HEADSHOT PREPARATION
What to Wear
1. Keep It Simple!
Choose clean, classic pieces over trendy ones. Think polished, not loud. Solid colors always photograph best.
2. Best Colors
Neutrals: black, white, cream, gray, navy
Rich tones: burgundy, forest green, deep blue
Avoid neon colors and overly bright tones (they reflect onto your skin)
3. Avoid Distractions
No busy patterns, large logos, or graphics
Avoid thin stripes or tight patterns (they can distort on camera)
4. Fit Matters More Than Brand
Tailored clothing instantly elevates your look
Avoid anything too baggy or overly tight
5. Layering Adds Depth
Blazers, jackets, or textured fabrics create a more dimensional image
6. Necklines Matter
Choose flattering necklines (V-neck, scoop, or structured collars often work well)
Avoid overly low cut tops unless that aligns with your brand
Grooming & Styling
1. Hair
Style your hair as you normally would, just slightly more polished
Fresh haircuts are great, ideally 3–7 days before your session
2.Makeup (if worn)
Aim for natural and polished
Matte finishes photograph better than heavy shine
Slightly more definition than everyday makeup works best on camera
3.Facial Hair
Cleanly groomed or freshly trimmed
Avoid trying a brand new style right before your session
4.Glasses?
We can shoot with and without
Anti-reflective lenses are ideal,
