Actor Headshots
Headshots are my specialty.
For more than 23 years, I have photographed actors, models, and performers at every level—from newcomers to recognizable working talent. My work is trusted by top agencies, managers, publicists, and casting professionals in Los Angeles, New York, Texas, and beyond because my goal is simple: your headshot should look like you on your very best day.
What truly sets me apart is my experience inside the entertainment industry. I have spent years observing award-winning feature film directors work with actors, consulting with casting directors, and learning what decision-makers respond to during the casting process. That insight allows me to coach talent in ways that go far beyond posing.
I don't simply photograph faces—I direct performances.
Throughout your session, I'll challenge you to connect emotionally, create authentic moments, and reveal different facets of your personality. Every expression should have purpose. Every image should tell a story. Casting directors aren't just looking for a great smile—they're looking for someone who already feels like the character before the audition even begins.
That combination of photography, directing, and industry knowledge is why Canterbury Photography has become one of the most referred actor headshot studios in the country.

Session Pricing
Session pricing is based on the number of looks photographed.
A look consists of a complete outfit, including both your top and bottom. During each look, you can easily create additional variety by adding or removing layers such as jackets, sweaters, scarves, or accessories. This often gives you the appearance of multiple looks without increasing the session price.
Hair & Makeup
If you would like to work with a professional Hair & Makeup Artist (HMUA) during your session, you will need to book an Extended Session to allow enough time for hair and makeup changes.
The Extended Session includes additional photography time but does not include the stylist's fee.
Professional hair and makeup services typically range from $200–$300, depending on the studio location, and are booked and paid directly to the stylist. Both of my studios feature a fully equipped hair and makeup station.
If you choose to arrive camera-ready, I am always happy to make minor adjustments or touch-ups before we begin. While I don't provide complete hair and makeup services, I will gladly help fix anything that isn't translating well on camera.
Come Prepared
The more prepared you are, the more successful your session will be.
Please review my TIPS page before your appointment for wardrobe recommendations, grooming advice, and everything you need to know to get the most from your headshot session.
After Your Session
Within 14 business days (Monday–Friday), you will receive a secure download link containing your high-resolution images, along with access to a private online proofing gallery. Your gallery will remain available for 30 days.
If you are represented by an agent or manager, I strongly recommend consulting with them before making your final image selections.
Once you've made your choices, simply email me the file numbers of the images you'd like retouched. The number of professionally retouched images included is determined by the session you purchased. Additional retouched images or specialty crops are available for an additional fee. An invoice with a secure payment link will be provided.
Final retouched images are typically delivered within 14 business days (Monday–Friday) after your selections are received. Editing is completed in the order received unless rush processing has been requested.
Investment
Every actor's career stage and marketing needs are different, so I offer several session packages designed to fit a variety of goals and budgets. Whether you're just starting out, updating your portfolio, or building a comprehensive set of casting images, I'll help you choose the session that's right for you.
