Headshots / Rates

 

I love taking headshots. Too often in Los Angeles actors are overcharged and rushed through a headshot process that is more transaction than interaction. Shoot with me and you have no limit on looks inside the scheduled time. You get the entire session (everything that’s in focus…and a few that aren’t if I like them anyway!) color touched in full resolution. The resulting images will be the kind of beautiful and accurate representation of yourself that gets meetings.

 

RATES & INFO

Fees for work are non-refundable, barring technical issues during capture or post.

Hair and makeup can be arranged through several third parties (or your preference) and paid directly.  I’m happy to recommend talented people that I work with often.

 

TRAVEL/LOCATION WORK

All work booked outside of Los Angeles is considered Location Work. The full shoot rate must be paid at the time of booking and is not refundable but may be transferred to another booking.

 

STANDARD SESSION $400USD: 1 hour (then increments thereof), with no look limit.

This is the most popular of sessions. This process is very easy; it gives time for us to relax around each other. Retouching is not included but available at $65 per image.

 

QUICK SESSION $250USD: 30 minutes with no look limit.

Sometimes you just need a quick update. Many people get a lot of looks out of this session -it’s an excellent option if you update your shots often. This is also my recommendation if you’re booking a session for a young actor or if you’re a professional that just needs one great shot (and we all do). It’s best if you arrive hair and makeup ready so we can make the most of the opportunity. Retouching is not included but available at $65 per image.

 

EDITORIAL SESSION $1000USD: no set shooting time, no look limit, includes 2 retouches.

There is no set time limit and I only schedule one session in a full day – sessions last from two to three hours.  This way of shooting is about attaining images that will surprise yourself and your representation.  We’ll shoot not only headshots, but thoughtful and experimental images that will give your team new tools for getting meetings. My success rate with this has been fantastic – both from re-branding and rekindling an actor’s image with photographs that are aesthetically atypical and targeted at your originality. Generally I prefer to shoot the majority of these images in black-and-white, but color is no problem (just let me know ahead of time). This idea came from a hero of mine, and an old Hollywood legend, George Hurrell – whose images began to replace screen tests in the old studio system.  A great many of the images you see on this site are from Editorial Sessions.

THE SPACE

I shoot in my home in the Hollywood Hills; indoor and outdoor. Editorial sessions are done almost entirely in my garage that’s earned the nickname THE SHOP! I’ve long abandoned the model of stacking appointments in a studio space for it’s lack of warmth. It’s always a funny bit of conversation – but its a comfortable place to be still, where I can shape the light, and we will make beautiful images. I have a small friendly dog named Angel – if you have allergies or other issues please let me know.
