Chicago Actor Headshot | Naperville headshot photographer

This lovely young lady is an aspiring actress on the edge of making it in the business.  She’s recently singed on with several management groups in Los Angeles to represent her as an actress.  I hope that one day soon, I can look her up on IMDB and see a list of work, or even better, recognize her in a movie.  🙂  She is the third person in recent history to come to me for headshots where they had already had some done in L.A. but been unhappy with them.  I find this so odd that the photographers who this is all they do – only acting and modeling headshots for agencies – can do such a bad job (like over exposed, etc). Trust me, I saw the pictures.  I’m more than happy to step up to the plate, though.

This fifteen year old came to the studio with her grandmother who I think should become her manager.  LOL She was on top of everything – hair, makeup, clothes.  She was a blast while mom was in LA with another sibling.  We talked about hair and whether it should be straightened, and my thoughts were this – as an aspiring actress, I think everyone knows hair can be straightened.  Everyone can achieve that look, but not everyone has naturally wavy hair.  It is better to show what makes you stand out, what makes you memorable, as opposed to being just another face like everyone else.

 

 

 

 

 

It is important to be able to give some pictures that let directors see her figure, so they can more accurately envision her in the roles.  These were nice and casual, playful, and showing an age appropriate personality, which was also very important for her mother.
