So do you want to be a model or an actor?
If you are an aspiring or established model or actor, I can help you create outstanding images for your portfolio. I’ve been photographing models for decades, and I know what editors, art directors, and casting directors want to see in your book, in your images, and on your comp or Zed card.
If you are just starting out, be sure to read my warning page. There is information available – directly from the Federal Trade Commission – about how to protect yourself against unscrupulous people “in the business.”
The fact is you will need great images of yourself, and that’s where I come in. I can help you get images that will get you noticed.
Erikarose chose George Sheldon Photography to create her portfolio.
Getting Started
Your first step is to setup an appointment with George Sheldon for your Headshots. The photography fee is literally the only money you should spend because if an agent likes you and your look, they’re gonna work with you (and for you). Remember, no legitimate agent will ever ask for money. Agents typically will have you work with a coach briefly to cover auditions, but then they work to get you out there so you can be hired.
You don't get a second chance to make a great first impression. Casting directors and agents will decide in seconds if they like your look - or not.
You will get good at going on auditions by doing them repeatedly. The more casting calls, auditions, and interviews you do, the better you will get at it. Eventually, you will start booking work. That is when your agent would then earn a ten percent (10%) commission.
If anyone claiming to be an agent asks you for money, they are not legitimate. If they are steering you to a particular photographer or “require” you to get your images from one particular studio, beware! That is a warning sign that the “agency” is merely a front.
Your Acting or Modeling Career Begins with Great Photography
Special Note:
I do not provide or sell comp cards. Any images I create for you will be ready for your printer. You can choose whoever you want to produce your cards. I will also give you a license and copyright release to use the images on your cards – as well as your Web site. You can find a list of Comp Card (Zed Card) printers here.
I can help you create the images you need to complete (or start) your comp card – whether you are looking for trade show gigs, acting jobs, or model shoots, I will work with you to create the images that work – so you get work. Let’s chat. Call me now at (717) 823-6541.
