Ariana - Actress, Model, Teenager {Headshot}

I've taken Ariana's pictures a number of times and each time I find that she has so many expressions so each images seems to be of a different person.  Or at least photographed on a different day.

This session we focused on headshots for Ariana's acting career.
 
But most actors also need a few other shots, maybe showing them in glasses or laughing hard, or in a really colorful shirt and torn jeans. Because if everything goes well at their audition the casting director will say ... "This headshot is great ... do you have anything else??" meaning other poses, other looks or expressions.
So I shoot "modeling shots" of actors as well.  This allows the actor to create a composite ( aka ZED ) card that they can "whip out" if they are asked ... "do you have anything else?"
 
And for models I do the opposite and shoot some headshots. 
Always do a little extra for the client and they will remember that you did.
