hey, I’m nico
and I’m an actor
a headshot session from one actor to another
I’ve been Acting professionally since receiving my BFA in Acting from Northern Illinois University in 2016. As a local Chicago Actor, I’m in your shoes, doing what I love, even if it means grinding out those late-night after-work auditions. I’ve walked into countless auditions over the years and learned how to highlight my own artistic self in my own headshots, which in turn landed me an audition with my amazing agents at Shirley Hamilton Talent. Additionally, I have also been on the other side as a casting intern at Remy Bumppo Theatre Company. During that time, I was handed endless headshots for review. This opportunity allowed me to study what makes a headshot truly stand out from the stack. I believe that combining all of these experiences have made me a stronger photographic artist who is able to make sure your artistic self can be seen.

the process
the chat
This is a collaboration between the both of us where we will be creating something together. So before your session, I like to jump on a call and get to know more about you. We talk through goals, how you want to market yourself specifically, and the types of characters that you’re drawn to.
the shoot
Let’s have some fun! I work in a very organic style, always encouraging you to follow your impulses. We’ll have a game plan of types/characters that we want to focus on, and I’ll set our focus on specific elements that we want to highlight throughout the session.
the goods
After the shoot, you’ll have access to a preview gallery where you can make your final selections. The gallery never expires, so you can always come back for additional images down the road to add to your website, actors’ access, or social profiles.
