recent teen headshot session.

 Recently I've had a slew of teen actor headshot sessions.  Many are long time actors and some are just getting going in the business.  In fact,  I often get phone calls from parents stating, "My teenager is very interested in acting but I know nothing about the business."  "My teenager is doing theater or expressing an interest in modeling & acting for many years and is now pushing me to help them get an agent." Fortunately I know a lot about the business and my specialty is kids and teen headshots.  The first step to finding an agent is to get some great child headshots.

Your teens headshot is their calling card, whether you do an actors showcase in an acting class, submit to agents, get a referral to an agent or want to start building credits by doing student films.  The headshot is the first thing agents, casting directors and talent managers look at.  They need to see your look (all types are fine), and then flip it over to see the acting resume.

So if you are just getting your teenager started in the business of acting, don't skimp, rather invest the money into getting great headshots.  A great kids or teen headshot is vital in getting noticed.  For one, it shows that you are coming into this with a professional attitude.  But the main reason is this will be the first thing that everyone sees in the industry that represents them.  Professional headshot photographers know what is needed in the industry and will catch the look to attract the agent or casting directors eye.

Hope you enjoy these headshots of this beautiful teenager.  And call Robin Lorraine if you have any questions about teen headshots in LA.

a recent "Tiny Tot" session.

Here's a few shots from a recent "Tiny Tot" headshot session.

The "Tiny Tot" headshots sessions include three wardrobe changes, full body shots and close up headshots.  It's a discounted, ($225), mini session because most young kids and toddlers are not interested in working a couple of hours for a full headshot session.  Also, I offer a discount at this age because the kids grow so fast and most likely will need to update their headshots in six months.   Typically if they book a job that will more then cover the headshot session fee.

Remember your kids headshot should always look like them and represent their body type, current hair, weight and features.  Typically with very young children their teeth are growing in, their face may thin out or fill in,  and in general they will change a great deal in 6 months.

Child Modeling Headshot

 I  do like to include some 3/4 or full body shots with young ones because they are often good candidates for child modeling.  Talent agents who represent child models like to have in the portfolio some images that show the body type. 

Child Modeling Headshot.  Can also work for an energetic kids commercial headshot.

Most talent agents will choose 2-6 images for the  child actor's headshot portfolio.  And my experience is that with young children 2-3 images is what a talent agent will use for their online portfolio.  However,  if the child is signed with a talent agent who also represents child models, then they typically use more images and will definitely want some full body shots.   As you can see by the photos above a casting director would get a good feel for this child's look, body type and her energetic, cheerful personality.

HEADSHOTS AND THOSE COVETED ROLES

As I've mentioned before a headshot is not just a picture.  Headshots in Hollywood are taken very seriously.  Why?  Because a child actors headshot can open doors to those coveted roles and castings.

Kids Acting Headshots

Like it or not, this is a business and this is something you should understand when your child begins acting.  In any business you have to promote, advertise and or get the word out there that you have the best product or are a candidate for the job.

 An actors headshot is used in advertising their unique look--it's a promotional tool.  The child's headshot shows casting what they look like and whether they are fit for the role, appearance wise.

For commercial castings often a casting director needs a very specific look.  They may want a teenager who looks "bookish or somewhat nerdy".  In this case they will pull actors who have that appearance or can pull off that look.  Recently I was interviewed for an article on kids headshots for Backstage Magazine and I gave some tips on headshots and specific looks.  BACKSTAGE MAGAZINE, ADVICE FOR ACTORS.  Here's a great example of the bookish look or somewhat nerdy type.

HEADSHOT session with a teenage actress

This was from a fantastic headshot session with teen actress Alexa. She has had excellent success from her new acting headshots.  Immediately after the headshot session she secured a talent manager and agent and then went on to book her first audition with the first headshot below, for a Dell computer commercial.   Shortly after she booked another audition for an Ubisoft campaign with the fourth headshot you can see below. Here's a sample from this lovely teenagers headshot session:

The girl next door commercial headshot.

This headshot got her in the door for her very first audition and she booked it!  A Dell computer commercial.

Pretty teenager or cheerleader type commercial headshot. 

 

The above headshot look is the "relateable" shot.  The everyday, approachable, Modern Family look. 

The headshot got the young actress an audition for a fashionable, young teenager role.  Once again she booked that job! Typically hats are not used for headshots, but on occasion agents will choose a hat shot to keep as part of the actors online headshot portfolio.

Here is her theatrical headshot.  Great color choice with her skin and hair.
