Best Acting Headshots Tips
1. Clothing
When it comes to clothing, expensive outfits aren't necessary. Most of the time, the focus should be on you, not what you're wearing.
Choose neutral colors like white, gray, navy or dark greens, as that won't distract viewers from your face.
For men, choose solid-colored shirts and suits for a professional look. For women, opt for classy dresses, blazers, jackets, or plain blouses. Avoid clothing with heavy logos or busy designs, as they divert attention from you. Also, steer clear of patterns; the goal is to keep you as the focal point.
2. Background or Backdrop
Like clothing, the background should not distract viewers from the focal point of the headshot, which is the individual.
Whether you opt for an outdoor or in-studio shot, the background should have minimal details to avoid overshadowing the subject. A natural scene is a great option to consider. Indoor backdrops should also possess similar characteristics; choose a neutral color or a soft pastel that contrasts well with the subject while remaining muted. The background should complement the subject without drawing too much attention.
3. Pose
Many people misunderstand this step. They believe that a strange pose will attract attention, but the opposite is true. Attention is often captured through subtlety rather than extravagance.
Two poses stand out as excellent choices for an acting headshot: a smiling pose and a natural, relaxed pose. Avoid facial expressions that convey aggression or appear exaggerated or fake. Similarly, refrain from gestures that divert attention away from your face, such as waving your hand.
4. Lighting
Natural lighting lends a subtle and soft ambiance to the headshot. Achieving an outdoor headshot is straightforward; a simple solid-colored backdrop suffices as a background. However, select a favorable time of day and avoid direct sunlight, as it may cast harsh shadows and make the subject uncomfortable.
For a studio setup, utilize soft light boxes to achieve even lighting, which enhances professionalism. Conversely, excessive lighting types, such as direct lighting, can result in unwanted shadows that obscure some features.
