Event
The Best Way to Promote Yourself as an Actor
Theatre Pros is hosting an event with casting directors from theatres and agencies and headshot photographers aimed at helping actors figure out the best way to promote themselves. Sometimes the only thing a casting agent or theatre sees of you is your headshot and resume, and it can be those two pieces of paper that stand between you and an audition and therefore a job. Come spend an evening with these professionals, and get the best advice on how to promote yourself. Remember, you are your business.
Speakers:
Randy Michael Korwin: Chicago's New Headshot
I never liked it when getting your picture taken was painful experience, even when I was in front of the camera. I feel the relationship between the client and photographer is identical to you and your Barber. My job is to make you look your best in front of the casting directors, agencies and online. While shooting for other photography studios, I was able to find my craft and approach to getting the shot during a session. I inherited my families' work ethic and stubbornness on getting the job done right the first time. Spending time with someone, making them feel relaxed, and getting them comfortable in front of the camera is more important than what camera or gear I shoot with. Don't worry! I shoot with all the latest Canon equipment and technology allowing you to see each image as we shoot it.
