#4: Take professional photos!
I cannot stress enough how important a great headshot is. Having professional photos are imperative for your progression in the entertainment industry. Before you begin to draw social media attraction, or build a website, all of your content must be an accurate representation of how you want the world to see you. So invest the time and money in researching a photographer who best suits your professional needs.
Before the Shoot:
- Look at magazines and photos for posing ideas
- For inspiration on what to wear, compile magazine pages or photos from the internet that you like and want to emulate. Keep a scrapbook for future reference.
- Get Beutified! Hair, nails, skin. Since the camera points out everything, the details are super important.
- Get your Rest
@ the Shoot:
- Bring a few outfits to the shoot that represent your personality
- Stick to solid colors. No patterns or logos (you don't want to distract attention from your face)
- Have your hair and makeup done by a professional-but keep it natural (Casting directors want your photo to actually look like you when they send you out to auditions)
- HAVE FUN!!!
After the Shoot:
- Send out "Thank you's" to everyone involved in the shoot
- Follow up with the photographer to get your photos! Make sure to get both hi-res and internet .jpeg copies
- Find a professional retoucher and printer
