SIGNED WITH TALENT MANAGER! ACTOR HEADSHOTS

Image
Congratulations to this beautiful actress who just signed with an LA talent manager! This actress lives out of state and will now have the opportunity to audition for tv and film roles that cast in LA. Fortunately she will be able to "self tape" the auditions and send them in from home. She came to LA recently to update her headshots because she was very happy with her last shots that we did. In fact, the photo above is from her last acting headshot session. I haven't had a chance to get her new headshots edited yet, but will post them once they are ready in a future blog. In any case, this trip to come out and update her headshots turned into some wonderful success as I was able to connect her and her parents to the talent manager. I often have talent managers reach out to me seeking new faces. If you are seeking representation with either an talent manager or talent agent or both, we often can help. Schedule your headshot session and either myself or someone from our

Teenage Modeling and Acting Headshots

Headshot photographers in LA each have their own style. My partner at the studio loves to pull out a bit of gritiness and edge. I like to hone in on the eyes and have a bit more crisp and bright popping look. Here are examples of teen acting and modeling headshots... Teen modeling and acting headshots may show the full body, a 3/4 look or a close up. I've found most agents to select a range of close ups. They want images that show the eyes, skin and hair well especially since casting is done online and the first thing a modeling casting agent will see is a thumbnail. They can see a lot about the teen model in the face...the confidence, the beauty, the unique traits such as freckles, tooth gap, tiger eyes as well as exotic features. As a headshot photographer I like to provide plenty of shots that show the eyes and how the model can smize or emote. This type of teen headshot will surely catch the attention of a casting director because it pulls you in. You can practice smizing

CASTING STORIES

Here's a fascinating casting story from one of the most iconic family films of our times. The audition tape has over 32 million views and can be seen at the link below. Get your Kleenex ready...it's very moving. The casting story (told by the casting director Marci Liroff ) is very interesting. There are two short videos and I recommend watching both. Enjoy! "How ET found it's Elliott" "Original Uncut Audition" And how can this help actors? Note "improv" and "able to get along with others easily". As much as the media likes to promote stories that celebrities can be difficult, it seems that directors like to work with nice people who get along well with others. And one other note...a powerful audition that engages the audience WILL get noticed! Ready to get more auditions? Keep your headshots fresh and email the team robin@robinlorraine.com to schedule.

CHILD HEADSHOTS AND MODELING PHOTOSHOOT

Child models need headshots but also they need a variety of looks which show their unique features and their body type. A child modeleling portfolio will have close up headshots, as well as three quarter shots and full body shots. A child modeling agency will want to show the child from different angles and poses so the client can get a feel for the child model. Many of our clients have booked directly off their child modeling headshots without even having to audition. In the industry this is referred to as a "direct booking". And it's a wonderful day to get a call that your child booked directly off their kids headshots and doesn't even need to audition. Here are some child modeling headshots... ...from a recent child headshot and modeling photoshoot. Each of her child modeling headshots show different poses, different looks, different expressions and a variety of types that she can play as well as print modeling photos. A child modeling headshot should show off the
