Our goal is to support actors and business professionals thrive in their careers. Fashion and entertainment veterans, Chris Zupo and Karlie Loland-Ringer, have worked together for over a decade. Chris Zupo is a commercial, beauty and fashion photographer, who has worked with a variety of high-end brands from Bealls, Altar'd State, Jaclyn Hill to Under Armour Athletics. Karlie Loland-Ringer is a casting director, producer, and entrepreneur. She has collaborated with top-tier media companies such as Amazon Prime, Netflix and Lionsgate, to name a few.
Using their combined industry knowledge the dynamic duo have come together to bring you their newest venture— The Headshot Lab.
The Headshot Lab offers high quality studio headshots at an affordable rate. Whether you’re a seasoned actor needing fresh photos, just getting into the industry or looking for a new LinkedIn profile photo— The Headshot Lab will make sure the focus is on you.
”As a casting director, many times I know what clients prefer to see. I see a lot of submissions come through without professional headshots which makes it harder to push for talent. Casting directors and agents need you to be on top of your materials. The Headshot lab was created in an effort to bridge that gap as our market is ever growing.”
-Karlie Loland-Ringer, founder of KLR Creative Group
With Zupo’s range of tone and Loland-Ringer’s eye for detail you’re sure to stand out. Our Headshot Lab sessions fill quickly, so we encourage you to plan ahead.

HEADSHOT LAB TIPS: We want you to have a smooth and productive experience shooting with us. To ease the process please prepare accordingly.
HAIR & MAKE-UP: Arrive at the shoot ready with hair and make-up. For hair, we want simple everyday looks. Refrain from using heavy products. Loose curls or straight hair for women, no ponytails or updo styles. For those wearing make-up we recommend a soft and lush look. Nude nail polish is preferred or natural earth tones. For those with facial hair, make sure to have it freshly groomed for the shoot. We advise those with oily skin or dark circles under your eyes to use face powder or foundation. Again, we also have a hair and make-up artist available upon request for an additional fee (must book in advance).
WARDROBE: Show-up in your preferred outfit, we recommend bringing two additional shirt options along. Make sure clothes are ironed and wrinkle-free. We recommend solid colors for your choice of shirt. No red, no black, no white, no patterns, no logos, no screen art, no textured fabrics. Polos are great for men! V-necks and scoop necks are great gender neutral options. Go with colors that make your skin tone and eye color pop! If there's a specific color you often receive compliments in, it's a safe bet that's a good look for you. If applicable, please wear an appropriate bra. We won't capture anything below the waist, so wearing jeans and comfortable shoes is a safe choice. For beauty and business headshots our team will reach out to you directly on proper wardrobe. No necklaces, facial jewelry or earrings. We want to keep the focus on YOU!
