• Individual
rates starting from $275.00 -- recession prices!
• 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 send the form, it's also best to call as well.
Please leave all your contact phone numbers. I
can better customize a rate for anyone who contacts
me, especially acting beginners. The studio
can tailor a package for all.
• Don't
be afraid to fill out the contact form or call. We
can often match the cheaper headshot photographers
or come close -- depending on the package and day.
It's very personal here -- not a factory style operation.
We generally only shoot one person per day.
•
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
will easily recoup your fees with one good job.
• You
will get the best quality in the country -- remember
-- it's better to do a little with an A level photographer
than a lot with a B or C level one. When
it comes to photography, quality is a lot more important
than quantity!
• For
all returning actor clients, please note that I have a
special “refresh” session rate. You can
use this special two-look shoot throughout your career
to quickly capture your new look without buying a full
session. Please call for the current price!
STUDIO
VS. LOCATION
Not many
photographers do both well, but that choice is what you
both want and need., Many photographers don’t want
to bother with location shooting since it can involve problems
with the wind, hair issues, and even squinting, yet the
benefit is often greater translucent light with creamy
and interesting backgrounds.
Conversely,
many photographers don’t know how to master light
in studio. Yet when done well, studio shots give you crisp,
sharp eyes and compelling expressions with beautiful white,
grey, and black backdrops. An artistic photographer can
also manipulate many types of studio lighting, from soft
and flat to bright and striking, some with moody dramatic
shadows and textures. Regardless, the key is maintaining
options, and that is why you want someone who can do it
all well.
HORIZONTAL
VS. VERTICAL
Once
again, it’s best to use a photographer who can do
both. Horizontal offers the painterly and arty look that
catches people’s imagination, while verticals are
the industry standard and look great on the web. It’s
all about options, variety, and maximizing your choices. Regardless, as a photographer who has also shot for dozens
of magazines, I can offer you the unique look and experience
of being photographed in a personal style that fits your
own precise needs.
MISCELLANEOUS
NOTES:
• 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.
• 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.
• We
strongly recommend a live retouching session with you and
your photographer working together. Please inquire about
the current studio rates for this service.
• Turnaround
for digital headshot shoots is a usually 1-3 days. Rush
service is available, please inquire about the current
rates. |
