For URTAs, I have to turn in headshots with resumes on the back. I've never had them done before, and the photographer I'm going to usually does models, not actors.
What size should they be?
8x10?
8.5x11?
And can they have a white border with my name written on, like he does with the models?

PEACE.

Posted: 12/27/05 at 12:40pmMost of the headshots that come in to our theatre have the border, it's nice because it makes the name pop. Usually the name gets lost on the black and white photo if it isn't part of a border.
