No problem. We charge $30 per image for a basic headshot retouch, which includes removing skin blemishes, slight teeth whitening, modifying the exposure, sharpening, cropping. We also offer advanced retouching at an additional cost, like beard removal, changing eye and hair color, adding digital makeup, changing the background, etc. 

I get this question a lot, especially from emerging actors. Yes, you can split the unlimited headshot package. You will have to share the amount of retouched images or just ask for additional ones. If you have further questions about headshot pricing feel free to give us a call.

Plain colors are your best choice for a headshot session. Prints or patterns distract attention and date your photo. Choose mid-tone colors in green, blue, purple, and wine because they are universally flattering. Avoid wearing tops in flesh tones like pastels, cream, beige, yellow, or peach as they will blend your face into your clothes. As there are usually two-layered clothes, don’t forget about matching the colors and tones. Read more about do’s and don’ts of headshot wardrobe on our website.

After scheduling the shoot, feel free to contact us for a complimentary wardrobe consultation.

Wear clothes that are comfortable and make you feel great. Bring specific clothing to create various characters. As most of our headshot sessions include unlimited looks, bring everything you like. Don’t forget to press your clothes to give them a new look. Bring glasses. A jacket or a suit is an excellent choice for men wishing to look more professional. Pay attention to details. Layers, ties, belts are an inseparable part of a headshot wardrobe. Try not to be too eccentric while creating a unique personality. Read more about what to wear for a headshot session.

Avoid busy patterns, big logos, stripes, and anything distracting. Remember, that the most important part of the headshot is your face, especially your eyes. Read more about what not to wear for a headshot session.

Most industry professionals do not recommend it

Whether you are planning to hire a stylist or do your hair yourself, make sure it looks natural. Do not overdo it. You can add some curl or wave. They look great in headshots. Note that most cuts look their best after one week. 

Every headshot photographer in Los Angeles would say “YES” because it guarantees the best result. Most makeup artists who cooperate with photographers offer hair services as well. The hair and makeup rates vary between $150-$200. However, if you know your hair better, like me, do your hair yourself!  

We strongly recommend it. Even for men. It reduces shine, makes retouching look more natural. See all the reasons why you should use a makeup artist for your headshot.
