  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.

  2. Should I print my resume on the back of my headshot prints?
    Some headshot printing services offer resume printing on the back of your headshots, but we don’t recommend it, as you will want to update your resume with new work and training and that would require new headshot prints. Most actors buy a stack of pre cut 8x10 papers to print their resume, and then tape or staple it to the back of their headshot prints, it is much easier and such a money saver.

    If you must have your resume on the back of your headshot prints you’re going to have to downgrade your image to litho or copy machine printing or similar lower quality methods because high quality photographic printing papers are resin coated on the back and you can’t print on it.
