Sorry, but…what in the world are “gauges”?

I know this page says NO JEWELRY for headshots. But does that also include gauges? Mine aren’t that big, I can shrink them back to normal but I would prefer to wear them. Would my headshots wearing gauges alter any of my chances if seen by someone important?

By the way, this site is awesome! So much help.

Depending on how often you change your look – and how drastic the change is – it could become quite expensive to keep on changing your headshots, too. You’re better off shooting once every couple of years (only children need to shoot more often than that, since they’re constantly growing, etc.) and coming up with a few alternative styles within each shoot. In other words, since you’re a guy, you might go in with a few days’ facial hair, take a few pictures with that look, then shave and do clean-cut for the rest of the shots. Same thing with hair (no! don’t shave it off!), if it’s a flexible length. Try combing it in a couple of different styles. Practice in front of your mirror at home prior to the shoot, so you know beforehand what you can and can not do. ONE CAVEAT: (And this goes for females, too, of course.) If you change your hair color and intend to keep the new color indefinitely, you MUST get new headshots. There’s nothing worse than a blond walking in for an audition when casting was expecting a brunette!

Should I get a new headshot every time I get my hair cut into a different style (even if it isn’t too drastic?

It’s already there, Kat. Go to the “Must Have” page and you’ll find “Notes On Resumes” in the middle of the article.

Glad you’re enjoying the website. That’s what we like to hear!

Hi. I was just wondering, would you guys mind putting a list of the information that SHOULD be on the back of your headshot, because i need that information. Thanks! This is a great website!

Just wanted to thank you for including me on your list! If you’d like please let your readership know that I’d be willing to give them a bonus ‘look’ if they mention they found me on this site. Cheers, J
