Q: What kind of headshots does an actor typically need?

A: The type of headshots you need largely depends on the specific area of the industry you're targeting. Are you aiming for theater roles, commercial bookings, or opportunities in film and TV? Each niche requires a slightly different approach. Generally, actors seeking film and TV work will benefit from having two types of headshots: one that conveys a pleasant and approachable demeanor for commercial roles, and another that presents a more serious or intense look for dramatic or theatrical roles.

Q: What kind of backgrounds do you offer?

A: We offer a wide variety of backgrounds that range from bright to moody. Many actor headshots are shot on plain backgrounds with no texture, but it's become trendy to finish some images with digital backgrounds that help to convey the mood of the image.

A: Our home-based studio is located on the north-east side of Colorado Springs in the Cordera neighborhood, one mile east of Powers and Union. The address is 10463 Fall Creek Court.
