Case Study : Read by Kenzo Jett
Phillip P. Phillips is a Los Angeles actor who is represented both Theatrically and Commercially in Los Angeles. His activity level is moderate, he books a decent amount, and has a relatively good relationship with his agents. No complaints.
But, of course, Phillip wants to be able to quit his day job as a hotel reception desk worker, and he wants to level up.
Recently, his activity level has decreased - and he is concerned.
In conversations with his reps, it has been suggested Phillip needs to get new pictures. Phillip is willing to do so, but he shot new photos 8 months ago, paying $1600 – a session from which his agents chose the FOUR headshots they currently use. That session was the result of a nearly identical conversation.
What can Phillip do? Find an even more expensive photographer? Refuse to invest more dollars in pictures? Get a facelift? Accept that management position at the hotel? Do headshots really matter?
Let’s get into it!
