Your Photoshoot - What You Should Know!
Get plenty of sleep and rest before your photoshoot. This is hard work people. Please be on time. Plan ahead so that you are not rushed. Grab a bite to eat. Just something light so you don’t get hangry.
Bring who you are. A school jacket, class ring, instrument, sticks, soccer ball , skateboard.
fishing gear, Really anything that is you. Maybe you want photos with your dog, car, motorcycle, or tractor. Just let me know in advance so we can plan an appropriate location.
Do not try a new hairstyle for your photoshoot and have your hair cut about a week before. Guys: Shave! If you have a beard, make sure it is trimmed. Girls: Fresh, natural makeup or "evening" makeup photograph well.
What should you wear? Formal headshots keep it simple. Guys: jacket & tie or dark sweater. Girls: dark top or sweater. Informal portraits, let’s have some fun. Think casual. earthtones, browns, tans, warm grays/blues & greens.
Glasses - If you wear glasses most of the time you’ll want to wear them in your portraits. To eliminate distracting glare and reflections, call your optician and arrange to either borrow a pair of empty frames like yours or have the lenses removed from your own frames (you can’t see in the photograph that the lenses have been removed). Most opticians will gladly do this for free if you give them a few days notice. This is the most important way to improve your portraits if you wear glasses.
Check out Pinterest for both clothing and posing ideas.
