I suggest bringing everything you can on hangers and we’ll pick the best looks at the studio. To be safe though, bring a white, a grey, a black, and an eye-matching shirt along with a couple jackets.

We all have a type, and the goal of our shoot is to solidify and exemplify yours. Here are some real categories that have developed over time to help market new actors:

Business Professional

Medical Professional

Mom / Dad

Guy / Girl Next Door

Leading Man / Woman

Villain

Hero

Psycho
