SPOTLIGHT ON JENNIFER CARTRIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY - HEADSHOTS

Most headshots that I have seen are made to be safe. Let me set the stage. A neutral background in washed out greys and blues, one warm key light ,a body turned slightly to the side, arms folded just so, a polite half-smile and they aren't making eye contact with the camera. They are professional and perfect for some lines of work.

I don't make headshots like that.

HOW I MAKE HEADSHOTS

acting headshots

Your headshot is often the first line of your story.

my subject works mainly in small roles & commercials

It should feel like you.

I wanted him to have a wide range of emotions

I create headshots that are clean enough for professional use, but alive enough to feel human.

that way he can submit a photo that matches the role that he is auditioning for

WHO ARE THESE HEADSHOTS FOR

• actors, artists, authors, and performers who want something with mood and truth

• entrepreneurs and small business owners who want a natural non-corporate result

• professionals who what a headshot that captures you

• anyone who is updating a profile thinking please don't make me look like a stranger

  
  

Yes, this is the dreaded pose that I spoke of, but we are using it ironically. This set the mood for a "We have missed you" social media post.

WHAT YOU WILL GET

Depending on what you need, your session can deliver:

• a clean, classic headshot for official bios

• a more cinematic option for press, speaking, acting roles, or book jackets

• a set that includes both approachable + authoritative looks

• images formatted for web, social, and print.

WHAT IT IS LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER

If you feel awkward being photographed, you are in good company.

Here is where my theatre directing background shows up.

On stage, a director isn't there to force a performance. They are there to help the actor find the truth of the moment, to give you something playable, to adjust the timing, the angle, your position in the light until it clicks. A headshot session works the same way.

I will give you clear direction, simple actions that feel like you because they are. We will build the image the way you build a scene. The result are photographs that feel confident.

and pull emotions that make great pictures

THE PROCESS

• Quick consult - this can be completed by email or on the phone

• Choose your vibe - we can either set up a pinterest board where you can share images that have the vibe you are going for or simply have a discussion about what type of photos you love.

• Session day - guided, relaxed and efficient.

• Curated gallery - you pick your favorites and I deliver final retouched files ready to use.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I get both professional and creative options?

Absolutely, many clients choose a set that covers "official" & "cinematic."

What if I feel awkward?

That is perfectly normal. You don't have to perform. I will direct you gently and we will get there quickly.

Would you be willing to do all of our employees' (or group of actors or authors) at one time?

This works great for me and there are even discounts that come along when several sessions are booked at one time.
