I've recently been asked to do some headshots for a friend that they can use for their acting portfolio.
I'm not sure if there is some kind of formal headshot style that is required or what.
Is there anything I need to be aware of?
Any help/examples would be great.

these are a few examples of my shooting style to give you guys an idea of how I shoot, and to help me build off this.
