Darcey Stone Photography creates natural, expressive actor and model headshots in NYC and Connecticut for performers, models, kids, teens, and adults who need images for casting, auditions, agency submissions, modeling portfolios, comp cards, and personal branding.
A strong headshot should feel current, confident, and true to the person in front of the camera. Darcey guides each client through expression, posture, movement, and subtle direction so the final images feel polished without looking forced.

Actor headshots need to communicate personality, casting type, emotional range, and authenticity. Darcey works with actors, performers, children, teens, and adults to create headshots that feel natural, current, and suitable for casting platforms, auditions, agents, managers, theater, film, TV, and commercial work.
Whether you need a theatrical headshot, commercial look, natural lifestyle image, or updated performer portrait, the session is designed to capture images that feel like you and support the roles you want to be considered for.
Model headshots and portfolio images should be clean, confident, and agency-ready. Darcey creates model headshots for new and experienced models who need images for agency submissions, comp cards, online portfolios, casting calls, and personal branding.
Sessions can include close-up headshots, three-quarter portraits, full-body images, lifestyle looks, and simple natural images that show your features clearly.
For children and teen actors or models, the goal is to capture natural personality without making the images feel overly posed. Darcey creates a relaxed environment that helps young performers feel comfortable, expressive, and confident in front of the camera.
These sessions are ideal for young performers who need updated images for casting, auditions, agencies, theater, modeling, or commercial opportunities.
Actor headshots, model headshots, kids actor headshots, teen performer headshots, agency submissions, casting profiles, auditions, comp cards, modeling portfolios, personal branding, theater, film, TV, commercial casting, and social media portraits.
You'll receive guided posing and expression coaching, natural lighting, studio or on-location session options, and headshots suitable for casting, agencies, portfolios, and professional profiles. Sessions can include commercial, theatrical, lifestyle, and clean model looks depending on your goals.
Final images can include natural retouching that keeps the image polished while still looking authentic.
For actor headshots, choose clothing that supports the types of roles you want to be considered for. Simple, well-fitting tops in solid colors usually photograph best. Avoid large logos, busy patterns, and anything that distracts from your face.
For model headshots or digitals, keep clothing clean and simple. Agencies usually prefer natural styling, minimal makeup, fitted clothing, and images that clearly show your face, body shape, and proportions.
For kids and teens, choose outfits that feel age-appropriate, comfortable, and natural.
Actor and model headshot sessions can be photographed in Darcey's Brooklyn studio, Redding studio, or on location in NYC, Connecticut, and surrounding areas. Studio sessions provide clean lighting and controlled backgrounds, while outdoor and lifestyle sessions can create a more natural, cinematic feel.
