“Dylan was awesome! I am new to LA and this was my first time getting professional headshots done and he made it a very seamless process. He’s very professional yet easy going, has a great studio set up AND he sent over all of the photos within 24 hours (which is huge)!! The photos look great and I can’t wait to add them to my portfolio! Will definitely be using Dylan again for my next round of headshots 🙂”

A great acting headshot captures your true essence while remaining natural and professional. It should reflect your personality, casting type, and the kind of roles you want to be considered for. Good lighting, a confident expression, and a relaxed pose make all the difference.
Stick to solid colors that complement your skin tone and bring out your eyes. Avoid busy patterns, no logos, or overly trendy outfits. Bring different options so we can see what works best.
Natural is key! We always recommend that actors do their own hair and makeup if possible. This ensures that when you get called in for an audition based on your headshot, you can easily recreate the same look on your own. After all, your headshot should be an authentic representation of you—there’s no benefit in looking completely different in person.
That said, if your hair is more challenging to manage, we do recommend visiting a professional before your session to ensure it looks its best. The goal is to keep things simple, polished, and true to how you’ll appear in the casting room.
Sessions typically last between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of looks and outfit changes. We make sure to give you enough time to warm up and feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Yes, but subtly. The goal is to enhance your natural features while keeping you looking like yourself. We’ll remove minor blemishes, stray hairs, and adjust lighting to make your headshots look polished yet authentic.
You’ll receive all your images via Google Drive within 48 hours of your session. Once we receive your selections, you choose your favorites, final retouched images will be delivered within 3-4 business days.
We provide high-resolution files ready for both digital and print use. While we don’t print in-house, we can recommend trusted print shops that specialize in acting headshots.
Absolutely! If having someone there helps you feel comfortable, they’re welcome to join. However, we recommend bringing someone who will be supportive and not distracting.
We understand that things come up! If you need to reschedule, just let us know at least 48 hours in advance, and we’ll find a new time that works.
Indeed! There’s always plenty of free two-hour parking out front— except on Mondays and Tuesdays when street cleaning is in full force. But don’t worry, you can always drop off your outfits and then find a good spot. Dylan is also a semi-professional parallel parker, so if you need his assistance, don’t hesitate to call!
As for coffee, we’re always fully stocked with plenty of Nespresso pods and delicious Oatly Barista milk, so you can enjoy a double-shot cappuccino while we get you camera-ready!
Our studio is conveniently located at 1321 S. Orange Dr., Los Angeles, CA CA 90019.
