I can’t stress this enough!
There are industry specs that need to be met.
There are THOUSANDS of actors that want the same job as you.
The competition is real.
The amount of people I shoot because they originally chose a lifestyle photographer instead of a headshot photographer. Or a wedding photographer, or family photographer, or a friend, or a ‘good price’ rather than pay a professional…is A LOT.
It’s great to practice, but if you’re paying for a shoot, don’t waste your hard earned dollars by hiring someone who doesn’t specialize in what it is an agent or casting director needs.
Go to someone your agent recommends. Or if you don’t have an agent, ask your acting coach. If you don’t have an acting coach, google headshot photographers in your area and REALLY look at their portfolio. Look for something in their work that makes people pop.
And don’t be shy to ask for a quick consult. Phone, FaceTime, even a studio pop-in. It’s all normal and ok to request!
Most importantly, you need chemistry. If they don’t make you feel great and comfortable during your consult, they probably won’t be able to make you feel great at your shoot. And in turn, you may not get great photos.
And you deserve GREAT photos 💫 Share this with anyone looking to book a shoot soon and help them out :)

👋 LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF & WHAT I’M DOING.
I’m Farrah Aviva, a portrait photographer and actor that has lived and regularly works in Toronto, Los Angeles and Vancouver.In my 15-year career I’ve learnt so much that I’m going to share with you! 📸🎬
Tips for the beginner and veteran actor who wants to know the ins and outs of getting set up to make it in this business.
I carry a valuable perspective from both sides of the camera with a unique understanding of what agents, casting, producers, publicists, directors and networks are looking for.👍
I have also worked with hundreds of established, well-known actors and have seen first-hand what it takes to really make it in this business!🤗
I’m also married to a writer/director/producer and have seen so much that goes on in the production and casting process.
If you have any industry questions yourself, comment below ⬇️ and I’ll make sure to do posts that specifically answer them💋
And feel free to share this page with your friends!❤️

Don’t miss @janetmcmordie’s one woman show this week in Toronto!✨
I had the honor of attending opening night and was completely blown away by Janet’s immense talent. All proceeds from this production will go to support FRONTLINE FAMILIES CANADA - a non profit that supports the families of fallen first responders 🤍
And for those who don’t know - Janet is a doctor. But during the pandemic @secondcitytcto offered classes to frontline workers. Janet fell in love with the craft and has been living a double life as a doctor and working actress. She’s one of the most supportive artists, constantly attending every film/tv event Toronto has to offer, and now putting on her own show to help give back.

Show runs until May 10th @factorytheatre

This little star💫 got to fly into Vancouver to film a big guest star role on @trackercbs and somehow found the time & energy to sneak into my studio to update his shots. @kolep.arks ✨👏✨(and behind every kid getting to follow their dreams is a superstar parent - in this case that was Holly!)

Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed?
