Teen Acting Headshot Session in Los Angeles

When scheduling a headshot session I like to ensure my clients come very prepared.  I normally send the headshot client wardrobe recommendations, inspiration and recommended colors and character types I feel they can play.  As a previous youth talent manager  for many years, I have a lot of experience knowing what type of acting headshots a casting director  responds to.

Here's an example of a teen actors headshot  session with a very handsome young teenage actor.   We worked out several different types and characters he could play and then shot accordingly with the appropriate expression and wardrobe.  Mom did a great job bringing a wonderful selection of wardrobe choices and the young actor did a great job working with me to get the shots.  Great team work translates into great headshots.

When it comes to shopping for your kids acting headshots session you may want to go to a few different stores and purchase a some items that may not be part of your kids normal wardrobe. I love H&M kids,  and Zara Kids for fun, colorful, textured clothing.  The sweater below is a great example. However, you may have plenty of wardrobe that is suitable already without spending additional money.  I do like parents to bring several different shirts, jackets, sweaters, etc., to give me choices.  And I will always try to save you money and use what you have if possible. Leave the tags on anything you purchase, as I may not use it.  Keep reading below to get more tips on teen acting headshots.

 I love the color of the sweater in this kids headshot and the v-neck works really well in the composition.   And the texture is fabulous!  The headshot below shows a completely different character and type in both wardrobe and expression.

Next we have a boy next door, enthusiasm, like-ability and energy in this headshot. The vivid blue has an energetic vibe and pops off the page.  This is a commercial headshot and it's very important that it radiates energy.

Here we have the quirky or character headshot.  Disney channel and Nickelodeon always have characters in their shows, but as well you can see this in commercials like this Verizon spot and Network shows like the Big Bang Theory.

 The headshot below works for the high school popular guy, jock, athlete as well as boy next door roles and or a good looking teenager role.

Creating different looks for your child's headshot session.

 This headshot in the purple t-shirt is great for both Disney and commercials.  It shows wonderful energy and his fabulous smile.  It definitely pops.

 And lastly the bad boy, trouble maker, darker, edgier headshot. 

This wouldn't be used for a main headshot, but rather as an additional look for an actors portfolio. 

 
Always keep in mind the colors and what it projects and the collars and necklines and what they project.  Jock or popular high school kid, edgy, quirky, smart kid, boy next door, trouble maker...they are all characters he can play.  With these headshots and the range they show, the talent agent can submit different images for different roles.

Kids Headshot Photographer Los Angeles

Kids headshots of a young actress acting headshot, six years old.

As a kid's headshot photographer I am so grateful to do what I do.  I meet adorable, talented child actors every week who are pursuing their love of the performing arts.  Some want to act, some want to sing and some want to dance.  Some want it all and excell in all things performing arts.   They always amaze me with their talent, kindness, intelligence and beauty inside and out.  My work is not serious and we are often laughing and playing throughout the entire shoot.   Along with working with these amazing kids,  I get to meet and work with the parents.  And many times I even photograph the parents headshots or the family shots because they are also in the industry.  

This beautiful child actress was no exception.  She did a great job during her acting headshot photography session.  We did four wardrobe changes and different headshot looks.

Here are a few of her agent picks from the headshot photo session.  I love her "Little Miss Sassy Pants"expression in this acting headshot below.

If your child loves to dance, act, sing or perform and has been begging you to get a Talent Agent so they can go out on auditions for TV, film and commercials shoot me an email or give me a ring.  I have helped many parents get their child started and get an agent. 

 We will happily answer questions about the business of acting and headshots or book you a great headshot session!
