HEADSHOTS

Jeffrey Nelson is a Los Angeles based headshot photographer. For over ten years, Jeffrey has been working with many of the top talent agencies, casting directors and entertainment managers. Jeffrey has an excellent understanding of what it takes to not only have an exceptional headshot from a technical aspect, but also one that gets an actor noticed. 

Jeffrey Shoots out of his studio located in the historic Whitley Heights. He uses a mixture of both natural and studio lighting to create the best look for each actor. His location and experience at headshot photography has led him to work with many of the top talent agencies, casting directors and entertainment managers in greater Los Angeles.

Understanding the importance of an exceptional headshot in the acting industry, Jeffrey uses his technical artistry to get actors noticed, combining the myriad aspects of lighting, wardrobe, hair, makeup and expression to create a photo of the actor that stands out from the hundreds—if not thousands—of photos that Casting Directors must sift through on a daily basis.

Jeffrey offers a variety of headshot packages: 

• Essential Headshot
• Double Headshot
• Deluxe Headshot

In addition to these packages, clients may choose to opt-in for a professional hair and makeup artist for more polished hair and makeup in the perfect headshot photos—an absolute must for anyone working in the industry.

“It’s not just about creating a well-lit, in-focus shot of someone; it’s about that first impression—that’s the essence of a headshot. Let’s be honest—Casting Directors go through hundreds of headshots daily, and in order to stand out, they need to see who you are. The image needs to create an emotion and a story about the person. When those two elements come together, that’s when I can help someone to create an extraordinary headshot.”
