When is it best to get MULTIPLE headshots taken?
Advice from a leading professional Dallas headshot photographer: Let’s break this down by the kind of headshot you are looking for — because not all types of headshots are equal.
For actor headshots: You may need multiple headshots on hand at all times. This is especially true for acting and modeling headshots. For actor headshots, for example, the frequency of photoshoots depends on whether it’s to match a role you’re auditioning for, or whether you’ve recently changed your look. In these cases, then yes, having multiple headshots is certinly your best option.
For business headshots: For business headshots, often you want a more formal corporate portrait for your bio on your company website, or board of direcctor pages, but a more casual business headshot on client-facing communications like social media profiles.
For medical headshots: Another example of this is specific to medical headshots — you might need a lab coat headshot and also a suit jacket photo — depending on where your headshot appears.
For Real Estate Agent Headshots: Another good opportunity to take advantage of multiple photos in a single portrait session is for real estate agent headshots. I recommend a darker wardrobe for Fall/Winter season, and a brighter headshot with a little more color in it for Spring/Summer. This keeps you looking contemporary, relateable and (most importantly!) relevant all year around to never miss that valuable real estate opportunity.
For model headshots: your modeling portfolio should include headshots that have multiple looks — i.e. high fashion, jeans casual, athletic, styled to sell product (sunglesses, watch, etc.), friendly headshot and also a stern look.
Here’s a good case for needing multiple headshots (and I do have packages for 1-look, 3-looks and 5-looks headshot packages), but any photo session can be customized by your specific needs:
If you are a male actor or model, you should have a headshot with and without facial hair. If you are a female actor or model, you need headshots with multiple styles of hair. Here are a few other reasons you might need to update your headshots.
- Change of hair color
• Get your hair cut and/or styled your hair in a significantly different way
• Lose / gain of 10lbs or more of weight
• Any substantial cosmetic changes to your face / body
