The open Hollywood secret is that whenever an actor’s magnetism can be captured in a headshot it will generally translate favorably to stage or screen. And the role of a good photographer is to quietly catch their subject’s charisma in a relaxed moment of animation that reveals their individual attitude and likeableness. Since no two personalities or viewpoints are identical, close attention to even the minutest details of lighting, background, attire and makeup is mandatory.
