Photos and the Modeling and Acting Industry

When you’re just starting out, there are so many questions about how to find a great photographer and what are the best photos to approach an agent or casting director. Here are some tips to consider when submitting your photos:

• Photos should be clear and in focus

• Include at least one headshot (close up of your face) and one whole body shot

• Keep makeup to a minimum

• Keep hairstyles simple and well-groomed

• Keep clothing simple and in good taste

• Include a swimsuit photo if you are comfortable wearing a swimsuit

• Do not submit nude photos

• Fancy clothing and makeup is unnecessary for kids. They should look like a regular kid

• You should be the only one in the photo

• Remember that first impressions are important

• The hair color in your photo needs to be the hair color you show up to at your audition

• No logos

• Wear your best colors

• Do not wear hats
