actor’s headshots of a young man in dc

June 25, 2014 by admin-91

acting headshot of an aspiring actor with his head tilted and a curious look actor headshot of a man with white shirt and a curious look headshot of a young actor with white shirt leaning his head playfully

this young man had just relocated to washington dc and was looking to get some actor’s headshots to take to casting calls. he booked a photo shoot on a september month hot on the heels of a slow august. though chances to pick up film roles are limited in dc, productions always need actors for movie extras. you can also find gigs in advertising if you have the looks.

when I asked him how he found out about sharpfocus photography, he said he googled ‘headshot photographers in dc‘ and we were on the top page. he sent me email to check for availability. he only brought a couple of changes of clothes. one shirt was a stark white. it’s not easy to photograph a white guy in a white shirt against a white backdrop. anybody will tell you it’s boring and ‘how you’re gonna do it?’ he had brought his iphone. so hooking it up to the stereo system was providing enough loud noise to keep him entertained.

I just started using a new studio in rockville, so he was gonna be my first client in the new setting. he’s young dynamic and not shy at all. it was just a question of setting the lights right to get enough contrast and shading. then, it was his turn to shine. give me his best poses and change and change. he was very comfortable changing poses and was taking instructions quite well. he had come with his mom but I didn’t realize it until the end of the shoot. we had to introduce ourselves. take care of payment. and I promised to send them the link to the pictures the same evening.

I will use Souleye's services again. He took a great passport photo of me and then handled all the rigmarole of printing the photos to US Passport Agency specifications. He also did some great shots for my professional website. He is a very patient and friendly person to work with.read more

I came to Sharp Focus photography for professional headshots for my website. The photographer was well prepared with various cameras, light setups and a makeup artist. The makeup artist did two styles with me, and the photographer got me from various angles and different lighting. Over all it was an enjoyable experience and he was very helpful with adding final touches to the images, making them look more natural and editing flyaway hair. Would definitely recommendread more

Souleye Cisse is a wonderful artist! He pays close attention to detail in order to create wonderful works of art with his clients. If you would like to create quality photographs with an artiste who takes his talent serious but, makes sure models are comfortable and appreciated, I highly recommend him. read more

Souleye is a great photographer and gets the job done. What impressed me was how involved he was after the shoot. He went beyond the job description and helped me get my new actor headshots done on the same day. I asked for an appointment on Thursday and had my shoots taken and touched on Saturday. He is also a great value. I would recommend him to my family and friends.read more

My experience working with this photographer was excellent. He really took his time and did a wonderful job. He took many different kinds of shots and I put on many different outfits. Sharpfocus photography does not have high prices, and can easily adjust to anyone's schedule. I was very happy with the way my photos turned out. Thanks Sharp Focus! read more
