Re: Headshots
One of these months I'll get to the agency's photographer's* headshot days, but the schedule has never worked out. The guy I used previously has done headshots, but this was pretty thrown-together because I needed them immediately.
Also, on the angle - it's probably not to my advantage to shoot straight on, because I have a lazy eyelid (think Melissa Joan Hart, who also has a lazy eyelid...you don't see many straight on pics of her, and that's why) - it makes one eye appear squinty-er than the other. Straight on only emphasizes this. Most of the time, the photographer has been able to help me with this. I practice in the mirror and with my cell phone camera, but it is very difficult to shoot myself and think about my eye position and the same time. Also, the mirror isn't a lot of help, because the lazy eyelid doesn't appear as severe when it's not captured in still photography.
*The agency's photographer isn't *REALLY* the agency's photographer. He leases his office from the agency, but it's not required to use him or anything. It is a good idea, however, since he does do a ton of work for them, and is knowledgeable about what the industry requires. He's pretty reasonable, too - $125 for one look with makeup artist and hair stylist included.
