actor headshot
Performer's promotional portrait
An actor headshot is a professional photograph of an actor's face and shoulders, used for casting submissions and promotional materials.
The image typically shows the subject against a neutral background with natural lighting, aiming to capture their appearance authentically rather than glamorously: Her agent said she needed new headshots.
The term extends to similar portraits for models, business professionals, and online profiles.
