Can I use one type of headshot for film, TV and theatre?
You can use just one type of headshot for film, TV, and theatre — but not if you really want to work that much. I think it’s a good idea to have different photographs for film, for television, for theater. If the part you’re going in for is some tough guy hitman in a movie, you don’t want that spritely, commercial look that you have with a suit and tie in your commercial shots. If you’re going in for a television series then you probably don’t want that, if you’re going in for a television sitcom for example you don’t want that heavy film look where you look like you’re ready to pull out the gun and shoot everybody in sight. There are different forms and every one of them has a different touch. So you want to be able to tailor your look to whatever the particular job is.
