Model & Talent Search Photographer
We've launched real careers — including Ariana Grande's first talent headshots.
Lloyd's Studio Photography is a model and talent search photographer, and many of the people we discover go on to paid product shoots and campaigns. We shot some of Ariana Grande's very first talent headshots — the ones that helped launch her career. She was a total natural, and a genuinely nice kid.
The high-fashion experience we offer
We have the experience, the lighting techniques, the backgrounds and the props to help you put your best foot forward. We also shoot outside the studio — in the courtyard, in the surrounding downtown, and at the beach a short drive away. For talent, our actor and talent headshots can be delivered in color or classic black and white.
"Excellent service! Very personable. Made my 10-year-old daughter feel so special and like a celebrity at a photo shoot. She got professional photos with comp cards a year ago and still uses them for all of her auditions. Her photos really make her stand out from the rest. Thanks Lloyd's Studio Photography."

Our specialty: modeling portfolios
All kinds of models are constantly in demand throughout South Florida and South Beach — for runway, print, fashion, glamour and commercial campaigns. Modeling portfolio photography is our specialty. It's a hard business to break into; anyone who says otherwise is misleading you. But a strong modeling portfolio is a real start.
Actors, directors and major motion picture studios keep choosing South Florida to film, thanks to our beautiful variety of locations and the quality of local talent. That means there are real acting and extra roles waiting for the right people who are willing to put in the work.
Considering a modeling, acting, talent or singing career?
Confident people of all ages choose modeling, acting, talent and singing as a primary or secondary career — to build a name and earn income. Actors need actor headshots; musicians and bands need promotional headshots. Throughout every shoot we coach you naturally, giving you posing pointers and career advice.
Your first professional shoot should be fun — a low-pressure environment where you learn the ropes. We go a long way to prepare you for real paid shoots, which may not always be as playful, but are much more rewarding financially.
"Liz & Mike: I never thought about male modeling again until we met. I had modeled as a child and again on Wall Street. What a wonderful experience — especially the shoots away from the studio. You and Mike made this project fun, and then you gathered the best pictures to submit to male model agencies. You did it all. Anyone thinking about a modeling career or any other photography should go no further than Lloyd's."
See your name in lights — actor headshots
Actor headshots are a great promotional tool if you're already on your way. Traditionally these have been black-and-white 8×10 glossy prints with your stage name at the bottom; today, color 8×10s are just as popular. Make your name and likeness known to casting directors with strong actor headshots from Lloyd's Studio.
