Your Headshot
Is Your
First Audition.
Before a casting director hears your name, they see your photo. Make it count. TRG Headshots serves working actors, theater students, and performers across the DFW metroplex from our studio in Red Oak, Texas.
Book Your Session
This photo does not decorate your wall. It works for your career.
An actor headshot is not a portrait. It is a professional tool. It goes to casting directors, agents, theater programs, and audition submissions. It represents you before you are in the room.
A strong headshot does not just show what you look like. It shows what you are capable of playing. It communicates castability, personality, and range in a single image.
At TRG Headshots in Red Oak, Texas, we understand what an actor headshot needs to do — and we shoot with that purpose in mind. Not just a nice photo. A photo that opens doors.
We serve working actors, aspiring performers, high school and college theater students, and parents booking for young performers across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
The headshot is the first audition. If it does not get you in the room, nothing else matters.TRG Headshots · Red Oak, Texas · Serving DFW
Every performer. One standard.
Whether you are submitting to your first audition or updating your professional portfolio, the studio, the light, and the quality are the same.
Working Actors
You know what you need. A headshot that communicates your castability clearly and quickly. We shoot with that standard in mind — not just a flattering portrait.
Theater Students
High school and college performers building their first portfolio. The session is relaxed and coached — designed for students who have never done this before.
Young Performers
Parents booking for child actors and young performers. We create a comfortable, encouraging environment so your child feels confident from the moment they walk in.
They are not looking for perfect. They are looking for castable.
Casting directors move fast. They are looking at dozens — sometimes hundreds — of headshots for a single role. What stops them is not the most polished image. It is the most specific one.
A strong actor headshot communicates one thing clearly: here is who this person is and what they can play. That specificity is what gets you in the room.
Current likeness — your headshot should look like you walk in the door today, not two years ago
Eyes that engage — connection through the lens is what makes a casting director stop scrolling
Clean, undistracting background — the focus stays on your face, not what is behind you
Natural expression — not posed, not stiff — present and relaxed
Appropriate wardrobe — clothing that fits the type of roles you are pursuing
No session fee. Pay only for what you love.
There is no upfront cost to book or attend a session at TRG Headshots. You only pay for the images you choose to keep.
Most actor clients select multiple images — a commercial look, a theatrical look, and a wardrobe change or two. The per-image price drops as you select more. The Lone Star Actor's Package at 8 images is the most popular choice for performers.
Every image includes full professional retouching, delivered in high resolution and web resolution, in both color and black and white.
Show up ready. We handle the rest.
A little preparation before your session makes a significant difference in the final images. Here is what to focus on.
Wardrobe
Bring two to three outfit options. Solid colors in neutral or dark tones photograph best. Avoid busy patterns and logos. Dress for the types of roles you want to be cast in. We will help you choose the right look before we start shooting.
Grooming
Arrive with your hair and makeup done the way you want to look in your photos. We do not offer in-house hair and makeup, but there is a mirror available for touch-ups. Men — decide in advance whether you want facial hair or clean-shaven. Either is fine. Just be intentional about it.
Rest and Hydration
Get a full night of sleep before your session. Drink plenty of water the day before and the morning of. Hydration makes a visible difference in how your skin looks on camera. Skip alcohol the night before — it dehydrates you and it shows.
Should I smile in my headshot?
It depends on the roles you are pursuing.
Commercial work — a warm, genuine smile reads as approachable and friendly. Most commercial submissions benefit from an open, engaging expression.
Theatrical or dramatic work — a neutral, present expression often communicates more range. Serious does not mean unhappy. It means focused and available.
Most actors benefit from having both versions available. We can shoot both looks in a single session so you have options for different submission types.
