[I:http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com/extras/pics/jeffbarsonthumb41.jpg]Figuring out how to find the best actor headshot photographer is difficult for any performer.

If you go through some headshots over the internet, you will see thousands of great ones, but it is probably because the best ones were chosen out of hundreds of shots in a photo session. You have to wonder what the actor really looks like. But if you run across a selection of very good shots and they happen to be from the same photographer, you may have found the one for you.

To be on the safe side, interviewing more than one or two photographers will be in your best interest. After all, it is going to cost some money, so you want to make sure that you are going to get a good series of shots out of the session. Patience on the part of the photographer should be on the top of your list of priorities. If he or she is not going to be patient with you, , you will not have a good photo session experience. They should study you, and point out the best possible ways they will photograph you to get you your best roles.

Procedure should also be addressed. He will tell you what types of clothing to bring to the set, in order to get four or more different looks that you will use on your comp card. The procedure should briefly take you through what he will do to change the looks, so that agents, producers and directors will be intrigued by what they see.

He or she may start with no makeup at all, or maybe a little lip gloss. The lighting should be great and actually subdue some facial flaws. As the session progresses, you will change clothing, and more makeup will be applied. Towards the end of the session, you will have had several outfit changes, more makeup applied, and a final more glamorous look at the end, although still not heavily made up. Women might want more of a made up look to attract more glamorous roles.

When all is done, you should have a hard time deciding what four or five completely different looks to choose from for your comp card. There should be one fabulous shot for your 8 x 10s, and another for the internet. If you have found the right photographer to give you the different looks you need to be noticed, you have used the best actor headshot photographer.

As you get your headshot or comp card made up, make sure you find a really good pro headshot photographer in NY or LA, and find some great headshot photos that you want to use to guide your own photographer.
