Dancer headshots for kids Los Angeles and all about dance headshots

Does a dancer need a headshot?  Yes, they do if they are acting, modeling, or auditioning for dance roles.  There are tons of T.V. shows that kids and teens might audition for.  Just take a look at all of these T.V. dance shows.  Every dancer on every one of these shows would have turned in a headshot.

And many commercials seek out child dancers.  For example Target, Apple, Levi's and a host of advertisers often have hip-hop dancers doing their moves in a commercial.  Check out what this Dance Magazine has to say about it.

What kind of headshot do kid dancers use?  Well, it can vary, but most dance talent agents will want to see a main headshot like this young dancer Elle Paris Legaspi

They may also want the dancer to have a smiling headshot:

And then the dance agent may want to have some showing skill, or a dance full body headshot that makes it obvious the dancer is a dancer or shows a type of dance they do. The dance shots below are good examples of what a dance talent agent may use:

Teen Model Posing Tips

I've often seen young girls who are just starting out with modeling, unsure about how to pose.  It doesn't have to be some crazy pose, rather you should look natural.

I recommend sitting or standing in a natural position and then stretching your body out.  For example if you were sitting in front of the television, you may slouch.  A simple way to turn that into a great pose is to stretch and angle.  Notice in the modeling photo below, she is leaning and stretching but in a very natural teen way.

When getting your modeling headshots you want to make sure not to slouch, but rather stretch your body and elongate.  Your modeling or headshot photographer should also guide you if you are new.

Many of your modeling photos will be close ups of your face and eyes.  These are model headshots which the agent may also use to submit you for commercials.  I find a lot of new models tilt the head up or sideways but it's actually better to drop your chin down a bit and or straighten your face towards the camera so your face is clearly seen.  If your head is tilted to high, it will be about your neck and if you drop your chin down a little it will open up and show off your eyes more.  Try it in the mirror.  Notice in the models headshot below her eyes and face are the focus.  She has her chin down a bit and it makes for a great modeling or actor headshot.

Keeping the chin down a little bit in a modeling pose makes for a stronger headshot.  Young teen model smiling actor and model headshot.

When you ask someone to smile for the camera, often they automatically put their head up...it feels more natural.  However, the headshot or photo will be much stronger if you drop your chin down a little bit even and look up with your eyes.  Even if the photographer is a little bit above, it often works better to drop the chin down.  The teen model in the above headshot is doing a fabulous pose, keeping the chin slightly down when smiling for the camera.

Work with your headshot photographer during the photo session to get the right angle and pose which works best with your face.  They will assist you to look your best.

Young Stars

Have to give a big shout out to this up and coming young star, actress Elle Paris Legaspi who is starring in the remake of the 90's hit drama "Party of Five".  Elle will be playing the role of Valentina Buendia which airs on Freeform and produced by Sony Pictures.

Elle was a blast to photograph for her acting headshots and not surprisingly is such a professional to work with.  It's such a pleasure working with this young celebrity actress.  Here are a few shots from her last acting headshot session we did.

recent acting headshots with three kids.

I often work with families who have several kids in the business. When there is more then one child in the family who is acting,  they all need headshots.

It can be expensive to get headshots for two or three kids in one day, but I offer a sibling discount, if all kids are photographed together.  And it can be a bit of work for mom, to get the kids all together, get their wardrobe ready and then spend several hours at the shoot getting the kids headshots.  However...

...spending the time to do three kids headshots on the same day, saves money, because I offer a discount for sibling headshot sessions.  And even though it seems to be a bit of work, it's a lot of fun with the mom or dad and the kids all working together for the same purpose...to get great kids headshots.   And on top of getting each child's individual headshots, we usually do a sibling shot for the agent to use.  These three kids did a recent acting headshot session and it was a great opportunity for the youngest child to learn from her big sisters on being photographed for their acting headshots.

These kids headshots are from a  recent headshot session with three beautiful girls with gorgeous blue eyes and curly hair who are all signed with a top talent agency in Los Angeles.  These are just a few of the headshots from their acting headshot photo session which we did at the studio in North Hollywood.  Mom is thrilled because they not only have new headshots, but she has some great photos for her walls.

kids headshots and prices.

I often hear people mention concerns about spending the money for kids headshots.  Getting kids headshots can seem so expensive.  But like any business (and kids acting is a business), you need your tools of the trade.  If you are a chef you will need your own knives even if you work for an employer.  The same goes for child actors.  They need their tools and one of the main tools for a child actor is their kids acting headshots.

With your kids acting headshot you don't want skimp and get the cheapest headshots, but you don't need to necessarily spend $600.  A good kid headshot photographer should be recommended by talent agents and talent managers.  This will speak a lot of their work as talent agents and talent managers want headshots that work and get the talent auditions.  A kids headshot photographer

A kids acting headshot photographer usually specializes in actors headshots.  They know the industry trends and what is needed and wanted from casting directors and talent agents for current scene.  There can be small differences that make or break your kids headshot and a top headshot photographer will know how to capture this.  Spending the money on your kids acting headshots is a worthwhile investment.  Sure, ask about the kids headshot pricing, but don't choose your photographer only for the price.  Ensure they have consistent and good work.  In fact, you should check out their kids headshot website and also view their recent work on instagram or facebook.  No one wants to pay the price of getting so so headshots.  In fact, it is a very expensive way to go if you have to re-do your headshots, that is really paying the price.

baby modeling, baby talent agencies and baby headshots.

The baby modeling business is booming like never before.  With all the adorable baby clothing lines, diapers, and baby products comes a need for baby models.  Baby models are needed for magazine ads, internet advertising, TV commercials, feature films and TV shows. 

What do talent agencies want in a baby model?  Of course they do want to see cute babies, but along with this, a good-natured, happy baby is crucial.  A shy baby who clings to mom will not do well as a baby model.  But a baby who is cheerful, smiles a lot and seems to enjoy being in the company of others will do great.  The baby may have to be held by an actress who is playing the part of the child's mom, so if the baby is super shy or afraid of being held by another person, he or she is not really fit for this industry.  It's not surprising that This baby model and actor got a talent agent right after getting his first baby headshots.

Baby model talent agents are often looking for new faces.  Unlike adult models, baby models are constantly needed because children grow up.  Talent agents who represent babies will need new babies, new kids to fill those spots on their roster.

 I don't recommend getting baby headshots until the child is at least sitting up.  The child will change so fast that in a month or two the headshots don't even look like the child.  And honestly I find that different agents have different preferences, but most agents will accept a snapshot of the baby when they are newborn to 6 months.
