Headshots for Actors

Our Actor’s headshots show you at your very best.
We understand how important it is for your headshot to accurately but attractively communicate your individuality and personality. Your headshot is your calling card, and is what agents, clients and casting directors see first.
Our complete Actor’s headshot package is only $149*, and includes all of the following:
- A relaxed photography session shot in high-resolution professional digital, at our studio, your location or any of several great outdoor locations throughout the Capital Region – your choice
- Weekday, evening, and weekend sessions available (you can check our calendar for availability of a date and time by clicking here )
- Up to three different looks (wardrobe changes)
- No fixed time limit or number of frames – we shoot until we are confident we’ve created some great headshots for you; typically we shoot around 100 frames, and most sessions last around 30 minutes. Again though, we don’t have fixed “rules,” we shoot until we have a good selection of headshots for you.
- The best images (typically around 20 or so) are uploaded as proofs to the Albany Headshots internet gallery allowing you to make a fast and easy selection of the four images you want for final retouching and printing.
- Editing and retouching of the four images you select (includes color correction,black and white conversion, straightening, cropping, blemish removal,etc.)
- Four (4) 8×10 glossy prints in your choice of b&w or color, border or borderless. Your name and contact info can be printed on the front of each print
- Prints are typically Fed Exed to you within a week of you making your selections on our website*; guaranteed 24-hr turn-around with pickup at our studio is available for a $50 additional charge
- A few days after your receive your prints, we’ll mail you a DVD containing the edited, retouched images from the shoot, plus the unedited proof images that were posted on our website. Images are delivered in high resolution, along with a usage license that allows you to print them any time, any where, without need for additional payment or permission from us.***
- See our pricelist for a complete list of options.
Makeup
Makeup and hair styling is not included in our standard package. For many kinds of headshots, especially for men, they are not required. If you would like to have an in-studio makeup artist present at your shoot, we recommend contacting Amy Elizabeth at 917-693-1955. If you choose to have your makeup done somewhere else, make sure they don’t use any of the popular mineral-based makeups — they can make you look extremely pale under the studio lights.
Need a LOT of prints?
We offer two options for volume prints: 50 8×10′s for $119 (including Fed Ex shipping!) or 100 8×10′s for $169. Prints are your choice of glossy or matte, carefully printed and color corrected to our exacting specifications by a pro lab, checked and approved by our studio staff, and then shipped to you by Fed Ex.
* 8% NY State Sales Tax will be added to all purchases.
** If you give us your selections the same day we upload your previews. Due to unpredictable workload, if you delay making your choices, depending on when you submit them, we may not be able to immediately turn around your prints.
*** While we give you permission to make your own prints, we don’t really recommend it. Professional Headshots should be printed and checked by a professional lab, and we recommend you order your prints directly from us for the highest possible quality. We keep our reprint prices low!
