    1. Should I retouch my photo before printing?

You may choose to have your photo retouched. Retouching can be used to eliminate dust, lens flare, or a pimple that sprouted the night before your photo shoot. It should not be used to change your actual appearance, such as making you look younger. You don’t want to surprise the casting director by walking in to an audition not looking like your headshot print.

    1. Should I print my resume on the back of my headshot prints?

If you order our Digital press print headshots you can have your resume printed on the back for a small fee of $15. Having your resume on the back is very convenient, but if you are going to be changing your resume often this may not be a good choice for you. You will need to have your headshots reprinted if you decide to change your resume.

If you order our Photographic headshot we are not able to print your resume on the back because the back of photographic paper is resin coated and can not be printed on.
