  Headshot Tips
PLEASE be exactly as yourself.  This is very important when someone check out your image they want to see you.

Important let the photographer know what kind of role you are going for and what look you are trying to achieve.

Try different poses at home in front of a mirror.  Try different expressions and movements.

OK let be honest for a minute get a good nights sleep and don't drink we need you at your best.

What about your character, what are you trying to achieve in your image?

Who are you trying to become where is the character from?

This is a question that you should have some idea what role you are going to go for, also try to match your wardrobe.
       
 

 

What to were in the shot

  • Black is very good, avid white unless you were it under something.
  • Remember darker clothes attract less attention and bring more attention to your face.
  • Try to avoid busy patterns and large stripes/lines.
  • Suits or a jacket are great for men as a secondary look.
  • The clothes that you were should be neat and if possible look new.
  • Wear clothes that feel good and you look great in.
  • PLEASE don't overdress .
  • Avoid jewelry that will distract from your face.
  • Keep your jewelry simple.
  • For multiple roles and looks, bring a variety of clothing that emphasizes different characters.
  • Pay attention to details.  Layers, ties belts etc.
  • Different necklines will change the your shape of your face.  Bring a variety to see what works best.
  • Turtlenecks are almost always a bad idea.
