Headshot Tips Tampa -Preparation for Your Headshot
Headshot tips Preparation:
- A good night sleep will ensure that you appear rested and fresh on the day of your session.
- Do not come to the session hungry- eat a snack or a meal before your session so you have adequate energy during the session
- Do not change your hair style before your session. Wear you hair in a way that you believe makes you look your best.
- You hair should be clean and dry and styled in a manner that you like.
- Get you hair cut at the appropriate interval prior to your headshot. Some people look their best the day after a hair cut, others a few weeks after their session.
- Don’t over do the make-up. A woman should look natural in her actor headshot so the casting director can see the “real” you. A woman getting a business headshot may feel more confident if she is wearing make-up. However, it should not be excessive.
- Men should not wear make-up. Most men would feel uncomfortable wearing make-up. Therefore I never recommend that a man hire a make-up artist or wear any make-up on the day of their session. Any blemishes on a man’s face will be removed in retouching.
- Men should be clean shaven for their session. I am unable to remove a five o’clock stubble in photoshop.
- Make certain your clothes are neatly pressed.
- Wear clothing that you like. When we are wearing clothing that we like, it makes us feel better and this shows in your facial expression in the final image
