Carlo Corbellini

Carlo Corbellini is quite a remarkable young man. Originally from Rome and a recent Northwestern graduate with bachelor degrees in industrial engineering and economics, Carlo has also decided to expand upon a third talent: acting.

While talent is an essential element to the success of any actor, it's Carlo's focus that will earn him success. Focusing almost exclusively on film work, Carlo has already identified his major niche as the "threat" in a story. He feels that his blue eyes are one of his most distinguishing features and wants any headshot to draw attention to them.

By strategically placing the shadow in this shot and limiting the color palette to blue, brown, and black, we were able to draw attention to Carlo's eyes and create an aura of danger. This is an excellent example of a headshot using all of the elements of composition to communicate into which archetype the actor fits. Of course, because this shot is so specific Carlo also needs a shadow-free commercial shot. This shot (seen on the Archetype website) really captures Carlo's sweet nature. In it Carlo is "the best friend." As any character actor knows, the wider range that he can display to an agent, the more work he will receive.

In the next few months Carlo plans to move to Los Angeles. With these pictures, which combine popular elements of current trends from the L.A., New York, and Chicago markets, he can set up shop anywhere in the country -- or the world -- with a fresh look and garner attention immediately. We're proud to have Carlo be one of the Archetype signature faces.
