“AMAZING photographer! I have had photos and head-shots taken by many photographers and Matt is definitely one of the best. Photoshoots with him are always a fun and effortless experience. He captured so many great photos that it is always difficult for me to narrow them down.”

Lifestyle Photos for Denver Actors Who Want More Than a Headshot

Today’s Denver actors need more than a single headshot. Casting teams and agents want to see natural lifestyle images that show range, personality, and versatility. I offer optional looks and scenes that help you build a modern, cinematic portfolio — the kind that stands out in Denver’s growing film and commercial market.

 FAQs

  • Most Denver actors book 1–2 looks to cover commercial and theatrical ranges. If you need lifestyle or character-driven shots, we can easily add an additional look during your session.

  • Stick to solid colors, clean necklines, and clothes that match the roles you’re most castable for. Avoid busy patterns and anything that distracts from your face. Bring 3–5 options and we’ll choose together.

  • Casting platforms (Actors Access, Backstage, Casting Frontier) prefer vertical headshots, but we can shoot both. You’ll get a mix of orientations so you’re covered on every platform.

  • Actors typically refresh their headshots every 1–2 years, or anytime your look significantly changes — new hair color, cut, glasses, facial hair, or major shifts in your casting type.

  • Yes — I guide you through posing, expression, and emotional beats so you look natural and believable on camera. No stiff posing, no forced smiles — just grounded, cinematic expressions that represent your castability.

  • Sessions usually run 30–90 minutes, depending on the number of looks and whether we add lifestyle portraits. I work quickly, but never rush — the goal is to get a range of great shots that feel authentic.

  • I shoot in Downtown Denver, RiNo, Union Station, and nearby natural-light locations that give your headshots a fresh, cinematic look. Indoor options are available on request.

  • Absolutely. We can tailor wardrobe, lighting, and expression to capture commercial-friendly smiles and stronger, dramatic theatrical shots all in one session.

  • Yes — each selected image is professionally retouched to keep skin natural while removing distractions. No over-smoothing or artificial edits.

  • You’ll get a full online gallery with the best images from your session, and you purchase only the final retouched shots you want.on

  • Your full gallery is delivered within 24-48 hours, and retouched images are completed within 3–5 days after you choose your finals.

  • Many Denver actors now add one lifestyle look to help with commercial casting. If you want a full mini-portfolio (full body, movement, character shots), we can add that to the end of your session.

  • Actor headshots focus on range, emotion, and castability, while corporate headshots emphasize confidence and professionalism. Actor sessions are more expressive, intentional, and cinematic.
