Same Young Actor, Different Looks
Scroll through these fun examples of actors under 18 who opted for multiple looks during their session! Several looks can be a big bonus if your young actor plans to audition for theater productions and also film or commercial. In the Orlando market, having at least two looks is important for your agency to market your child’s range and abilities. With the parks, commercial market, and theater opportunities in Orlando, I always recommend going for 2-3 looks, as each market requires a different style of headshot to stand out.
When you book a session with more than one look, make sure your child’s outfits are different, but remain youthful. Patterns, bright colors, and fun layers make children’s acting headshots some of the most vibrant you can achieve in the studio! If you are unsure exactly what your child should wear for their session, contact your coach or agency for their guidance. They know your particular market and what casting directors like to see.
Film & Theater Trio
Addison is on the stage regularly and is now starting her film acting career as well! We wanted to capture a strong theatrical look, as well as a copule of versatile commercial headshots so her talent agency had a good starting place to work with.
Indoor & Outdoor
I’ve found that agencies and casting directors love outdoor photos of younger actors, as well as a studio look that is youthful and light-hearted. Though it looks like natural light, I use professional studio lighting even outside so I can control the light exactly and get those eyes to really pop!
Two-Look Acting Headshot Sessions
Most often, a child actor, young actor, and even teen actor only need a two-look session to stay updated. Because young actors need headshots at least every year (and even more when they are going through growth spurts, hair cuts, and other changes), a 2-look session will get the job done well. Two different looks allow for a true theatrical look, since young actors are often on the stage, and also allow for a film look. 2 looks also work great to capture different types of characters for film acting.
These types of headshots are different, so if your child or student is in both theater and film, I strongly recommend at least 2 looks. Casting directors for the stage and directors for the camera look for different things in headshots. Clothing, backdrop, and even lighting can make a big impact and communicate something directly to those very important people in a young actor’s field.
Four Looks
Can you believe what a beautiful, stunning variety of looks we captured with Michelle? She is on stage often, so we provided a strong, simple theatrical look on a simple gray backdrop, similar to what the New York market likes to see, but also captured some light-hearted and clean commercial looks for her film auditions in Florida.
