PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS

and DEMO PRODUCERS WE LIKE:

There are a lot of great photographers out there. We like to recommend the pro’s who shoot actors. They are connected to the agents and casting directors and get constant feedback on what is working for the Toronto film & TV market. A decent headshot session can range from $200 to $700 depending on session length, and the shooter!.

There are many variables to consider. Ask to meet the shooter for a quick chat in advance to see if you want to spend time together. Some actors like a challenging shooter who pushes them, others want a more nurturing quality. Go with your gut reactions. Ask other actors who they liked. Ask us! Very rarely you will find a talented beginner or student or friend who grabs a good shot, but most actors find it’s easiest working with professionals and they are worth the money.

Just because they are pro’s doesn’t mean every shoot will work! You may need to re-do a shoot or try again. Also, it takes time to learn how to work with the camera or a shooter. Want to improve your shoot? Try doing an on-camera class with us first... you'll be much more relaxed in front of the lens. [hint, hint]

[Please note: This list is alphabetical, NOT in any order of our preference.... if they are on here we like them! It's getting to be a long list but drop by our studio and maybe we can help you narrow the search. Also a list like this will almost certainly omit somebody special so let us know if you enjoyed working with someone professional, talented and experienced. Most of these links are not hot, so just paste the URL into your browser. PLEASE NOTE WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE LINK, YOU'RE LEAVING OUR WEBSITE SO BACK-BUTTON TO US WHEN YOU'RE DONE! ]

FOR AUDIO VOICE DEMO REELS:
When you want a great voice demo you need a combination of training [try our Voice-over OVERVIEW class to begin with] and then a good engineer/producer who knows what the market wants in a demo disk. Also you need to evolve and adapt your demo over time as you get work and add to your abilities. You may already know someone with a good studio... a musician friend or a pal in radio... or try these professional supports:
Clare Burt Recording Ltd. 211 Yonge Toronto ON. (416) 363-4421. [MOST OF THE WORKING VOICE PEOPLE HAVE USED CLARE BURT STUDIOS OVER THE YEARS.]
JL Studios, 263 Adelaide Street West, Suite 304 http://www.jlstudios.ca/ Often a good source for demo's and strong production facility.
