What's the professional term for a body shot?

As in please send me your headshot and resume.

I need an actress with an athletic build. In my ad I don't want to come off as a perv or something but would like a picture of the person's entire body. What's the professional way to request that?

Thanks!

I don't think full body shot sounds pervy. Especially if you mention you need someone with an athletic build.

Thats pretty standard; "full body shot" is common terminology. I'd ask for a regular headshot too though. Not pervy at all, so long as they know going in that the body will be an emphasis for the character.

Yeah, film making is a very visual medium, someone needs to look the part, and you need to make sure every inch of what your paying for in your movie is what your looking for. Body Shot is fine.
