A good actor headshot is the single most important marketing tool for any actor in Los Angeles. It is your calling card, and it is important to get it right.
When it comes to taking your acting headshot, don’t be afraid to scout professional photographers - it’s absolutely worth it. Paul took some time to look through other headshot photographers, but liked what we at Robert Olin Studio had to offer. Our approach to good actor headshots is our experience, and knowing the secret to getting it perfect. We go for personality over glamour, the real you over airbrushing.
Paul came in for a 1.5 hour unlimited look session, and achieved 6 looks during our time together. Check out his session below.
Alicyn is an acclaimed voice actor with an equally deep range in commercial and theatrical.
Professional acting headshots in Los Angeles are one of the key marketing tools for aspiring and established actors alike. In fact, your headshot is the first thing a casting director will look at: if your photo catches the CD’s attention, you will be able to move on to the next stage of impressing them with your demo reel and acting CV.
At Robert Olin Studio, we are dedicated to creating professional acting headshots that will not only look top-notch, but will tell your story and convey your unique character. At the end of the day, acting is all about telling a story.
Alicyn joined us for a 1.5 hour unlimited look session and accomplished 7 looks. You can see some of the shots below.
Notice how amazing Rodrigo looks in his acting headshot! When Rodrigo came to Robert Olin Studios, he was incredibly excited for the photoshoot and did an excellent job following our advice on how to prepare for actor headshots.
As such, he got a haircut around one week prior to his planned headshot session. He also started moisturizing his skin and drinking lots of water leading to his photoshoot. On the day of, Rodrigo got professional hair and makeup done (yes, men should get makeup too!). All of this not only helped Rodrigo look his absolute best, but also gave him a nice confidence booster.
Nate came to Robert Olin Studio for his first ever headshot session as a new actor with no representation.
For many of our less experienced clients, looking natural and relaxed in front of a camera can be difficult, but it is nothing to be afraid of. During the photoshoot, we explained ideal posing and expressions and made sure that Nate felt 100% comfortable in front of the camera.
The result? With our professional acting headshots in Los Angeles, Nate has got his first agent!
Debbie needed some new headshots. He old ones have become dated and too glamor. She wanted headshots that look like her and represent what she really looks like naturally. She questioned retouching….
When it comes to headshot retouching, there is a fine line between natural, unrealistic. Then there is basic color and contrast adjustments.
Even the best professional acting headshot in Los Angeles can be ruined with terrible retouching!
Since Robert Olin does all retouching in house, everything looks natural and crisp.
As an experienced actor (you may remember her from a popular Nickelodeon TV show Every Witch Way), Daniela knew that great headshots help get you auditions.
Believe it or not, wearing the wrong type of clothing for your Los Angeles professional acting headshot can make all the difference between getting 1-2 auditions a month and 1-2 auditions a week!
There are lots of guidelines, but no rules when it comes to wardrobe. We always recommend you look at the movies, commercials or tv shows your type gets cast and look at what they are wearing.
It is recommended to avoid wearing colors that contrast with your skin tone. Always bring a few extra outfits per look. This helps us to mix and match and to get some variety.
Daniela knew exactly what to wear for acting headshots. If you aren’t sure, we will help guide you carefully through the wardrobe selection.

Jonathan was the father of a kid Actor who had a session with us prior. Dad was now in need of a professional corporate headshot for his company.
He wanted a striking headshot that didn't look anything like what his competitor had and drew your attention. Jonathan did just that. So while Jonathan chose a 1 look session, he made the most of it and got a good range of looks to present to his company.
Well done!
