Below are some industry professionals & services that we highly recommend
BEST NYC HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHERS
Melissa Hamburg Photography: Melissa’s photos have been successfully used for film, stage and television casting, book jackets, CD covers and corporate promotion. Her headshot photography encompasses the most desirable combination of elements to produce an honest, quality representation of every subject. A spacious, naturally lit studio and a fun, casual atmosphere encourage each person to feel relaxed and to enjoy the moment.
Jordan Matter Photography: If you tell Jordan that you were referred by Jennifer Rudolph, you will receive $100 off. Although I advocate not spending more than $500, Jordan's prices are a bit more but I believe he offers a lifetime guarantee or a reshoot rate that is extremely generous. His work is outstanding.
BEST L.A. HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHER
Leyna Juliet Weber is awesome and very affordable. Like Melissa Hamburg, Leyna has a wonderful knack for capturing an actor's essence on camera and every actor truly looks like their headshot. She makes actors feels very comfortable in her presence which further allows them to just let go and be themselves which is what we as casting directors want to see.
