starting headshots

How do headshots work?
You get your picture taken from a photographer and then do you use the 100 prints you bought and then take pictures again??

or can you print pictures yourself from the cd images you get?

and should they be in color or b&w?

well i only bought one of each image. its silly to buy loads of copies when you can get them printed from the cd or even if not, can get a copy scanned from your orginal

B&W is usually best looking and industry standard. but colour sometimes looks better. depends what type of roles you are going for i guess.

Everything's going color these days. You take your choice few and get those printed.

Most photographers give you access to your pictures via website or CD and you just print the ones you need.
