Actor Headshots for Film, TV & Theatre in Chicago

Chicago Actor Headshots

Whether you’re updating Actors Access, sending photos to your agent, or trying to get better materials for casting, the goal is simple: Chicago actor headshots that look like you and make sense for the kinds of roles you actually go out for.

Actor headshots should not feel generic. We’ll talk through your type, the roles you’re getting called in for, the direction you want to go, and what casting needs to see, then build the session around that.

We’ll work through different looks, backgrounds, and expressions to create real variety that still feels grounded in who you are. The goal is a set of headshots that gives casting a quick, clear sense of you without feeling forced or overdone.

You do not need to show up knowing exactly what to do. I’ll guide you through wardrobe, expression, and the small adjustments that make a big difference on camera so you leave with a range of usable options.

If you also need photos for LinkedIn, your website, or other professional use, I also offer business headshots.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • - What should I wear for my actor headshots?

    Bring clothes that match the kinds of roles you actually get called in for. Solid colors usually photograph best. Skip big logos and loud patterns. If you’re unsure, just bring what you’ve got and we’ll figure it out together.

  • - How many outfits / looks should I bring?

    It depends on the package: 1 outfit for the 30-minute session, 2–3 outfits for the 75-minute session, and up to 5 outfits for the 2-hour session. If you’re unsure, bring what you’ve got and we’ll narrow it down fast.

  • - Do you help with posing and expression during actor headshots?

    Yes. Nothing complicated — just a little direction so it looks natural, confident, and like you.

  • - Do you offer different backgrounds for actor headshots?

    Yes. In studio, I have a bunch of different solid colors and textured backgrounds, so we can keep it clean or add a little mood. And when the weather cooperates, we can shoot outdoors too and get that shallow depth-of-field blur. If you want that softer “outdoor” feel without actually going outside, I can also shoot blurrier looks indoors.

  • - Is retouching included?

    Yes — based on the package you choose (it’s listed in the pricing table). Retouching is clean and natural. You’ll still look like yourself. If you need extra retouched images beyond what’s included, you can add them.

  • - How long does it take to get my photos?

    Proofs are delivered in 24–48 hours. Final retouched images are typically ready within 5–7 days after you make your selections.
