MediaMix: Behind-the-Scenes
Headshot is the first thing any professional will see. Making a great first impression is very important. Any actors’ headshot should show an accurate reflection of what is required, the right emotion and versatility with the model headshot having a creative license. We have listed common mistakes to avoid when casting for corporate headshots in central NJ.
Not Having One
Although it seems obvious, some people do not have a cast. Casting experts never have a lot of time; they will most likely ignore any applicant who does not have a headshot.
Not Using a Recent Photo
In case you are fond of changing hairstyles or appearances, it is advisable that you try keeping the headshot up to date with your latest appearance. Even if you do not change your look often, it is a good idea to have the headshot updated on a yearly basis.
Even if you have a recent photo, any top casting professional will only have time for your headshot. Never show up for cast in a different look!
Using a Snapchat Filter
You will look unprofessional when you use filters for a headshot. Filters do change your appearance. However, a casting professional is only interested in seeing a real you and not some version of yourself.
Using a Selfie
You will never give the best first impression when you use a selfie for your headshot. Although it can at times be tempting to take a quick selfie inside your car, this will do more harm than good.
When you are just starting out, you need not fork out money to hire a professional headshot photographer. Instead, you can request a family member or a friend to help you in taking a photo.
You can also consider checking a job site since there might be a photographer who is willing to collaborate with you. Selfies’ can easily distort how you look due to the angle they are taken.
Going With a Bad Quality Photo
I mean using blurry, low resolution or poorly lit photos. Nowadays, most people do have high-resolution cameras integrated on their cell phones making it easier for them to get great headshots.
Use of natural lights will help ensure that your photos are explicit and that no harsh shadows are blocking your face. Ensure you are facing the light source, for example, window and the person taking the photo should stand between you and the source of light. You will want the light pouring over your face and not on your back.
In case you are still not sure, you can go through hundreds of headshot photography guidelines on YouTube or request an Instagram savvy friend to help out.
Knowing some common mistakes people make when taking corporate headshots in central NJ will be of great help since it will help us give you a great headshot. The more we are aware of what to avoid when taking a headshot the easier it will be for us to get a quality and unique shot.
