CORONAVIRUS ALERT
- Governor Cuomo has passed Executive Order 202.6, which blocks all "non-essential" services from being performed until further notice.
- Although we believe headshots are essential to your success, photography is of course deemed a "non-essential" service for the purposes of this executive order.
- Any photographers caught shooting with clients could be charged a hefty fine (and their client could get in trouble too), so we are currently unable to schedule shoots right now.
- If you're willing to wait it out a bit, we're offering a $50 discount on any of our packages if you contact us before the executive order is lifted.
- Here's how it works: Simply email us with the package you're interested in, place your deposit, and you'll be locked in at the $50 discounted rate.
- Then, once the executive order is lifted, we'll schedule your shoot (hopefully just in time for the warmer weather)!
- Thanks for understanding and we hope you stay safe!

Expression is Key.
|
Look carefully at actor headshots you see online. In many cases, you'll see photos with uncomfortable expressions - fake smiles, wide eyes, or pursed lips. Did you know that a weak expression can actually mean the difference between a photo that gets you in the door and one that doesn't. Casting directors actually use your expression to determine whether they think you can act. Learn how expression played a crucial role in Eric Michael Gillet booking 12 film jobs. That's why we've spent over a decade studying everything related to expression, from how your eyes can help you look more confident to how certain muscles in the jaw must be engaged for a genuine smile (the masseters and temporalis muscles if you really want to know 😉). A headshot only does its job if it shows the casting director that you know what you're doing and have a clearly defined brand. |

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of things you could be doing to move your acting career forward?
While all this advice might have been valid years ago, the truth is that with the advent of the internet and the ease with which actors can submit themselves for projects, there are infinitely more people trying to become actors these days. That means it’s almost impossible to move ahead without becoming highly strategic. Our founder Martin Bentsen has released his newest book, which outlines a simple and clear strategy to help actors get booked up with work they love - sooner than they think possible.
