Out Takes

Jen HalpernI was born and raised in NYC. I went to Boston University and received a Bachelor's Degree in filmmaking. After graduation, I pursued many different aspects of the entertainment industry. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work as a freelancer wearing many different hats. All these experiences led me to become a Producer for Film and Television, as well as a Casting Director.

I have cast hundreds of on-camera commercials, print campaigns, feature films, television shows, promos, industrials, reality shows, and voiceovers. I have auditioned Actors from novices to professionals, and from babies to senior citizens. I have given seminars, and coached Actors on monologues, scene work, and on-camera commercials.

Working with Actors, has always given me the most joy. So, when a colleague suggested I take my Photography hobby and combine it with something I already love, suddenly, the future seemed very clear!

I have gone through thousands of Headshots and Resumes and have the eye and perspective to know what is important to Agents, Managers, and Casting Directors. I have also seen Actors through my role as Producer, and have seen what intrigues a Director and why certain people are cast. I have taken all this knowledge and combined it with my love of photography.

I understand what a great Headshot is and I understand how the Industry works.

JHP is here to guide you through this process and walk you to the next step of your career.
