Casting directors and agency bookers flip through hundreds of faces. Your images have seconds to say "this is a real, castable person": natural light-feel, honest retouching, and an expression with something going on behind the eyes. Actor headshots, model digitals, and portfolio work, all shot to agent spec.
Book a HeadshotAn actor or model headshot is not a corporate portrait. It must look exactly like you on your best ordinary day: minimal retouching, true-to-life skin, and framing that meets current casting and agency standards for Vancouver's film, TV, and fashion market.
We shoot multiple looks in one session, theatrical (dramatic, grounded) and commercial (warm, open), with wardrobe changes, so your agent has options for different submissions.
For models: clean digitals (polaroids) front, profile, and full length, plus comp card and portfolio frames. Shot unretouched where agencies ask for it, and delivered in the sizes and crops your agency specifies. And nothing is stiffly posed: sessions run on prompts and conversation, not held smiles.
Agency-ready frames for adults and kids: theatrical, commercial, and clean white-background submissions. Click any photo to see it full size.
Your selected images come back on the backdrop each submission calls for: white for digitals, grey or warm neutral for theatrical, colour when a casting brief asks for it.
"Had a great session with Volkan which resulted in excellent headshots to go with my actor's resume. I was made to feel comfortable and confident and I think it shows in the end result."
3–5 simple wardrobe options in solid colours, layers that suggest different types you're cast for. Avoid logos and busy patterns; the frame belongs to your face.
Very light: temporary blemishes and stray hairs only. Casting and agencies expect you to walk into the room looking like the photo; anything more works against you.
Most working actors keep both. We can cover the two looks in a single session with a wardrobe change and different direction.
Yes. If your agent or agency has framing, format, or style requirements, send them ahead and the session is shot to spec, delivered in the exact crops they ask for.
Yes. Digitals are shot clean and unretouched: front, profile, and full length, natural hair and minimal makeup, plain background. Comp card and portfolio frames can be added in the same session.
