Toronto Actor Headshots

Twice a year we photograph Joanne Blouin‘s headshots, once for summer and once for winter. Its a good idea to give talent agents, and casting agents images of you in different seasons. This is important because when casting directors look at thousands of applicants for a role in a summer advertisement for beach products, for example. They don’t want to see you wearing a sweater and scarf. It just hard to imagine that you will be a good fit for the part if your headshot doesn’t showcase a little bit of what they are looking for. So be strategic when sending in headshots, and get professional photographs taken a few times a year. Give casting directors a reason to hold on to your gorgeous mugshot!

Creative Makeup shoot

A while back we decide to just do a test shoot in studio for a makeup artist. A test shoot is just a way to get our ideas out in front of the camera in preparation for a future shoot of the same look or feel. Sometimes its nice to just create beautiful portraits with no purpose. Art is an experience, not just a finished product you can hang on a wall.

Emily & Juliette are models we have known for ages, and you have probably seen them on this blog before. I love this first photo, I really wanted to work out some ideas I had for a long time to photograph models in head pieces. This is a piece of Tulle wrapped “strategically” around Emily’s head. Juliette is wearing a flower crown in the photos below. The flower crown was made by our good friend Elizabeth Johnston of Eventdecorator.com and makeup by Judi Clayton.

Enjoy!

Actors Headshots – Adrienne

Its that time of year again to update your headshots. So to all the actors and commercial models out there make a date to shoot with us.

On average the “working” actors or commercial model should get an updated headshot twice a year. I like to say once in winter and once in summer. If you have steady work year around then every season is necessary for head shots. It is important to be handing agents, scouts, casting directors updated images of you!

Here are Adrienne’s latest head shots.

Commercial Portraits – Sara Walton, ChicBoxing

Sara taught me how to throw a punch! I am surprised up until I took her all girl boxing classes that I didn’t know how. How is it possible that I have managed to live 27 years without getting into a fight? Either way, I know now how to give a sweet right hook, so watch out ! (just kidding.) I took Sara’s 6 week ChicBoxing (kickboxing) class last year. She runs classes year round in various locations so check out the site below for details.

Earlier this summer we had the chance to photograph Sara Walton owner and creator of ChicBoxing. She wanted something fun that she could put on her website, something that matched her brand and over all style. So since most of her classes take place on the Lakeshore in Barrie, On we thought we would hang out there on one of the hottest days of the summer. I love the shots we got. Check them out!

Curtis Moore is a wedding photographer from Winnipeg, Manitoba, a dad, husband, a HUGE advocate for healthy living and a good friend of ours. Recently he visited our studio for some portraits. I really love these portraits they remind me of the type of portraits you would see on Saturday Night Live. Thanks Curtis for coming up for a visit, it was super fun to have you hanging around this week.

Photographer – Natalie Kay

Natalie Kay is a Toronto Photographer who was looking to update her site with some new portraits and a video about her and her photography. She saw the video we did for Joanne Blouin and contacted us for hers. She got our largest package (4 hours of shooting) and we hit up a bunch of locations in Barrie and the surrounding areas. I think all photo shoots should be 4 hours long, you really get to know a person when you spend an entire day together. Natalie wanted her photos and video to showcase the things she loves: Photography, the beach, and horses. We photographed Natalie at Johnston’s Beach in Barrie and then at a secret location just on the outskirts. We love these photos, they are perfect for Natalie. Stay tuned to the blog for her video from the same shoot.

Hair and make up for the shoot by: John Linkert Salon Barrie.

Kids Headshots – Harlee Hutchison

Some parents choose to photograph their very young children’s headshots as it can be too pricey to update headshots as fast as these child actors and models grow. We completely agree that it can be pricey to do a full photo shoot and styling for children under the age of 5 more than 4 times a year. A busy adult actor or model might update their portfolio only 4 times a year (with the seasons). So children should not need to be photographed this often professionally. But I highly recommend 2 small shoots a year for any busy child actor or model under the age of 5 years.

We offer 30 minute sessions for $175+taxes and your best headshot on CD for anyone who needs a quick updated headshot. Our youngest client Harlee Hutchison needed a quick headshot for an audition this week. 30 mins is really all a kid Harlee’s age really needs, its the perfect time frame to get the best images out of a 3 year old.

Check out our headshots promo going on right now for the weekend of May 21st & 22nd 2011. All packages are 35% off that weekend.

Good luck to Harlee on her audition!
