Shoot prep
For a standard 3 roll headshot shoot I book 2 hour time slots with an
extra hour if hair and make up is to be done at the studio.
The biggest taboo is all white. White acts as a reflector and bounces
light. Something light will look white. Busy patterns are not recommended
and NO logos. Solids are best, more darks are preferred but some light
items can make for fabulous shots on a dark background. If you’re
not sure on what to bring, it’s better to bring a little too much
than to run short.
My make up artist will want you to show up with a clean face with no make
up on. Anything you have on, will have to come off. We want you to do
your hair as close to the way you will want it in your shot. This way
my hair dresser won’t have to dream up a doo for you that may not
look like you usually have it. Instead, he will finesse your existing
style to make your hair look as good as possible.
