Good headshots are expensive. That's a fact. And, we've all been there, shelling out our hard-earned money for those all-important headshots, only to be disappointed by the results. That's not the way it should go and it's not the way it has to go.

In this episode, I sit down with renowned Barcelona based photographer, Danny Fernandez, who's known for creating headshots that get actors cast (he's also a favorite of casting director, Luci Lenox). In our interview, we dive into the ins, outs, do's, and don'ts of getting the perfect headshot.

Did you know that much of the magic happens even before you step in front of the camera? Yep. Danny breaks down the crucial pre-shoot preparation steps that often get overlooked. From what to wear to the mindset you need, we cover it all. He's also got some killer tips to make sure you drop your mask and let your photographer see the real you so you get authentic and flattering results.

If you've ever felt like your headshots just aren't doing you justice, or worse yet, they're not getting you booked, this episode is a must-watch! Say goodbye to headshot anxiety and hello to photographs you'll be proud to send out for your next casting call.
