A headshot is a simple photo, but for an actor, it is effectively their first audition. Headshots are used by talent agencies to showcase actors on their rosters.
Casting directors, producers, would look at an actor’s headshots to decide if they have the look and personality for the role they have in mind.
James Bryce is a friend of mine who was looking for current headshots to update his acting profile. We set up a photoshoot at his home. The four images he selected are shown below.
