actor headshots

Professional performer portraits

Actor headshots are professional photographs of an actor's face and shoulders, used for auditions and casting.

They serve as a visual résumé, showing casting directors what the actor looks like on camera.

A good headshot captures personality and type—the roles the actor might plausibly play: She updated her headshots after changing her hair.

The industry standard is an 8×10 print, though digital submissions now dominate.
