What you’re looking for

‘You are never looking for a simple, basic headshot, but instead something that is going to stand out and show your personality. Knowing what type of roles you would like to be cast for is very important, but at the same time you do not want to narrow yourself down. ‘Who you are’ is what you need to bring to the casting directors. ‘What you can be’ comes later.’

How often should I get new headshots?

‘Your photograph should show how you look right now, which is why the usual recommendation is to have a new headshot every couple of years, or more often if you drastically change your appearance with a different hair cut or colour.’

How many photos should I have on my Spotlight profile?

‘If you have a good enough headshot, two or three good portfolio images are all you need to compliment it. A casting director is not going to sit and click through every photograph on your Spotlight profile, so make them count.’

Colour or black and white photograph?

‘From a photography perspective, black and white has some great points. It strips away all colour and forces you to focus on the subject itself. From a casting perspective, the times have changed recently and more casting directors have a preference for colour photographs.’
