I loved working with Richard. He is such a patient and easygoing guy. On top of that, he is kind and funny too. It was more like photographing an old friend than anything else.

A Good Headshot Library: I’ve often discussed headshot libraries. For actors, they’re incredibly important. They are an asset to you career, and a pathway to landing yourself in the room. While showing various characters is a great start (read more about that here), your headshots need to convey a range of emotions too.
