02 Jul Do You Need To Freshen Your Head Shot Or Comp Card?
As time goes by, our looks change. Even if you want to fight this inevitability, it is still an inevitability all the same, and this can mean the need to freshen up your head shots or comp cards. When looking to find work in the acting or modeling industry, you don’t want to continue to hand out a head shot or comp card that is 5 to 10 years old, and risk having talent management or casting directors look at a photo that no longer accurately represents you or just seems “dated”.
You want your head shot or comp card to accurately represent you, and to leave a lasting impression of you on the minds of those who receive them. With an outdated piece, you’ll find that the impression doesn’t quite get to where you want it to be, or it’s not a positive one at all, as you’re not longer representing you in the current sense. The styles and looks represented on head shots and comp cards are also designed to be modern and suitable to the time they were taken, so a head shot or comp card that is a handful of years old will show these outdated and no-longer desirable trends.
It is recommended that head shots and comp cards go through a refreshing around every 3 to 5 years, as this will allow you to keep them modern, accurate, and up to date with your current look. By opting for an experienced and professional printing service, you’ll find that you can really get the maximum value benefit for the entire life of your current set. You’ll be able to leave lasting, positive, and modern impressions as you feel confident with your updated and high quality pieces.
Rather than handing out outdated material, always be sure to keep up with the headshots and comp cards you use. By keeping things fresh, you’re keeping things impressive, and you’ll be able to leave the best impression possible on the attentions you’re trying to attract!
