Get it right

  • · Generate two looks minimum: a warm commercial smile and a neutral theatrical shot.
  • · Keep the crop chest-up with your face unobstructed.
  • · Natural and Editorial vibes only. Anything stylized gets binned.
  • · The photo must look like you today, which is exactly what glow preserves.

How many headshot looks does an actor need?

Two or three is the standard: a warm commercial look, a neutral theatrical look, and optionally one character-leaning shot.
