Quite simply a good headshot should look like you at your absolute best without being a glamour shot.
It is really important that your eyes are switched on and connected with the camera. I often tell people that you need to stand out and make people wonder what is going on in your world and the best way is to choose a shot where your eyes are connected and there is a thought or a question in your mind that you are asking the camera and therefore the person looking at your picture.
This can be a really fun and funny process where there is no right or wrong result. Call it headshot improvisation if you like and this should be nothing new for any actor.
You also need to consider the need to look like your headshot when you arrive at a casting so think about things that you may wear and how you have your hair done etc and do this for your headshot.
You can imagine the frustration of a casting agents job when they ask to see someone because of their look and they end up looking totally different to their headshot.
Lastly it is really important that you feel good about your headshot and that it says a little bit about you and this can be a matter of being prepared with wardrobe choices and that you are well rested and fresh when you arrive for your shoot.

I really prefer natural light and on location for headshots where possible.
Natural light has a really beautiful and soft quality if you know what your looking for. It also ensures that you get a result that is a bit unique and helps make your headshot really pop and stand out.
Studio lighting is great when weather doesn’t permit being outside and you need to control the result. It is sometimes handy to have what I like to call a neutral headshot in your folio. What this means is on a neutral coloured background and evenly lit and the studio is great for this.
The process of working under natural light and on location is lots of fun and a bit more spontaneous which really helps produce a great looking headshot. There is just a lot more life and fun to this type of headshot and they are much less static and dare I say boring.
