Why Match

Our team (photographers, producers, stylists, HMU) has supported campaigns for major brands and NYC theater/film productions. We apply that editorial discipline to actor workflow:

  • Casting-first strategy: targeted theatrical and commercial looks, plus roles-based variants (co-star, series regular, indie film).

  • Guided posing & expression (subtle range, face poses for models/actors) for authentic, castable energy.

  • Consistent lighting & color so your headshots pass QC on casting platforms and agent submissions (clean backgrounds, true-to-skin tones).

  • Realistic retouching—no waxy skin; we preserve texture for credibility on-camera.

Headshots

Your session can include hero theatrical, bright commercial, and specialty looks (quirky/character, lifestyle/environmental). We’ll advise on what to wear for a professional photo shoot (layers, neckline, color theory) and build a concise set that works across casting portals and PR.
