Actor Headshot Session — Cinematic Portraits. Stanislaw.
This actor headshot session was created to build a professional image for film and acting portfolios.
The photos were taken in a controlled studio setup, using a dark background and subtle contrasts.
Client: Stanislaw, actor.
Usage: acting portfolio, casting websites, talent agencies, and industry media.
The goal of this session was to capture the client’s personality and expression while maintaining a natural yet professional portrait style.
Lighting & Technique – Classic Approach to Actor Portraits
The photo session used a two-light setup: a key light and a fill light to soften shadows. This highlighted facial features and conveyed emotional depth.
A softbox provided gentle illumination, while a stripbox defined the outline of the figure. The result: cinematic-style portraits perfect for acting portfolios.
