Our next session is on Thursday, August 20th (I’m out of town on the 13th) with openings starting at 4pm and available by reservation only.  Sessions are held generally each Thursday.  All participants receive a full studio photography session with up to 4 changes of clothing, hair and make-up support, a 36 image proof-sheet, and 2 8×10 prints of choice, all for only $100 bucks!  Add a full resolution image-DVD with copyright release for $50 more.  If you’ve done a little research, you know what a great deal this is.  Get your foot in the door at that agency you’ve been looking at, or just upgrade/update your portfolio with some fresh headshots!

If you’re an up and coming actor or model trying to break into television or movie work, Dathan of Sugarhouse Films (our partner company) is available for screen-test videos.  See what you look like and sound like on screen!  You’ll get a demo clip, filmed with movie-style lighting and recorded with professional quality sound, on your very own DVD to show your agent or potential clients.  Worth hundreds?  Maybe…but in conjunction with “Headshot Night”, it’s just $100.

Just think!  Come in on a Thursday and get fresh headshots, 2 8x10s, a proof sheet, a copyright released photo-dvd, and a demo-reel dvd for a cool $250…around half what you’d pay for the headshots alone elsewhere.

Complete portfolios, outdoor sessions, many other services are available, and are offered at a discounted rate for those who participate in “Headshot Night”.  Please check out the “Studio” sub-section in the “Portfolio” on my website for more samples.  Whether you choose the basic headshot package for $100 or go full out with the photo-video package for $250, you’re sure to improve your portfolio.  Space at each session is limited and generally fill well in advance, so contact me soon to reserve your time!

A model’s portfolio generally begins with a good headshot. When seeking modeling opportunities, a model must have a strong portfolio consisting of several types of photographs including a combination of some of the following examples;

1. Headshot

2. Full length shot – fashion or formal

3. Full length shot – casual

4. Editorial shot (specifically shot for a magazine cover or article)

5. Natural light shot

6. Tear Sheet (page “torn” from magazine or other published work)

7. Interactive shot (with another model)

8. Character shot

9. “Beauty” shot

10. Environmental or outdoor shots

11. A “light-to-none” make-up shot

12. Swimwear/Underwear/Lingerie (Tasteful)

13. “Mood” shot (showing a particular emotion / mood)

14. “Object” shot (presenting / handling / seen with an item or object)

15. Other shots to “personalize” the portfolio.

This list is not exclusive. It’s important to remember that the portfolio is a fluid thing and that photos can be interchanged and rearranged depending on what the particular job or campaign calls for. In general, a model portfolio is 9×12 vertical in contrast to a photographer portfolio which is generally 11×14. Photos / samples should be arranged one per page, on the right side of the page with the left side being left blank so that images can be viewed one at a time and be aloud to “stand on their own”.

I’ve helped hundreds of models in Utah begin their careers with great headshots and other portfolio work. As a portrait photographer in Utah I’ve literally worn out several cameras with headshots alone numbering in the tens of thousands. What does this mean for you as a model? I’m one of Utah’s most experienced photographers and can help you with your portfolio whether you’re just starting your career joining the hundreds of successful Utah models, or whether you’re already a working model and need to update your portfolio with a fresh headshot.

Don’t miss out on a modeling job or career because you lack a portfolio or because your current portfolio is lacking… Get in touch with me and let’s discuss how to best assemble or update your portfolio today!

A headshot says a lot about you. Whether you’re competing for a part as an actor in a movie, a television spot, a play or even an advertising campaign, it’s a vital part of any working actor’s arsenal for “getting the job”. An agent might look through a thousand headshots in pursuit of one that says…

What is YOUR headshot saying about you? You need a photo that will grab the right attention when it’s your split second turn in front of the casting agent. Don’t let your current headshot lose you work. Equip yourself!

As a Utah portrait photographer for the last ten years, I’ve taken my share of headshots…tens of thousands, actually. If you multiply the number of beginning actors who have passed in front of my camera at various agencies over the years and multiply by around 100 shots per person, it amounts to tens of thousands of headshots. Experience, proficiency, and and eye that knows what makes a fantastic headshot…a JOB getting headshot.

So whether you’re just starting your acting career and need your first headshot to present to the talent agency, or if you “missed the cut” one too many times at casting calls, or even if you have a decent headshot already and just want to see if you can get that little extra edge…

Don’t let your opportunities pass you by because someone else has a better headshot.
