Still not convinced you need to invest in a new set of headshots? Here are a few signs that you do:

  1. You’ve aged. If you’ve noticed some changes in the mirror, it’s probably a good idea to update your headshots. The reality is that your headshots need to look recent, so aging is the first good reason to consider updating your headshots.

2. You’ve updated your look. Have you lost a significant amount of weight, changed your hair, or had surgery? This is another sign that it’s time to schedule another headshot session with Cottrell Photographers. When people meet with you, if they don’t recognize you, it can come off as a little insincere.

Unfortunately, trends never last long, which means your headshots quickly become outdated.

4. You’re often contacted about jobs or projects that are not your specialty. This one is fairly specific to any actors reading this, but could easily apply to everyone in one way or another. If you frequently get calls about roles that aren’t your type, it’s time to consider whether your headshots are sending the right message.
