WHAT ARE MODELING HEADSHOTS?

• A headshot is a modern version of portrait images
  that specifically emphasizes facial expressions.
  Modeling headshots may look simple, but they need
  a lot of imagination and work. These shots
  highlight the physique and expressions, whereas
  actor headshots focus on facial appearance. Most
  modeling agencies are interested in looking at
  your natural poses and seeing the charm and
  confidence on your face. Thus, it is imperative
  to be realistic and bold while getting the shots
  clicked and not imitate anyone.

• Is a Professional Photographer Required for a
  Headshot?
• Most models who are new to the industry presume
  they don't need a professional agency or a
  photographer for a headshot, and that is where
  they are mistaken. You must have heard the famous
  saying that the first impression is the last
  impression, and you should leave no stones
  unturned for it. Thus, if you are looking for
  some good headshots for modeling in California,
  hiring a professional photography company, like
  Rob Sandberg Photography,  is a far better option
  if money isn't a problem.

• Don't Over Do With The Makeup 
• Since highlighting the natural boldness and
  expressions is what entices the most modeling
  agencies, overdoing the makeup won't be of any
  benefit. Discuss everything with your makeup
  artist and analyze what looks subtle and
  professional. Again, your primary focus should be
  on grabbing attention through your posing skills.
  
• Keep Your Head Shots Up To Date 
• Your modeling headshot functions similarly to a
  business card. Don't you think it's good to keep
  the business card up to date? Because it is the
  one that will be viewed the most, your headshot
  should be your best photo. Ideally, it should be
  a high-resolution photograph that hasn't been
  heavily edited and will print nicely. Always aim
  for a natural-looking headshot with minor
  cosmetics and picture retouching.
