Headshot Photographer
Hollywood.
Actor headshots, staff at the studios and networks, and the agencies and law firms in between. We shoot on location across Hollywood, West Hollywood, Burbank and Studio City with a portable studio that sets up in a conference room or a soundstage corner. Images back in 24 hours.
Hollywood has more headshot photographers than anywhere on earth.
Here is where we fit.
Most of them are good. What we do differently is the process, not the lens: sessions are short and on location, the light is clean, the retouching is light, and the image looks like you do on a self-tape, which is what casting checks it against. You get commercial and theatrical looks in one session, you pick on the tethered screen before we pack up, and the files are in your inbox the next day, in web and full-resolution versions ready for Actors Access and Casting Networks uploads.
If you want the full creative treatment, gels, smoke, an editorial edge, that is what the Toronto actor page describes and it travels. Say so in the brief. And if you'd rather compare us against the Valley studios first, our guide to the best headshot photographers in Los Angeles lists their published prices and turnaround times side by side.
Three steps.
No studio to find.
Tell us the brief
Actor: which looks, how many, what your rep asked for. Team: headcount, date and address. Prices are below; we confirm availability within a few hours.
We come to you
Your office, your apartment, a rented room, a corner of the lot. The portable studio needs a 10 by 13 foot space and an outlet; we arrive 45 minutes before the first frame.
Images in 24 hours
You pick your favorites on the tethered screen. Retouched images arrive by Google Drive link within 24 hours, web and full-resolution versions.
Studios, networks, post houses.
One day rate.
A floor of staff headshots at a studio lot, a network's press-kit refresh, crew IDs, an agency's whole roster: past about 25 people this is a flat $3,000 day rate, unlimited headcount, one number for whoever signs it off. Twenty-minute slots your people book themselves, tethered review, and nobody is away from their desk for more than half an hour.
