Two Days, 13 Hours, 22 Actor’s Headshots.

To launch the opening of the new West Los Angeles Next Exit Photography Studio, I offered a promotion to a few of my actor friends (and their actor friends) that could not be passed up. Word spread so quickly, that I had every space filled within 6 hours, as well as a 60-person waiting list! Don’t worry, I promise that I will be having several specials over the next few months.
I love shooting actors. A few of my blog readers know that I worked in the theater for many years. Some of my fondest memories are from directing children’s theater in my early twenties at the Santa Monica Playhouse, where I also preformed in nearly 20 musicals from the age of 8 until I left for college. Of course, I ultimately chose a different path”Â¦
Anyways, if you are interested in a headshot, please email me at cat@nextexitphotography.com for rates and to schedule an appointment. If you are a manager or an agent, let’s talk! My studio is conveniently located by the 10 & 405 freeways.
