Actor headshots that look like you on a good day

Casting directors reject headshots that do not match the person who walks in. 100xglow keeps your real face and changes the light, the styling, and the background, which is the actual job of the photo.

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 100xglow preserves.

Common questions

Can I use an AI headshot for casting?

Casting directors care that the photo matches the person who arrives. 100xglow keeps your real face, so the photo stays honest. If your agent requires a photographer, follow their lead.

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.

What background should an actor headshot have?

Neutral studio is the safe default. A softly blurred street is a common theatrical look.

After: same person, professionally lit and finished
