The line between a business and acting look is getting a little blurred – which I think is awesome!
The two forms go well together. The traditional stale business shot is making way for exciting looks that can pass for a theatrical or commercial look.
What it does is allow the client to seem a lot more personable and human.
Still important is the wardrobe.

This may be different to what you might wear for an acting headshot.
Regardless on the type of shot, the eyes and mouth are the key elements to a strong headshot.
The eyes tell the audience if you are decent sort of person. That’s where a really good photographer comes into play. They need to make your eyes sparkle- either in studio or in editing.
With bloodshot eyes it is unacceptable for the photographer to not clean those up in post editing.

Whether the headshot is for either business or acting, the key to getting the client to show their true self becomes important. So to do that?
1- get them to talk about stuff they love- hobbies. family, job, pets.
That’s when you’ll get a great reaction.
