Finding The Best Professional Headshots Bay Area

By Karen Brooks


Your headshots are your main calling card for advancing your resume and it's likely that you are often in search of the perfect one. Considering how expensive it can be, most actors can't get new headshots every time they would like to, so what can you do? You can give your Headshots Bay Area a make-Over! Yes, using the ones you have - if they are not too old.

Why do I say this? Well, you have to think about the quality of the picture. Do you think that a picture of you taken while you were drunk with your friends at a karaoke party where your head is cropped out in Photoshop is better than a professionally taken one where you may have paid $200 for it? You can be almost 100% certain that professionally taken headshot is going to be the picture that looks better.

There are multiple concerns that you should think of when considering getting a professional headshot. How much should you pay for your headshot? What is the correct number of headshots that you need to obtain? Should you get color, black and white or both? Personally, I would go with both.

Should you hire an individual from a classified ads website such as Craigslist? Should you go with a company that specializes in headshots like ones that you would find in Los Angeles, New York City, Miami or Las Vegas? I would avoid places that are expensive such as that place in the mall that charges thousands of dollars for pictures that could be taken with a digital camera for free.

You need to do some research to answer the questions above that I did not answer to, but it is important that you take action. Before buying a headshot, explore a variety of options by reading reviews on the internet and asking your friends. I'm sure you have a friend that is or was involved in acting and has gotten a headshot taken before. You can check the community bulletin board at local colleges that have acting programs. There are often flyers and posters scattered around large cities offering deals on headshots.

A headshot is something that is going to be valuable for models, those in the entertainment industry, online date seekers, job seekers and more. You should dress to impress when going for your headshot, but remember that usually you will get an 8x10 headshot with you facing forward, expressionless and you will not be able to see much of your clothing.

In the event that the foundation is excessively occupied, with a lot of going on at that point dispose of it. Some generally decent headshot picture takers get so centered on the "educated ness" of their photographs, they overlook that YOU are the subject they are offering, not their headshot aptitudes. Since they do that, occasionally the picture takers do hip things with the foundation, for example, making it obscured, and it is more diverting than accommodating.

Besides, ask if the person taking your headshot has professional experience in digital image editing or computer graphics. If they have extensive experience with some of the Adobe Creative Suite area of products such as Adobe Photoshop, then this may be the best person to take your headshot.
