th the study of human behavior. Marc moved to Los Angeles after graduating NYU, to pursue acting and had a very successful commercial and print career working for brands including Coca Cola and Tommy Hilfiger. After working with the best in the business, the behind the scenes is what genuinely piqued his interest. Viewing the business from the other side of the lens was his moment of purpose. Marc has shot an array of television and film actors, and placed his work in various publications both domestically and internationally. The full circle of his love for Hollywood classics as a kid, to creating visual images with the respected Hollywood actors has been a rewarding journey of purpose.

Commercial friendly ➡️ Theatrical depth. ✨ A great headshot doesn’t just show what you look like, it tells a story about who you can inhabit on screen.

Loved collaborating with the incredibly talented Sophia Mirelle to pull out these distinct casting archetypes. From bright, high-energy commercial marketability to soft, nuanced dramatic range, a dynamic portfolio is what catches a casting director’s eye.

I don’t believe in "one size fits all" headshot sessions because no two actors are the same. From leading man vibes to gritty indie intensity, we build the look around your specific goals and essence instead of a template. 🎬✨

In my Studio City sessions, I focus on directing the actor, not just photographing them. We find the beat between the breaths that makes a frame stand out.

Ready to stop looking like everyone else?

A great headshot isn’t about the perfect pose; it’s about that split second where you stop “performing” and just exist. Whether we’re leaning into a theatrical mood or something more commercial, the goal is to capture a version of you that feels like the best day on set.

I’ve always believed that my job behind the lens is as much about directing as it is about lighting. I don’t expect you to walk in with all the answers. I spend our time together guiding you through the session, helping you find those subtle shifts in thought and energy that translate to the screen.

By the time we’ve found the rhythm, the camera disappears, and we’re just two creatives working on a character.

Stop guessing what casting directors want. 🎭

In a market as competitive as Los Angeles, your headshot needs to do more than look like you; it needs to capture your essence.

By capturing a high variety of looks in a single session, we’ve equipped this actor with a visual ‘toolbox’, making it easier to select the exact headshot that mirrors the specific character requirements in a casting breakdown.

🔥 Theatrical/Character: Grit, texture, and dramatic depth for film/procedural drama.

☀️ Commercial/Everyman: Approachable, warm, and high-connection for national campaigns.

💼 Creative Professional: The versatile “hybrid” shot for high-end industry profiles.

Your portfolio is your business card. If it isn’t telling a specific story, you’re leaving bookings on the table.

Which look are you currently missing from your deck? Let’s bridge the gap. 👇

A great headshot isn’t only about looking your best, it’s about looking like you’re ready to work and know what you are doing. 📸

In a split second, a casting director needs to see “you”. My goal during a session at my (Studio City) Los Angeles studio is to provide you with a range of options that cover different energies without trying to predict a specific role.

The technical goal is simple: Clean lighting, accurate skin tones, and a clear sense of your presence. If your current actor headshots feel dated or don’t match how you walk into a room, it’s time to update.

Don’t just take a photo. Build a brand that makes a casting director’s job easy.

Your headshot is the first thing a casting director sees before they ever click "play" on your self-tape. 🎥✨

In a digital-first industry, your photo has to do some heavy lifting. It needs to tell a story and stop the scroll in a crowded breakdown. Swipe to see the range, from an approachable, high-energy commercial look to a grounded, theatrical presence.

If your current headshots aren't getting your tapes watched, it’s time for an upgrade. Give me a call to discuss your goals.
