Session Prep: Headshots

March 12, 2018

You've scheduled the headshot session. Nice! What's next?

Clothing

Some people like to wear casual, others a suit. Either of these can be great choices, but remember to wear something that you feel confident in. Its best to avoid distracting patterns or colors, as these draw attention away from your face. 

Makeup

This is almost always a yes, but make sure to ask your photographer. If you have little experience with makeup a makeup artist can usually be added to your session for additional cost. 

Background, Lighting, and Mood

Make sure to let your photographer know why you are taking your headshot. Is it for your business profile, acting portfolio or dance portfolio? These things will change the mood and lighting of your headshot, or rather they should. A Fortune 500 CEO or President shouldn't be shot the same way as a comedian, unless maybe they're the President of Comedy Central, but even then not really. 

Questions 

If you have any questions prior to your session, make sure to ask your photographer. If you have specific requirements (image ratio, , image orientation, image licensing concerns), make sure to bring them up prior to your session. 

If your like to book with us, book a call or contact us using the Inquire chat box on the bottom left. Thanks!
