Due to demand, Headshot sessions are being scheduled for approximately one month in advance. Portrait & Headshot Options... Portraits, headshots.... what's the difference? Please note... most of my work is now dance and theatrical photography. I still love doing actors headshots when schedule allows so don't hesitate to reach out. Actor / Model Headshots - Working professionals, or those aspiring to become one, know that a top-quality headshot can make or break an opportunity. Often, you only have a few moments in front of a casting director to make an impression. Your headshot, the one thing left behind after an audition, has to "pop" in order to cut through the hundreds of others sitting on the director's desk. As a Peter Hurly protégé, you will get top-notch theatrical and/or commercial headshots that will make casting directors and agents take notice! Dancer Portraits and Audition Photos - Audition photos require a very special touch and, as actor/model headshots, can serve to reinforce the impression you make to the Artistic Director. Ballet companies require a headshot and one photo in first arabesque as part of the audition portfolio. We can meet the specific needs of other companies as requested. Additionally, we do HD video auditions should the need arise in your case. For ballet, we strongly recommend that a ballet master be present to assist in position and posing. We can arrange if desired. Portraiture - ...is primarily about capturing the essence of the subject, often exploring the elements of background, lighting and personality to result in a uniquely personal statement. The result should be a photograph that demands attention and serves as a window to the soul of the subject.

Commercial, actor and model headshots provide for two poses intended for headshot use, Commercial and Theatrical, usually done against a white or black background. The session will result in no more than 16 proofs of the photographer's selection from which you will choose no more than 8 images which will be post-processed (retouched) and delivered as high-resolution images electronically. Headshot pricing reflects the simpler nature both of the session and the minimal post-processing needed. Dance audition sessions provide for two outfits if desired and are usually done against a white or black background. The session will result in no more than 30 proofs of the photographer's selection from which you will choose no more 15 images which will be retouched and delivered as high-resolution images electronically. Sessions can be done using either flash or continuous lighting. My preference for performing artists is continuous lighting unless freezing motion is critical to the session.
