Authentic, castable headshots for actors, models, and performers. Real direction, a range of looks in one session, and honest, natural expression, in studio or on location around LA.
BLINK Photo Co. shoots actor headshots in Los Angeles for working performers, new talent, and models building a book. A great casting headshot has to look like you when you walk into the room, so we skip the over-retouched, glossy look and focus on honest expression and eyes that connect. Whether you need clean commercial headshots, dramatic theatrical looks, or both, we direct you through it so the camera catches the real thing instead of a frozen pose.
Every session gives you a range of looks in one sitting, with wardrobe and lighting changes that show your type and your range. We shoot in the studio or on location around LA, from Hollywood and Silver Lake to Santa Monica, Culver City, Burbank, and Pasadena, and we can travel nationwide for talent based elsewhere. You review selects with us and get hand-retouched finals in a private gallery, sized and cropped for casting sites, agencies, and self-tapes.
Theatrical headshots with the depth and honesty casting looks for, plus commercial looks for a full range.
First professional headshots that give you a strong, castable foundation to submit and sign with an agent.
Clean, versatile images for comp cards and portfolios, with a range of looks in one session.
Approachable, personality-forward headshots for on-camera hosts, presenters, and voiceover talent.
Most actors want at least a commercial look and a theatrical look, since they read very differently to casting. In one session we can cover a few distinct looks with wardrobe and lighting changes so you have the range agents and casting sites expect.
Bring solid colors that fit your types, avoid busy patterns and logos, and pack a few options so we can adjust on set. Think commercial versus theatrical, and bring wardrobe that helps sell each. We will guide you through the choices before we shoot.
Yes, but lightly. Casting needs to recognize you in the room, so we keep retouching natural, cleaning up temporary blemishes and stray hairs while leaving the features that make you you. Every final select is hand-edited, not run through a filter.
Both work, and many actors get a mix. Studio gives clean, controlled backgrounds, while natural light and outdoor settings add a softer, more lifestyle feel. We shoot in the studio or on location around Los Angeles depending on the looks you want.
We review selects together so you help choose your set, then deliver hand-retouched finals in a private online gallery within a few business days. Files come sized and cropped for casting platforms, agency submissions, and self-tapes.
We are based in Los Angeles and shoot across Santa Monica, Culver City, Burbank, Pasadena, Century City, Downtown LA, and Beverly Hills. For talent based elsewhere we travel nationwide, with travel quoted per booking.
Areas served: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Culver City, Burbank, Pasadena, Century City, Downtown LA, Beverly Hills, and Orange County, plus nationwide on request.
