Atlanta Acting Headshot Photographer | Theatrical & Commercial
Actor Headshots That Book
Industry-standard theatrical and commercial headshots from an acting headshot photographer who is also a working Atlanta actor. I know what casting directors need to see. Let's get you the shots that open doors.
I've Been on Both Sides of the Camera. And Both Sides of the Casting Table.
For most photographers, headshot sessions are purely technical. Good light, decent direction, decent results.
Working with me is different. Because I've been where you are.
I'm a working actor, represented and actively performing in film, television, and theatre. I've also worked as a casting associate on the production side, which means I've spent time evaluating headshots, not just taking them.
I bring all of that into the session with you. When we talk about your type before we shoot, I'm drawing on real industry experience. When I'm directing your expression or helping you choose your final images, I understand what casting is actually looking for — because I've been in that room too.
You'll leave with more than good photos. You'll leave better prepared for what comes next.

Headshots That Book Real Work
Actors I've photographed have booked principal and recurring roles with Marvel, Netflix, Hulu, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, and Broadway national tours.
Closer to home, my clients perform at virtually every professional theatre in Atlanta, including Alliance Theatre, Aurora Theatre, Theatrical Outfit, Actor's Express, and Synchronicity.
A headshot doesn't book the role. The actor does. But the right one gets you in the room, and that's the part I take seriously.

Child & Teen Actor Headshots
Atlanta casts a lot of young performers, and their headshots matter just as much as any adult's. Casting wants to see the kid who will actually walk in the room: bright, present, and unmistakably themselves.
Sessions with kids and teens move at their pace. Parents are welcome in the studio the whole time, and I keep the direction light and playful so real personality comes through instead of a stiff, posed smile.
Young actors grow and change quickly, so we focus on a current, honest look that agents and casting directors can trust when your child shows up to set.
- Parents stay in the studio for the entire session
- Direction that keeps kids relaxed and having fun
- Current, honest looks agents can submit with confidence

Theatrical headshots are more serious and dramatic, perfect for film, TV drama, and stage auditions. They showcase depth and character complexity. Commercial headshots are brighter, friendlier, and more approachable - ideal for commercials, print ads, and lifestyle roles. We capture both styles in every actor session.
Most importantly, bring clothes that you love to wear and feel great in! Your confidence shows through when you're comfortable. Consider the types of roles you want to target and steer your wardrobe choices in those directions. Bring 4-6 outfit options in solid colors that complement your skin tone. Avoid busy patterns, logos, or all black. Include options for both theatrical (darker, more serious tones) and commercial (lighter, more casual) looks.
Most actor headshot sessions take 60-90 minutes, allowing time for multiple looks, outfit changes, and both theatrical and commercial shots. This gives us flexibility to capture the perfect images that represent your range and casting type authentically.
