GOALS
AND OBJECTIVES
The
main goal of the shoot is to get great photos in a relaxing
and fun environment which will enhance your portfolio and
hopefully get the phone ringing for you. What we are
trying to achieve are photos that capture how you would
look coming through the door to your audition; photos that
show your personality at its best: spontaneous, relaxed,
easygoing, natural, and elegant. photos should have
an interesting composition and spark that makes them
compelling, something that stands out from the other
photos of people in your age range and physical type.
Photo
shoots are a creative process, like acting, and should be
fun. Remember to bring your favorite CDs to the shoot.
COST
OF THE SHOOT AND SERVICES
$275
for approx. 100 exposures
$375 for approx. 175 exposures (* The recommended amount for
serious actors*)
$550 for approx. 250 exposures
Retouching
is done digitally. This softens fine lines and wrinkles, remove
blemishes, perfects color balance / contrast. $35.00 per hour.
Typical prints require 1 hour.
Digital
previewing is included. This is very beneficial. This
is the chance to decide if all of the choices made -- about
hair, clothes etc. -- should be kept, adjusted, or eliminated,
before we shoot.
The
hair and make up artist is outstanding, natural style, and stays
the whole shoot. Please ask for what you want and check
the mirror and screen to see that you are happy. All discrepancies
will be gladly adjusted. Remember that all suggestions you have
about anything must be voiced at the time of the shoot, not
after the shoot.
Hair and Make up -- Women $100 & Men $85
Women:
If you get hair and make-up, please come with no make-up on.
Have your hair as close as possible to how you wear it at an
audition.

WHAT
TO WEAR
Avoid
noisy patterns, strips, logos etc. Tops should have
interesting neck lines and be very dark or very light
for separation. Medium tones and pastels are not
as good. Textures in clothes are good (e.g. ribbed)
The tops will determine the look of the shoot.
Bring a variety of necklines, textures, light and dark
fabrics. Also, include light and dark undergarments
with no textures. Feel free to bring what you feel
most comfortable in.
For
the bottom, one good pair of blue jeans, black jeans,
black slacks, and black shoes is all you need.

you have glasses, please be prepared take out the lenses
or to bring an extra frame without the lenses.
