Actor Dylan Busse (Trigger Flaws) visited The Starving Artists Project
I can't recall how many times I have lined up acting jobs off my head shots or received phone calls asking merely: "Do you look like your head shots?"
Dylan Busse SAP Journey
Busse says the cost of constantly updating head shots with the passage of time can seem staggering. So, when an accomplished actor friend told me about The Starving Artists Project, offering free head shots to one and all, it seemed too good to be true! Busses went to their website and she was astonished to learn that they provided a makeup artist, hairstylist, fashion stylist and a photographer for headshots based on only on what the artist could donate or for free if it was not possible for the artist to contribute.
Filled with anticipation, Busse sent them her email request for a photoshoot and quickly received a very professional and informative response confirming the day and time for her appointment. Much to her amazement they were also including three different looks. Translation: she has been hired as a judge, a soccer mom, a serial killer and a yoga instructor just to name a few of the diverse roles to come her way.
The day of the shoot she happily drove through LA's congealed traffic to reach the destination and managed to find parking. She can remember being so excited as she snatched her wardrobe from her trunk and headed down the street like a 15-year-old on her first date. She knocked on the door and was welcomed with a sincere warmth that is greatly appreciated when you're gleefully nervous.
After filling out the basic information she headed upstairs to have hair and makeup done. She then met with a photographer that had a gift for putting her subject at ease.
