Finding the right photographer for you and choosing one!
Choosing a good photographer for your acting shot is fundamental in this business and can depend part of your succes into nailing the right job.
The most important thing is to try to portray yourself as much as possible, airbrushing and editing your appearance might make you look "better" but it's only going to shoot you in the foot when applying for a casting. The casting directors start a first screaming on who they want to see based on what you look like in photo and what you stated in your CV, if then in person you look completely different you will probably straight away loose you chance to get the job.
Here there are few information I collected during my research that help me decide.
