Film production glossaryHeadshot

A headshot is a professional portrait of a performer, framed on the face and shoulders, used to apply for roles.

Headshot in practice

Casting directors look at hundreds of headshots for a single role, so the photo must look like the person does today. It is sent with a resume and often a short showreel.

Where it lives in CrewDesk

Each cast profile in CrewDesk holds the performer's photos, so a producer choosing between three people sees their headshots side by side with their sizes and availability notes.
