Your head shot may be the first (and, in many cases, the only) impression casting directors get of you, so your head shot needs to present you at your best. To get the best head shot possible, you need the following:

 You all by yourself, looking neatly groomed and well rested. (Leave the kids, pets, relatives, and friends at home.)

 Clothes that fit, are currently in style, and won’t distract from your face.

 The best head shot photographer you can find. Look for examples of the photographer’s work and any current known celebrities that photographer may have photographed. Many professional photographers have a website to showcase their portfolio.

Note that if you’re taking a picture of a young child, use your own pictures because your child’s looks change rapidly.

The following sections help you create the perfect head shot by hiring a professional photographer to take the photos, selecting the right look, and ensuring you use the photo session to ultimately get what you want.
