Tips For Getting NYC Headshots

By Eloise Hewitt


The sad fact is if you want to be an actor or a model then it can be very difficult. The nature of these industries are very competitive. While experience and a good body of work are vital there is also the need to stand out. This is why you should get the most professional looking NYC headshots possible.

Unfortunately a lot of people when looking for people to do headshots can get exploited. It is important to emphasise that agencies should not charge excessive amounts for photos. Ideally they should not charge people for work and should only really get paid via the work they find for their clients.

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.

Some people may ask why you would need a professional photographer. They may say that most people have their own cameras and editing equipment and it is easy enough to do this for yourself. However while this is true the fact is that the services of a professional photographer are worth paying the extra for.

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.

Once you have found someone you should meet them in person. It is a good opportunity to discuss their experience and background as well as the cost of their services. Remember if they make you feel uncomfortable when you talk to them then this is likely to also be an uncomfortable experience when they take your photo. If in doubt trust your instincts!

There are a wide array of professional headshot photographers in the New York city area. It is best to compare at least three in order to get an idea of prices and services. You should also check online for customer feedback and recommendation in order to make an informed decision and find the best photographer available in your price range. Remember you are investing in your career so you have to choose carefully. The best professionals will be worth it!
