401 Photography, Astoria

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
401 has been working in show business for 20 years in casting, on stage and directing and the unique and honest style will make casting directors take note.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
So many actors have Head Shots that don't match them as people and who are going into auditions with dated and poor representations of themselves in their hand. 401 offers an affordable way to take a stylish yet honest picture of them to leave the casting director with the right impression.

What do you love most about your job?
I see the head shot as art. It's important for the casting director to see it as more than just a picture but a reminder of the personality and how much they would like to work with them. Offering this at a lower price is something I want to do.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
That sessions with me aren't just posing. I like to make them fun and enjoyable. So often the shot thats the most honest is the one that's come from a place of relaxation and fun. And I don't mess about getting photos to you. You'll get them within a day.
