In reply to Steve Bourne. Hi Steve! If you look much different now than you did when your professional headshots were done, I recommend getting more up-to-date photos taken. That way what you're putting out into the world is what people will get when they see you on a call or meet you in person. For instance, a great headshot from your 20s wouldn't work if you're in your 40s now—you want people to see the person you are today. :) A good DIY headshot taken by a friend (or yourself, if you have a tripod/remote setup available) will do the trick in the interim. I hope that helps!

I’ve got a few collections of professionally done headshots from the past and my many acting experiences. The issue is that they are old now and not too recent. By the time I start my website portfolio I may want to get a more up to date recent shot, but does this matter much? Would a professional headshot from years ago still shine?

Hi Carlos,

Agreed, except for one point: I’d say that a good picture, your contact info, a great portfolio, and a direct invitation to get in touch make for a compelling CTA. 🙂

Thanks for commenting!

I do agree, we need a headshot. A site without a picture is abstract, cold, it seems artificial.
A picture gets people engaged. They know that there is “a living being” behind.
A good picture and your contact info is the perfect CTA.

Thanks,

Alberto
