FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Print E-mail

DO YOU SHOOT COLOR AND ARE YOU DIGITAL?
Yes to both. Color is standard now and with digital you have the choice of printing in B&W and/or color. Digital is also an assurance that you’re getting the shots you need, as we view the images throughout the session.

 

DO I NEED TO SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION?
My sessions are guaranteed; therefore, I book many clients from my website alone. In addition, I offer telephone consultations for the busy and/or out-of-town client. However, if you’re more comfortable meeting in person, I would love to do so. Just give me a call at 212-387-2090 or email me at: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to schedule an appointment. After you’ve booked, I will follow-up with an information sheet via email on how to prepare for the session.

 


DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?
Yes, there is a $250 deposit to hold your booking date. All deposits are non-refundable and must be received within a week from the date booked. The balance is due on the day of shoot. Cash and major credits cards are accepted. Credit cards are accepted for payment online only. There is a $30 fee for credit card charges.

 


WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE?
There is a $75 rescheduling fee and at least one week's notice is required.

 

WHAT DO I WEAR?
Agents and casting directors are attracted to the life in your eyes and not necessarily your clothes, so don't wear anything that will distract them and take the focus off your face. Avoid patterns, logos or anything busy. Instead, concentrate on solid colors (blue, black, gray, green, brown, etc.), textures and necklines. Bring clothes that you would normally wear and feel comfortable in. If you really love something and are unsure, bring it and we'll decide at the shoot.

 

WHO DOES THE MAKE-UP?
Make-up is included in the rate and will be done by me. FOR WOMEN: My goal is always clean and natural make-up, not overdone. I will also do a few different looks if this is something you want. I do suggest that you get your eyebrows shaped a week or a few days before the session, depending on how fast they grow. This balances the face and does make a difference. FOR MEN: A light powder or foundation will be used to even the skin tone.

 

CAN I CONTRIBUTE TO THIS SESSION?
Yes! I want you to feel comfortable voicing your opinions and ideas. So please let me know them and we will work together to get the pictures that you want and need. And if you don't have any ideas and want to leave everything up to me, that's fine too. You're in good hands!

 

DO YOU OFFER GROUP DISCOUNTS?
Yes, if you’re in an acting class/program, college or just have other actor friends looking to get headshots, the following group discount applies. Everyone must shoot in the same month to receive discount.
Group Discount
3-5 people= $50 off each
6-10 people= $75 off each
Over 10 people= $100 off each

 

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SHOOT?
A week later your digital session will be uploaded to a webpage for viewing, ordering and sharing your images with others. The link will be sent to your email address.

 

DO I NEED RETOUCHING?
Don’t let anyone fool you; most actors, if not all, get retouching, and I highly recommend it. The key is to not overdo. It should enhance your look, not change it. This can be achieved by talking with your retoucher beforehand and making sure you are both on the same page as to what you need and want.

 

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
I'm conveniently located in Chelsea at 526 West 26th Street, 10th fl, Suite 1001 (bet 10 & 11 Ave). Take the E or C train to 23rd St., then take the M23 bus cross-town to 10th Ave., or walk up two avenues and walk over to 26th St. The studio is in the middle of the block.
