Long Island Actor Headshots
That Get You NoticeD
Book Your Session
In a casting director's inbox, your headshot is your first and often only chance to make an impression. It needs to be more than a great photo.
It needs to be a truthful, expressive introduction to who you are as an artist. I create industry-ready actor headshots for performers throughout Long Island, with a collaborative process designed to capture confidence, authenticity, and presence.
Commercial and Theatrical Headshots That Show Your Range
Actors need both commercial and theatrical looks to stay competitive. A commercial headshot highlights your inviting, natural personality. A theatrical headshot reveals depth and emotional presence. During your session, we build both styles with guided expression, clean lighting, and subtle adjustments that help casting directors see your true range and type.
You will see your images during the session, which provides immediate feedback and ensures we are capturing your strongest looks.
What Casting Directors Want to See
Casting directors look for clarity, personality, and connection. Your headshot should communicate all three within a split second. These are the qualities that matter most:
- Authentic Expression: Real, grounded emotion that reflects your type and personality.
- Eyes That Connect: Sharp focus and natural eye contact that hold attention.
- Zero Distractions: Clean lighting and simple backgrounds that keep the focus on you.
- Looks Like You: Natural, professional retouching that preserves true texture.
- Industry Standard Formatting: Delivered in correct crops and file sizes for Backstage, Actors Access, casting platforms, and 8x10 prints.
This is the standard every actor headshot must meet to be taken seriously.
