Headshot Out of Date? Broke?

Actor Headshots Are Necessary Too!

Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees, and Headshots Don’t Pay for Themselves

A New York headshot photographer charges anywhere from $500-$1,500 (at least the well known, agent and casting director recommended photographers). Under ordinary circumstances, that’s a sizable investment for any actor or actress… now tack onto the equation a crapped-out economy and you’re looking at a recipe for stacks and stacks of mediocre or just plain bad headshots.

Ask any agent or casting director, “Are you seeing more bad actor headshots since the onset of the economic crisis?” and the answer is likely “YES! Too many!”

When you just don’t have the money to spend, you just don’t have the money to spend. If you need head shots right now, saving money might not be an option (and that credit card might be too burdened to add on even more debt). You might even find that you sacrifice what you want (an incredible shot that makes casting directors notice you) for something that you can afford.

Cheap Headshots Can Look Great

For a limited time, Coleman PhotoGraphix is giving the recession a great big middle finger, and giving you an opportunity to save money and still have a great headshot.

I’m an actor too, and I know how the economy has affected everything from the number of regional theaters putting out contracts to the size of the tips handed out by tourists in New York City.

And I know you need a break.

So as long as the economy is in the toilet, I’m happy to scrub back a little of the muck and make some space for the working actor.

All headshot sessions are marked down an average of 25%, saving you a lot of money.

And yes, I’m offering students a discount off of the recession rate too.

Full Headshot Session – $625 : Recession Special – $475
Budget Headshot Session – $425 : Recession Special – $325
Update Headshot Session – $275 : Recession Special – $200
Children’s Headshot Session – $325 : Recession Special – $275

UPDATE: After a lot of thought, I’ve simplified my rates–saving actors money, time, and the frustration of trying to get the shots they need from a “package”. Check out the new headshot rates!
