Actor Headshots
Headshots for those in the acting, theatrics, and performance arts industry are run the gamut from business to creative. A performer is well-advised to have a variety of current professional photographs for use on short notice, so when that opportunity arrives, you are well-prepared to take it.
A typical "Playbill" type headshot is from the chest up with good side-angle lighting on the face with little dramatic shadows and a solid white or black background. An artist usually keeps a few stock photos for submission for roles, and incudes standard headshots, three quarter or half body shots, and a few with both serious and happy emotions.
Personality Headshots
The key to a good creative headshot is that your personality and unique abilities stand out. Its a fine line between creating a creative headshot, and one that goes beyond the expectations of hiring managers and producers. Many acting talent agents set standard requirements for submission of headshots on a project, it is critical to follow the standard expectations of the submission, while still standing out from the crowd.

To simply take one headshot, with one facial expression, is a wasted opportunity. At North River Photography, we encourage you to express a range of emotions throughout the shoot, so you have the photographs in your actor's "tool box" to use as the need arises.
