A common question many aspiring actors and models have is whether they need to invest money in professional photography right away.

The answer to that question is not cut and dry and you will find many different opinions on what you need to get started. Some male model recommend professional photos from the start while others say a nice print of yourself from a digital camera is good enough to get started.

The question you should ask yourself is not whether you need professional headshots or not, but rather, how good of a first impression do you want to make? When you send in your resume and headshot, that is the first impression a casting modeling agent has of you. Based on that, he or she will decide whether to call you in for an audition.

There are people who have gotten work without having amateur galleries of professional quality headshots. It is not impossible, but it can be more difficult to land jobs without good headshots. In acting and modeling the competition is fierce. For every one actor or model that gets booked for a job there are hundreds of others who got rejected. In a competitive market you want to give yourself any advantage you can over your competition.

Leaving behind an amateur snapshot sends the message that you may not be serious about your career. On the other hand, having high quality headshots shows that you are committed and professional. Many casting directors do not even bother auditioning actors who did not send in quality headshots. Their fashion online personal assistants are instructed to toss out anything not meeting their criteria and their resume sees the bottom of the trash can instead of a casting director’s desk.

Models may be able to get away with snapshots when seeking an representation or an agent. Many modeling jobs agents recommend not spending money for photography or a portfolio too early and most agents will accept new models based on her amateur snapshots. However, don’t confuse what you need to find representation and what you need to find work.

Many models try to find work on their own and send in their resumes and portfolios to auditions and casting calls. To anyone looking to hire professional models for shows, events and shoots, a snapshot screams “I’m an amateur and will trip and fall on your runway”. Remember, they are casting “professional” models and will avoid anyone who strikes them as “amateur”.

No matter what new model career an individual chooses, there is always some type of investment that needs to be made, whether its instructional books, tools of the trade or business suits, every career has it’s own price. Anyone serious about their career invests in the tools to make it happen, correctly.

Models and actors normally need comp cards and headshots to help them get work. Picking a good modeling jobs of photographer takes some research and a bit of patience. The easiest way to fall victim to one of those “scams” we keep reading about is by rushing into the deal and not doing your homework.

A few things to watch out for:
Anyone telling you that you must buy expensive prints in order to get a certain job. There are many scams that tell aspiring models that certain high paying modeling jobs are guaranteed for them if they buy certain photo packages.
