Actor headshots · Montreal
The photo that gets you called back after the audition.
Honest headshots a casting director reads in one second. Guided sessions in a private studio on the Plateau, no pressure, even if it's your first time in front of a camera.
Three starting points, one standard.
Whether you just finished theatre school or your agent wants updated photos, the session adapts to where you are.
Emerging
You're starting out
Fresh out of school, first agent, first casting profile. We build your two essential shots: bring a few tops and we choose together on the day.
Working actor
You're already working
New haircut, new range, an agent asking for fresh shots. Several looks in one session, from commercial to dramatic, delivered in your agency's formats.
Professional
You need an image
Speaker, artist, entrepreneur. The same care as an actor headshot for LinkedIn, a website or a poster, without the stiff corporate look.
You pick your shots like on a contact sheet.
I direct you through the whole session. Then you get a private gallery and circle your favourites. I retouch with restraint: they should recognise you when you walk into the audition room.

Bright and open, the smile that sells a coffee or a bank. Colour, light or warm background, plain top.

More contrast, a steady gaze, for TV and film. Dark background, often black and white.

I'm Guillaume Gorini, a Montreal photographer since 2009.
Before headshots, I photographed weddings, sports, dance and high-end interiors. Fifteen years learning to read light and, above all, to put people at ease in front of the camera.
In portraits I explore texture and light, but the person is what matters. A good headshot is you on a good day, not a smoothed-over version of you. That's what a casting director wants to see, and what I look for in every session.
GuillaumeBefore you come.
What should I wear?
Plain tops in strong or neutral colours, no logos or big patterns. Bring 2 or 3 options per planned look. Avoid pure white, and all black on a black background. The wardrobe guide arrives after you book.
I've never posed. Is that a problem?
No, that's most people who come to the studio. I direct you the whole time: posture, eyes, intention. We start slowly and look at the images together on screen.
Will agencies and Casting Workbook accept my photos?
Yes. I deliver every photo in 8 × 10 and 4:5, high resolution, with natural retouching that meets agency and industry standards: no smoothed skin, no altered features.
Can I use my photos everywhere?
Yes, for your career: agencies, casting platforms, social media, website, résumé. Just credit the photographer when you can.
What if I need to cancel?
No problem: write to me as soon as you can and we'll find a new date together.
