How is a dance headshot different from an actor headshot?
Mostly in the frame. The shoulders and the neck are in it, and the top is simple so the line of the body reads. Dancers who act take both in the same session.

What a session covers
However you decide to use it.
- The clean one on a neutral backdrop, which is what every submission asks for.
- Colour if you want it: a backdrop matched to the top, or the wall of light. Same session.
- Shoulders and neck in the frame, so the line reads.
- A company or a class comes in as a day: the clean one for everyone, matched across the group, and a second look for those who want one.
- Chosen together from the screen, like every session.
- Dance in motion is a different shoot: full length, on the floor, mid-phrase.
