Within an agreed upon time after your head shot photography session, your photographer will provide you with the photos. Study each image carefully and decide which one you want to use for your head shot. Don’t be afraid to ask your agent or manager to recommend the best images.

After you’ve chosen a particular image and any needed retouch is completed, the next step is to post those head shots to sites that represent you and your work. Chapter 7 identifies the sites we recommend.

You can’t use the same name as a famous celebrity, even if your real name happens to be Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts. That’s because no one wants to think that the “real” Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts is appearing in a film when it’s really an unknown actor with the same name. Check with the Screen Actors Guild and Actors’ Equity to see if your real name or stage name is already taken. If so, you may have to change it slightly, such as using your formal name (Thomas Cruise instead of Tom Cruise), an informal version of your name (such as Julie Roberts instead of Julia Roberts), or adding or dropping a middle name or initial (such as Samuel Jackson instead of Samuel L. Jackson).
