If you are shopping around for a professional headshot photographer in Los Angeles, pay attention to their example headshots. This can be their corporate headshots or their acting headshots. You might notice that they look similar to each other. The people change, their outfits are different, maybe even the backgrounds change sometimes. But you might start to see that how their faces are lit is usually very much alike. Same for how the backgrounds are lit.
This is not technically wrong but it is a sign the photographer is limited, either in technical ability or by the number of equipment resources they have for headshot photography sessions – not enough quality lights, backgrounds, studio space, and so on. If you like their look regardless, this is okay but then do you also like their prices for the limitations they have?
With The Light Committee, the looks you want to achieve will be more possible than with just about any other photographer. The studio has hundreds of combinations for possible backdrops. Then there is the outdoors right in front of the studio, which has countless background options. There are enough lighting options in the studio to create the most complex of scenes for actors, to meet specifications such as for medical residency headshots, and much more. So, the chances are much better that the essence of the looks you want will be realized with The Light Committee.

If you’re an aspiring model in Los Angeles, you are likely going to want to get modeling agency representation. To do this most of them require submitting modeling digitals. Generally, these shots include a headshot, full body shot, some profile shots, and other half or full body shots. What one agency wants is not always the same as all others. Most of them also want these shots against as basic a background as possible, like a white wall and with even lighting. As a result of these complications, you might want to work with a professional photographer. But they can be expensive. Not necessarily with The Light Committee. Modeling digitals pricing starts at $125.
Now, modeling headshots in Los Angeles are not always expensive, because of The Light Committee. With this package, you’ll get straight on close-ups to full body shots that include profile shots and more to cover as many bases as possible so you can submit to as many agencies as possible.
The studio is well-equipped with industry-leading equipment, from many studio lights that include strobes and continuous light options, to the commercial-grade camera and premium lenses. But that is for me to manage. For you, there are a lot of amenities so you will immediately feel comfortable. When you arrive there is a clothes rack to hang your clothes and a tabletop for any other items you have. There is a dedicated hair and makeup room with a vanity mirror and a full body mirror too. In addition, there is an in-studio restroom.
You can also enjoy the natural spring individually-bottled water provided for you. And there are plenty of places to sit and get comfortable. When we begin the session, you will have every opportunity to review as we go in real-time on a large 4K-quality monitor. This way, you can see the high quality as we go and you can also request adjustments if you’d like.
Speaking of adjustments, the capabilities offered by the well-equipped studio are practically limitless. In this way, we can create captivating shots that could be a flattering beauty look to the most cinematic looks you can conjure.
As of this writing in LA, the average low price is $322 and the average high price is $670, for the top 10 or so photographers found on Google in LA. With The Light Committee, the current low price is $150, and the highest session price is $250.
The quick answer is about what to avoid. Avoid busy patterns or intricate materials that my create “digital noise” – like details weaves, sheens, etc. Avoid busy / large logos or jewelry that can steal the focus being on your face. Keep to solid colors as much as possible. While black, white, and gray are common and safe, don’t be afraid to try a pop of color. Actors should bring layers – like a jacket over a top – to build up character type looks.
Yes. But it depends on finding the right photographer. Many people search and search and ultimately get frustrated at finding photographers that cost too much or that are not producing desired results. As a result, you might be tempted to settle for a selfie or worse, an AI headshot. Don’t. You’re on the right website to get great headshots at a great price.
Briefly, a good headshot has four elements and a great headshot has five. So, to get an A grade for a headshot you need a capable photographer, a photographer that has a commercial grade camera and lens, commercial grade lighting or understanding of using natural light, and great post-productions capabilities. The thing that propels a good headshot to being a great headshot is you, So, bring your A-game to get an A+ headshot!
I can’t count the number of times someone booked a session after trying DIY. Can you take a headshot yourself? Like most things, sure, if you know what you’re doing? Can you build your own house? Yes, if you have studied construction and have a general contractor license? Can you do your own annual physical exam? Yes, if you’ve gone to medical school and become a doctor. So, can you take your own professional headshot? Sure, if you understand all camera settings, lens choices, studio and natural lighting technicalities, and post-production processing. Otherwise, just work with a professional photographer.
