Aside from getting you attention-grabbing headshots, one of the things that set us apart from other photographers is Chris Popio's knowledge of the in's and out's of the Chicago acting market. As a new actor in Chicago (many years ago), he found the lack of career guidance (or even resources to get questions answered) extremely frustrating.

One of our goals in starting this business was to be able to help actors; not just by getting them great headshots but also those who are in the same leaky boat as Chris was when he landed here. So as a part of our service, we offer a free, half-hour career consultation, independent of your shoot, which can be scheduled anytime after your shoot with us.

During this time we can cover anything that you might be wondering about. From ‘WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS CD OF PICTURES NOW?" to ‘HOW DO I GET AN AGENT?’ and ‘HOW DO I PUT TOGETHER A MAILING’ and right down to ‘WHERE’S THE BEST FISH TACO IN TOWN?’ He'll do his best to help you figure out how to get you from where you are to where you want to be, which of the myriad paths in this business is the best for you, and help you come up with a road map to get you on your way.

This is about more to us than just getting you awesome headshots, we want to strengthen the acting community in Chicago.

And that's you. And us.
