Who is Lev Gorn?

Lev is a celebrated actor, headshot photographer, and award-winning filmmaker. He is currently recurring on two television shows – Apple TV’s “For All Mankind” and Starz’ “Raising Kanan”.

Lev’s first-hand knowledge of the business and extensive experience in front and behind the camera sets him apart from the rest of NYC headshot photographers. He has developed a uniquely personal and innovative approach to photographing actors. His “behind the scenes” understanding of what agents, managers, and casting directors want, allows him to create professional actor headshots for you that result in 30% more auditions.

Lev’s acting career covers over 50 films and TV series. He is widely recognized for his role as Arkady Ivanovich on FX’s Emmy-winning ”The Americans” and as the character of Eton on the Emmy-winning HBO series “The Wire”. In film, he has worked with Woody Allen, Susan Sarandon, Robert DeNiro, and many others. He is set to direct his first feature film in the Fall of 2023.

Lev doesn’t put you in awkward poses and tell you to “be yourself”. He directs you during your shoot as if you were on a movie set, listens to your ideas, and makes you feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. He has an unmistakable eye for the right wardrobe styles and colors, locations, lighting, and makeup that create game-changing headshots with that unique edge.

Lev chooses specific locations and creates lighting that captures your specific range as an actor. He lights you as if you were in a scene on the set of a film or television show. Each actor is lit differently according to their specific type and the kind of project in which they will be cast. The results are headshots that tell casting directors exactly who you are and what roles you can play.

He knows how to make you feel relaxed and effortlessly create for you headshots that jump off the page and grab the casting director’s attention.

Most headshot photographers focus on making you look beautiful. But beautiful and castable are not the same thing. Getting your headshots is not a vanity project. The singular purpose of your headshot is to get auditions. If your headshots do not get you weekly auditions, your acting career goes nowhere.

The more auditions you get, the more opportunities you have to book a role – the more opportunities, the more acting work you will book. If you don’t have an extensive resume, getting auditions depends exclusively on your headshots. The right headshot is a powerful tool that creates opportunities for your acting career. The success of your career is equal to the power of your headshot.

Your Headshot gets the Audition. Your Talent gets the Role.
