Cinematic Headshots That Look Like Film Stills

Cinematic Actor Headshots in Los Angeles That Tell a Story

Forget the boring, cookie-cutter actor headshots. At STASI Photography, I create cinematic, edgy portraits that feel like moments pulled straight from a film—capturing depth, emotion, and story in a single frame. These aren’t just headshots. They’re alive. They spark curiosity and demand a second look.

To me, a headshot isn’t a formality—it’s your audition before the audition. In a sea of sameness, you need something that actually stands out. That’s where I come in. With years of experience behind the camera and a deep understanding of what makes a performance visually compelling, I approach each session like a director crafting a scene—focusing not just on how you look, but on how you feel in the frame.

Not Just a Headshot—A Scene From Your Story

Whether you’re brand new to the industry or updating your portfolio, your headshot should speak before you do. My goal is to create imagery that resonates—with casting directors, agents, filmmakers, and most importantly, with you. I use cinematic lighting, intentional composition, and real emotional connection to build images that feel true to who you are and where you’re headed.

I don’t work with templates or generic setups. Every shoot is personal. I spend time getting to know who you are and how you want to be seen, guiding you with subtle coaching and creative direction to bring out something real. I want your headshots to feel grounded, raw, and unforgettable—because your work as an artist deserves to be seen that way.

Book a Session That Sets You Apart

No flat lighting. No forced smiles. Just bold, cinematic portraits designed to make people look twice. Based in Los Angeles, I work with actors across LA, the Valley, and beyond. My sessions are relaxed, collaborative, and built around bringing your full presence to the surface. Let’s create something striking. Something true. Something that feels like your breakout moment.
