Theatrical Headshots for Film and TV should feel grounded, more type-specific, and powerful to compete well in the Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New York markets.
We accomplish this using:
studio lighting (or a combination of natural and studio light)
more type-specific outfits for your teen
unique backdrops (that can even sometimes feel like a set!)
and more serious or powerful expressions and poses.
Here are some more examples of Teen Headshots for Film & TV (Known as Theatrical Acting Headshots):
Headshots for teens in theater should feel semi-serious and have more simple backgrounds.
We like to take inspiration from New York style headshots with simpler backgrounds, outfits, and light.
These types of headshots are perfect for kids that are actively on the stage, and especially teenagers who make it into summer theater programs.
Eldeen Annette was amazing to work with for my daughter’s headshots! She immediately made us both feel at ease and made my daughter feel confident and comfortable during the whole process. We’re so happy with how the headshots turned out!

For the girls, I always recommend adding our professional hair and makeup artist to the session. This way, your teen actor looks as professional as possible). We keep the hair and makeup youthful and flawless.
For the guys, I recommend the stylist if he has acne or other skin issues.

I have a long history of working with teen actors, acting coaches, and agencies, as I also have a teen actor (she’s been represented for over 10 years now!). I have a good understanding of what agencies are looking for in teen headshots. I also know the difference between markets - for instance, Florida commercial headshots should look different than Los Angeles film/TV headshots. Even though both need to look youthful, everything from the lighting to the outfit and expression are different for each market.
New York also has different needs for the theater teens.
I also LOOOOVE working with teens (they are my favorite type of client - shhhhh :)
I actually majored in opera, and have been an actor myself on the stage! We are a fun bunch, us actor types :)
-
Yes and no.
I have some guides to get you going, but ALL AGENCIES have different opinions on everything form patterns and textures to colors and layers. You will need to ask your coach or agency what is best for your teen to wear.
If you are on your own for deciding, I will guide you toward clothing that should please any agency (keeping it simple :)
-
Teen headshots start at $250 for one look and go up from there! Pricing varies depending on how many looks you need and if you purchase the professional HMUA (hair and makeup artist).
-
I’m afraid not. My opinion is going to vary from yours and sometimes even the agencies’ opinions.
The best way to choose is to consider if the headshot represents your teen’s unique personality and true smiles.
Each look includes:
The session time (varies for each child :)
Unique backdrop / scenario per look
2 images, retouched, per look (with 40 to choose from)
