I needed new head shots. I also knew I’d be shaving my beard for the Tell-Tale Heart shoot. So I scheduled a head shot photo shoot right before the Tell-Tale film shoot in order to schedule my shave in the middle of the photo shoot and get a bearded and a clean shaved 8X10 pic.
To show I am a versatile actor. I can play bearded and smooth cheeked fellas.
The shoot went pretty well and I have lots of nice options to choose from. But in a two hour session with hundreds of clicks of the camera, some unfortunate shots are about to happen.
So I thought it would be fun to share some of these photo blunders in a Head Shot Blooper Gallery. Enjoy.
One cardinal rule of head shots is to look into the camera…
It also helps to keep your eyes open…
Don’t scowl. Not likely to make a usable actor’s head shot…
Every actor should know how to find their light…
It also helps if the picture is taken after the groomer leaves the frame….
