots should be a reflection of your unique range and talents. That's why we take the time to understand your individual needs and create a proposal that truly resonates with you.
Step 4: The Shoot Day
Finally, the day of your headshot session arrives! We invite you to our cozy studio, where we've created a warm and inviting atmosphere to help you feel at ease. Unlike other studios that rush through sessions, we take our time. There's no time limit set on our sessions, allowing us to capture a variety of unique looks tailored to your personality.
Our studio is equipped with a live feed monitor, so you can preview the images as we capture them. This way, we can ensure that we're getting the perfect headshots that align with your goals. You'll have the opportunity to see yourself in different poses, expressions, and lighting set ups, and make any adjustments you'd like.
With a background in directing and film, Green and Gold Photography brings a cinematic approach to your headshots. We believe that headshots should be more than just a photo; they should be a visual story that captures your essence and draws viewers in. Our directing experience allows us to guide you through poses and expressions that bring out your natural acting talent.
Step 5: Receiving Your Gallery
About a week after your photoshoot, you'll receive a color-corrected gallery of approximately 50 images per look. (2 looks = 100+ images, 4 looks = 200+, etc) The high-resolution gallery will be immediately available for download, so you can share your stunning headshots with the world right away.
We take pride in delivering high-quality images that showcase your true potential as an actor. But we don't stop there. We also offer retouching services to enhance your images and make them even more polished.
Step 6: The Finishing Touches
Once you've selected your image(s) for retouching, we'll take about a week to return the finished headshots completely retouched. Our retouching services are designed to enhance your natural beauty and make your images look their absolute best. Learn more about our retouching process here.
