Getting Started
The following links should help you get other opinions about what you should wear and what headshots should look like. Also included are some vendors for mass reproduction, some talent agencies in the Richmond Area, and about avoiding people who prey upon the aspiring actor or model.
- Some Links Related to Headshots and Acting
- Avoid Modeling Scams! Beware of the flattering stranger at the mall.
- Advice for Aspiring Actors This is from Backstage magazine's Web presence. Many of the vendors they point to are in the New York area, but the wealth of general information is conveniently in one place. Some of the links within articles may be unreliable, however.
- An L.A. Photographer's Guide to Headshots Okay. This fellow is a Los Angeles headshot pro, so he makes a good pitch for paying a high price for headshots. Big surprise. He says a few other things that I disagree with - don't wear black, for example, but most of his comments are on the mark.
