CASTING READY PORTFOLIOS FOR ACTORS & MODELS IN NEPAL
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS · VIDEO · TALENT PROFILES · CASTING DECKS
Built around you. Led by Gautam Dhimal. Created with the right creative team for the job.
YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE THE LOOK.
NOW MAKE SURE PEOPLE CAN SEE IT.
Your Instagram may show your personality. Your phone may have hundreds of photographs. Your friends may tell you that you should be in films, fashion or advertising.
But when a real casting opportunity comes along, you need more than a good photograph.
You need a professional profile that shows who you are, what you can do and what you could become on camera.
That is what we build.
THIS IS YOUR CASTING FIRST IMPRESSION.
MAKE IT COUNT.
A casting team may see your photographs before they ever meet you. Your images, video and profile information need to give them something useful to work with.
Clear. Professional. Natural. Versatile. You.
MORE THAN A HEADSHOT.
BUILD A PROFILE WITH RANGE.
A strong casting portfolio can show much more than one face.
HEADSHOTS
Clean, professional portraits that show you clearly.
CASTING PHOTOGRAPHS
Images designed to help a casting team understand your appearance and presence.
FULL LENGTH & PROFILE
See the complete person, not just the face.
SHORT VIDEO
Introduction, movement, performance or character based video depending on what you need.
MULTIPLE LOOKS
Different styling, expressions and character directions can reveal different possibilities.
CASTING DECK
Your photographs, information, experience, skills and video brought together into a professional presentation.
ONE FACE CAN HOLD MANY POSSIBILITIES.
SHOW YOUR RANGE.
The actor who can play only one character is easier to overlook.
The model who can show only one expression is harder to place.
The performer who can transform gives a casting team more to consider.
Different looks can explore different sides of you.
Natural. Commercial. Editorial. Character. Contemporary. Traditional.
Not because you need to pretend to be someone else.
Because casting needs to see what else you can do.
THREE WAYS TO BUILD YOUR PROFILE
START WHERE YOU ARE. BUILD FROM THERE.
ESSENTIAL
YOUR PROFESSIONAL STARTING POINT.
A very accessible individual or small group session for actors, models and fresh faces taking their first serious step.
Includes:
Strong headshots. Basic casting photographs. Essential profile information. Practical presentation guidance.
Simple. Professional. A proper beginning.
CASTING READY
BUILD THE COMPLETE PROFILE.
For talent who want more than basic photographs and are serious about being prepared for casting opportunities.
Includes:
Multiple looks. Full length and profile photographs. Short introduction or performance videos. Professional casting information. A proper casting deck.
More material. More range. More ways to be considered.
CHARACTER
SHOW WHAT YOU CAN BECOME.
A more ambitious creative portfolio built around character, styling, location and visual storytelling.
Includes:
Multiple looks. Styling. Locations. Character work. Photography. Video. Creative direction.
For talent ready to push beyond the standard portfolio.
BUILD IT YOUR WAY.
ONE PERSON. A SMALL GROUP. ONE CREATIVE DAY.
Not everyone needs the same portfolio. Some people need a focused individual session.
Some can benefit from working within a small group while sharing elements of the production.
Some need a larger creative session built around several characters and looks.
We build the experience around the person and the objective.
STUDIO OR ON LOCATION.
THE RIGHT PLACE CAN CHANGE THE STORY.
Some portfolios need a clean studio. Some need movement. Some need a real environment. Some need character. Some simply need you, properly photographed.
The location is chosen for what your portfolio needs to communicate.
THE RIGHT PEOPLE BEHIND THE CAMERA.
YOUR PORTFOLIO IS BUILT AS A PRODUCTION.
Depending on the project, Location Nepal can bring together the right combination of photographers, videographers, directors, stylists, makeup and hair professionals, production designers, editors and other creative specialists.
The team is not fixed.
It is built around you.
GAUTAM DHIMAL
CASTING DIRECTOR. PRODUCER. PHOTOGRAPHER. FILMMAKER.
Gautam Dhimal leads the experience.
His work across international film, television, advertising, photography and production gives him a perspective that goes beyond creating a beautiful photograph.
He understands the production side. He understands the casting side. He understands the camera. And he understands what happens when talent moves from a portfolio into an actual production.
The goal is not simply to photograph you well.
The goal is to help present you properly.
FROM THE CAMERA TO THE CASTING ROOM.
YOUR PROFILE SHOULD ANSWER THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.
A professional casting profile can include:
Name, Age, Location, Measurements, Languages, Training, Experience, Skills, Sports and physical abilities, Performance abilities, Availability, Photographs, Video, Casting deck.
The right information can make it easier for a production to understand where you might fit.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE FAMOUS.
YOU NEED TO BE READY.
Some opportunities are looking for established names. Others are looking for new faces. A particular role may need a trained actor. A campaign may need a fresh model. A production may need someone with a very specific skill, look, language or background.
You do not have to look like everyone else.
You have to be ready to show what makes you useful.
YOUR INSTAGRAM CAN HELP.
BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING.
Keep your Instagram. Show your personality. Share your work. Build your audience.
But when someone asks:
“Can I see your casting profile?”
you should have something professional to send.
THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE.
IT IS A BETTER STARTING POINT.
No portfolio can guarantee an audition. No photograph can guarantee a casting. No video can guarantee a role.
What a professional portfolio can do is present you more clearly, show more of your range and make you better prepared when the right opportunity comes along.
Your chances can improve. The decision will always belong to the production.
FROM PORTFOLIO TO OPPORTUNITY.
BE READY WHEN THE BRIEF ARRIVES.
The point of building this portfolio is not simply to have beautiful photographs sitting on your phone.
It is to have something ready when someone asks:
“Who are you?”
“What can you do?”
“Can we see you on camera?”
“Can you send us your profile?”
Be ready to answer.
