Headshots for Los Angeles Actors

Avi Simon—Not Just A Photographer

I’m not just a headshot photographer.  I have over 20 years’ experience in Los Angeles as an actor, acting coach, and personal manager.  I know what casting directors are looking for, I coach you to present looks that sell, and I capture those looks in compelling headshots that show off your unique personality and talent.  I will guide you through the entire process of creating the best headshots for you...headshots that work.

What Los Angeles Casting Directors Look for in Headshots

Los Angeles casting directors aren’t looking for beautiful photographs.  They’re looking for interesting actors who can play believable characters.  Headshots that look like “real people” get calls.  Headshots that look like “actor headshots” get  ignored.

Headshots That DON’T Work

There are many, many talented actors in Los Angeles who aren’t getting work because of bad or mediocre headshots.  Their headshots lack individuality, look fake, or just don’t look like them.   The best actors don’t always get called in.  The actors with the best headshots DO.

Headshots That DO Work!

I will help you get the headshots you need to succeed as an actor in Los Angeles.  These headshots will:

· LOOK like you when you walk in the door

· SHOW that you’re an actor who is able to be simple and real

· CAPTURE unique qualities that set you apart from thousands of other actors in Los Angeles being submitted for the same role

· POP on the screen and grab the attention of Los Angeles casting directors

The Process

Several days before we shoot, we’ll have an in-person consultation.  We will brainstorm and creatively come up with character types you should be auditioning for in film and TV.  Clothes, accessories, and backdrops are selected that will contribute to a strong and powerful statement of these unique looks.  While shooting, I’ll coach and direct you to think the character’s thoughts so that I can capture the best expressions for each character.  I don’t just photograph you.  I photograph you with a clear goal in mind — getting the part. 

With the emphasis on “REAL”, I shoot exclusively with natural light.  I am centrally located in Los Angeles near The Grove.

Getting In The Door

It sounds simple, but most photographers do NOT have the in-depth knowledge of acting, casting, and photography to best guide you through the entire process of creating effective headshots.  In the competitive world of Los Angeles film and TV, my headshots have proven results at getting actors “in the door.”
