The system Anthony Mongiello uses to create acting headshots that get actors called in — informed by 18+ years of working with actors, agents, and casting directors in Los Angeles.
Before picking up a camera, we define your most castable types. The best headshots don't try to show everything — they show the specific character you are most likely to be hired to play.
Wardrobe communicates character before a word is spoken. We guide every client through wardrobe selection to match their casting type and ensure clothing doesn't distract from their face.
Studio lighting is tailored to each client's skin tone, facial structure, and casting type. We shoot with the Canon EOS R5, a 45-megapixel camera that captures exceptional detail under controlled studio conditions.
The best headshots capture authentic expression — not a manufactured smile. Anthony directs clients through specific scenarios and emotions to draw out genuine, castable looks.
Professional retouching removes temporary blemishes while preserving natural skin texture. Over-retouched headshots don't get actors called in — they look fake. We find the right balance.
