Getting The Best NYC Headshots

By Eloise Hewitt


The sad fact is if you want to be an actor or a model then it can be very difficult. The nature of these industries are very competitive. While experience and a good body of work are vital there is also the need to stand out. This is why you should get the most professional looking NYC headshots possible.

Some people may ask why it is necessary to use a professional. A lot of people would argue that everyone has cameras now and getting hold of photo editing software is very simple. Indeed a lot of computers have it built in and it can be argued that is possible to get some very good effects in this way.

However in order to get an agent you have to stand out. This is why a decent photo is important. The best photos will show you in a good light and highlight your best features while the worst will often look unflattering. This is why it is vital to get the best ones to send out to potential agents, producers and so forth.

That being said it is worth investing in the services of a professional photographer when it comes to taking a headshot. While it is true that digital cameras are now a lot more affordable than they used to be and that there is a lot of free or relatively inexpensive software to edit pictures this does not necessarily mean you can produce professional quality photos. Ultimately while the tools are available to everyone this does not necessarily mean that they will have the experience necessary.

New York is home to a wide variety of media industries such as film, television and fashion. Inevitably they will receive a lot of applications and a lot of headshots. Unfortunately this will also include a lot of home made and edited pictures that are likely to get thrown away regardless of how experienced that person might be. This may be brutal but it is a simple fact that they will get a lot of applications and they will only tend to consider the ones that look professional.

A common rule when looking at the website of a photographer is to assume their worst photo is the level of quality you will get rather than imagine that their best photos will ensure the most flattering look for you. This may seem brutal but it is often the best way to narrow down the options and to get a realistic idea of what you are likely to get. Once you have found someone you like the look of you can then contact them in person.

Once you have found someone you should meet them in person. It is a good opportunity to discuss their experience and background as well as the cost of their services. Remember if they make you feel uncomfortable when you talk to them then this is likely to also be an uncomfortable experience when they take your photo. If in doubt trust your instincts!

You can find a number of professional headshot photographers in the New York area. However it is best to check online and get feedback as much as possible. This is to help you reduce the options and find the best ones in your price range but also to reduce the chances of falling for any scams. With the best approach and information you will find the right photographer for you.
