The headshot
that gets you
in the room.
Cinematic theatrical, commercial, and character headshots for working actors in Austin. Built around what actors actually need to submit — clean files, real range, agency-ready.
Headshots that book.
A handful of recent work. Theatrical and commercial sessions for working actors across the Austin film, TV, and commercial markets.
Two distinct looks.
Both built to book.
Theatrical and commercial headshots are two different jobs. The lighting, the expression, and the read are all built for different markets. Sessions can cover both, or one at a time — whatever your roster needs.
Cinematic Headshots
For film, TV, and stage casting. Cinematic lighting, controlled mood, the version of you a casting director sees for dramatic and character work.
Cinematic Sessions
Commercial Headshots
For commercial print, broadcast spots, and brand campaigns. Warmer light, brighter look, the smile and the eyes that book national and regional commercial work.
Commercial Sessions
A photographer
who gets actors.
Sessions built around what actors actually need to submit - guided by a working filmmaker and actor.
I'm Ross Tokosch — Austin-based photographer specializing in actor headshots. I'm a fellow actor and filmmaker who has been on both sides of the casting process. Sessions are built around what casting directors and agents actually want to see: clean theatrical files, commercial range, character variations, captured on cinematic glass with the kind of light that holds up on a casting grid. All from an award-nominated filmmaker.
No assembly line, no generic studio look. Real direction, real coaching, and files that read true to your type.
Four steps.
One session.
Built so you walk in prepared and walk out with files you'd submit tomorrow.

Direct pricing.
No hidden math.

You are genuinely goated! I thought I was not looking my best today, but these photos are clean!
Ready when
you are.
Sessions book a few weeks out. If you have an audition cycle coming up or need new files for agent submissions, let's get on the schedule.
