How To Get The Best NYC Headshots

By Eloise Hewitt


There are certain things you need when applying to be a model or an actor. Headshots are possibly one of the most crucial as they will help someone determine whether or not you have the look they need. However the cost can vary wildly and it is vital to be vigilant in case of scams. In short you ought to find a professional photographer who specialises in taking NYC headshots.

Some people may ask why it is necessary to use a professional. A lot of people would argue that everyone has cameras now and getting hold of photo editing software is very simple. Indeed a lot of computers have it built in and it can be argued that is possible to get some very good effects in this way.

If an agency says they will represent you then they should either ask you to provide a headshot or charge a reasonable amount for it. If they are charging you thousands for it or charging you in order to get work then it is very likely that this is a scam. A responsible agent earns their money from the work they get for you.

This is also worth remembering that New York is home to a lot of powerful people in the television, cinema and fashion industries. You want them to sit up and take notice of you. A little bit of investment in using a professional photographer can make a massive difference when it comes to getting your foot in the door.

What should be emphasised is that it is best to specifically use a photographer. Avoid agencies that charge you for using their photographers and especially if they charge you to find work. An agency ought to be willing to help you find work and get their payment from the work they find you.

Once you have found someone you like the look of you should meet them in person. It is important to trust your instincts. A photographer should make you feel relaxed while taking your photo and anyone that makes you feel uncomfortable when you meet them is likely to make you feel uncomfortable when they are taking your photo.

Remember to meet people in person so you can discuss their background and experience. This is also a good opportunity to see if you feel comfortable with them. Anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable when you are talking to them will probably make you feel uncomfortable while they are taking your photo and are therefore probably best avoided!

You can find a number of professional headshot photographers in the New York area. However it is best to check online and get feedback as much as possible. This is to help you reduce the options and find the best ones in your price range but also to reduce the chances of falling for any scams. With the best approach and information you will find the right photographer for you.
