What's in a composite?
headshot

   A composite or digital portfolio generally consists of a headshot (above) along with three or four different looks. The idea behind showing various looks is to emphasize the versatility of the model or actor. Here, for example, we have Ryan looking casual and friendly in the first shot, appearing more sophisticated in the action plane shot, showing his physical assets on the lake photo, and modeling formal fashionwear in the last.
   Since you never know what type of "look" a casting director (or agency AD) is seeking, presenting a variety increases the chances of hitting the mark as well as displaying the breadth of an actor's reach. Watch for upcoming video featuring Ryan Watson.
