Fresno Photographer | Preparing for Head Shots

PREPARING FOR YOUR HEAD SHOTS

Be prepared!  If you take some time planning for your session, the resulting images will look great!

CLOTHING

Keep it simple!

  • Solid, Neutral colors photograph best in headshots
  • If you’re preferential to patterns, keep it simple
  • Begin with a shirt or blouse and layer accordingly, i.e. necklace, scarf, sweater, jacket, sport coat, etc..
  • Please press/iron ALL items of clothing prior to you session.
  • Don’t stress 🙂

HAIR

  • Style your hair as you normally would.  Don’t change it up for picture day.
  • Bring a brush and hairspray/gel for studio touch-up if necessary

MAKEUP

  • Keep it natural, but enhanced.
  • Think day makeup at night.  Apply a little heavier than normal.
  • Bring lipstick/gloss with you for in studio touch-up if necessary
  • Facial hair…get rid of it a few days before so as not to have irritated skin…lips, brows, chin…
  • FOR MEN: Shave the morning of your shoot.  No 5 o’clock shadows unless that’s your regular style.

MODEL IN THE MIRROR

  • Smile, laugh, act coy
  • Be YOU!
  • Lastly, HAVE FUN!
