GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The main goal of the shoot is to get great
photos in a relaxing and fun environment, which will enhance
your portfolio and hopefully get the phone ringing for you.
What we are trying to achieve are photos that capture how you
would look coming through the door to your audition -- photos
that show your personality at its best: spontaneous, relaxed,
natural and elegant. Photos should have an interesting
composition and spark that make them compelling, something
that stands out from the other photos of people in your age
range and physical type. Photo shoots are a creative process,
like acting, and should be fun. Remember to bring your favorite
CDs to the shoot. |

COST OF THE DIGITAL SHOOT
(Note:
This page is for consumers (independent actors and models,
musicians, small corporate jobs, artists, etc). If you
are an advertising, editorial, or other type of company
client, please see the relevant sites linked from kenweingart.com to
inquire about photography rates and usage licensing for
your projects. Feel free to e-mail the
studio or call LA (310) 395-4613/ NY (800) 754-9792 for
more information.)
Keep
in mind, that if it comes out well, photos from a successful
photo session can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. You will
not regret the extra investment since you can often recoup
your fees with one good job. And remember, that 100 exposures
with a great photographer is better than 1,000 with an average
one. When it comes to photography, quality is a lot more
important than quantity!
• For more current rate info, please fill out the CONTACT
FORM, call LA
(310) 395-4613/ NY(800) 754-9792 or
send an e-mail. If you do the
form, it's also best to call as well. Please leave all your contact phone numbers. There
should be a rate for everyone who contacts me even acting beginners and newbie's.
• Digital files burned to CD at the end of the shoot to take home are included
with each package. The files provide you with the ability to go either color
or black and white. A post session consultation to review images is included
with each package.
• In many cases retouching is not necessary. If you need it done, I can
offer my services or refer you to a lab.
• Turnaround for digital headshot shoots is at the end of the shoot.
• LCD readout preview is included. This is the chance to decide if any of
the choices made -- about hair, clothes etc -- should be kept, adjusted,or eliminated,
before we shoot.
• Later, I will also tell you where to go to get reproductions. The reproduction
house does the typeset, borders, etc. Reproductions are made directly from the
digital files with no generation loss. (about 50¢ to 90¢ each)
• The hair and make up artist is outstanding, natural style, and stays the
entire shoot. Please ask for what you want and check the mirror and LCD to see
that you are happy. Any discrepancies will be gladly adjusted. Remember, that
any suggestion you have about anything must be voiced at the time of the shoot,
not after the shoot. Women: If you hire a hair and make-up, please come with
no make-up on. Have your hair as close as possible to how you wear it at an audition.
Hair and make up is not mandatory, and you are welcome to bring your own artist
or do your own.
•Note:
If you're interested, we may be able to assist you in finding
appropriate acting and modeling representation.

TO BOOK A SHOOT
• To
book shoot, a retainer fee will be left for one half
the total. Cash or money order is preferred, but I am
now set up to accept all major credit cards if required.
There is a 3% card fee for payment by credit cards. The
balance will be paid at the end of the shoot. (All retainer
fees are non-refundable/non-transferable -- all sales
are final)
• Postponements must be made at least three business days prior to the shoot
date. After the shoot is booked, we will discuss in specific detail all key points
of shoot -- (lighting, clothes, commercial vs. legit. etc.) |

WHAT TO WEAR
• Avoid noisy patterns, stripes, logos etc.
Tops should have interesting neck lines and be very dark or
very light
for separation. Medium tones and pastels are not as good.
Textures in clothes are good (e.g. ribbed)
• The tops will determine the look of the shoot. Bring a variety of necklines, textures, light and dark fabrics. Also, include light and dark undergarments with no textures. Feel free to bring what you feel most comfortable in.
• For the bottom, one good pair of blue jeans, black jeans, black slacks and black shoes is all you need.
• If you have glasses, please be prepared take out the lenses or to bring an extra frame without the lenses. |
