TOP 10 Tips For A Perfect Headshot

A headshot is a photograph used to by models in order to get them work. Headshots are 8 x 10 prints of the performer where the face is clearly shown.

Your headshot is your most important selling tool. As such, it needs to stand out for all the right reasons and none of the wrong ones. The purpose of a headshot is to showcase that special quality that makes you unique in a natural and straight-forward way.

For A Perfect Headshot, Follow These Headshot Tips:

#1 First and foremost, the headshot must look professional. Always 8x10". Opt for a matte finish. No fancy fonts here either. Neither the border nor the printed name should draw attention away from your face! The aim of a headshot is to have your face grab their attention.

#2 Make sure the headshot looks like you. The more your headshot looks like you, the better the headshot. Please do not try to look like the next Miss America. "Ordinary" is very much in these days. A pretty woman trying to look glamorous has fewer chances/fewer roles than a pretty woman who presents herself as she is: pretty. Whatever you wear, try to look like you. Try as truthfully as you can to figure out what kinds of roles you are likely to get cast in. Chances are if you are not a hunk or a model, you are not going to get hunk/model roles.
