What should I wear?

Wear what makes you UNIQUE. After reading my free guide , all questions regarding wardrobe will be really easy for you to answer. It will be a fun, creative experience that will give you total ownership of your headshot session.

Just one note: BRAS - Ladies, please note that some straps will show, make sure you bring different bras to match your outfit.

Can I do my own hair and makeup?

Yes, but you need to meet a certain level of proficiency. Email me with a photo of your proposed base makeup so that I can tell you if we can work with it. I believe actors should acquire makeup skills and use them in their careers.

Before Hair and Makeup

Whether you decide to use a HMA or DO IT YOURSELF, clean hair and face are easier to work with.

Can I wear jewelry?

Headshots focus on you, so avoid anything too distracting, but if it is something you always wear and is part of what makes you UNIQUE, bring it so that we can integrate it into the looks.

When will I get my headshots?

You will get your proofs within 3 business days uploaded to a password protected gallery.

Once you select your favorites from your gallery it will take 7 working days for your retouched hi-definition headshots to be delivered to you.

Can I get my .raw Images?

I do not deliver my .raw images. If you want the .raw images, I will assume you will be using them for commercial purposes and you will have to buy the licensing rights for your gallery.

Do I get my full gallery for download?

No, you will get the images that you select for retouch. The look of the image is finalized during the development and retouching phase, and therefore non-retouched galleries are not representative of my final work.

Where are you located?

Gowanus - Brooklyn. Right next to the R, F and G trains.
