TORONTO ACTOR HEADSHOTS
by Peter Nguyen
Hi, I’m Peter! I’ve been photographing actor headshots for over a decade, and I genuinely love helping actors achieve their goals in any way I can. Whether this is your very first headshot session or you’re a seasoned pro ready for an update, with my years of experience I’ll help direct to bring out your best. We’ll work together to capture the essence of your unique personality, your energy, and your casting potential.
I shoot a variety of styles and lighting tailored to your individual needs and goals as an actor. I take the time to understand your unique qualities, casting types, and career aspirations. I use both natural lighting and flattering studio lighting to best highlight your features and range as an actor.
My style is simple and uncluttered—no busy backgrounds or distracting lighting. You’re the star of your headshots, so the focus stays right where it belongs: on you.
say goodbye to stale outdated looks you've seen a hundred times,
and hello to a modern shot that feels like you in 2026
What makes my sessions a little different is that I’m also a working actor here in Toronto. That shared experience helps me build instant rapport, keep things comfortable, and create an easy, supportive environment where your best self can shine. I’m always happy to chat about the industry and offer insight or advice, especially for newer actors finding their footing.
I hope to see you all in front of my camera, together in the casting room, or better yet, on set!

Schedule your shoot today by contacting me at info@petern.ca, 289-242-3838 (text messages preferred), or DM @peternphoto for availability and any questions you may have.
We shoot directly to an iPad so you can make real-time adjustments as we shoot. Sometimes it’s the hair, the expression, the angles or the lighting that we can tweak together. And you can scroll back and review images at any time.
And this is Jasper, my super friendly and helpful and sometimes not so helpful photo assistant. If you have allergies or any issues with dogs please let me know and he will work a shift elsewhere that day. It’s no problem at all.
He eagerly awaits your visit.
