Actors need headshots to obtain acting work. Therefore, an actor needs to find a headshot photographer, a photographer who specializes in producing headshots for actors. A headshot photographer, unlike a general photographer, understands show business and understands what actors need in a headshot.

Finding A Good Headshot Photographer
    Because the actor's headshot is extremely important to his ability to find acting jobs and auditions, actors need to be sure they find a reputable headshot photographer. Actors who have a talent agency should ask their agency for advice in finding a good photographer. Actors who don't have an agency can still find great advice, by asking local actors about the photographers they may have used in the past.
