I just got my new headshots shot. Now I emailed both agents (here/LA) from the same office w/the password to get on the site, how long does it take to get back to me? When I last did it, I came to the office and showed my proof sheets and that took a week or so.

I am confused by this question because I'm not sure if you called the right person an "agent."

It depends. Sometimes they keep things in a file and it could take months (if they have people who look like you already). If they are interested more then likely you will get some kind of response / contact right away.

The people that I emailed, are already my agents. I wanted them to choose which one I should get printed up.
Or advice which one they liked better. Or do I have to keep kind of bugging them? I know my second agent, I had to kind of bug them to find out if they looked at my proof sheet, so that I can get them printed.

Did you narrow it down? Maybe send them you fav 10

I wouldn't ask an agent to go over hundreds of proofs from your shoot. Narrow them down to a few choices, and tactfully ask for their advice. A good agent should want to help you but may resent having to do ALL the work.

Good luck.

There's a total of 20 shots (best) on his site. I emiled my agent the day I got them( 2 weeks ago tomorrow) and last wed and I called my agent up here twice-last mon and yesterday or should I just go w/one that is the most popular. One person liked 2 of them and another like several. Another 1 liked one of them which is the same number that the other 2 chosed. The one that chosed several, thinks I could use all off them depending on the role I'm auditioning for. I have to make my choice then make another appointment to get the one(s) retouched (he wants the person there in person).

My LA agent usually replies back within a few days (by email). I'm thinking about calling my LA agent (if I don' hear from her soon).

Hi skeeterkitty2004,

I photographed a very high profile actress about a year ago that said something that rang true:

An agent does 10% of the work to earn their 10% of the fee.

I thought that was such a cool, non-diva attitude!

I wouldn't wait for them to decide...time is ticking!!

good luck,

Thanks. I'm crossing my fingers about my agent(s).

It took my agent between one and two weeks... and I thought their choices kinda sucked.

It's been 3 weeks for the LA one and 2 for the Seattle one. I don't even get a returned call for the Seattle one (I have to give him/her my password to get onto the site).

um, cant you speak to them? i understand busy, but it doesn't take long to look through a few pictures... call them.

Well, I called my Seattle one and left a message (twice). I haven't called my LA agent yet, but I did email her(twice).

It all depends on your relationship with your agent. Some agents are very good at communicating with their clients and will sit down with them and go over their potential choices. Others will be very vague in their instructions and decisions.

Agents are just human beings also, their choices aren't necessarily the right ones. Headshots are very subjective. Get as many opinions as you can!

My advice to most people is to print 4x6s of your favorites. Mix them up. And show them to people and watch which ones they pause to take a second look at. Those are the ones that are attracting attention and the ones you should probably use.
