Headshot Preparation

Before the Shoot

The following advice is designed to help you get the most from your headshot session in our studios. Don’t worry, we know you are likely to feel a little apprehensive. Our photographers will take you through a relaxed guided photoshoot with patience and humour.

Get your clothing ready for the shoot and make a list of poses you would like to do. You should also have a good idea of makeup and hairstyles. Any haircuts and tanning should be done a few days before. Shave, wax and pluck as required – and most of all, get plenty of beauty sleep.

Preparing for your Photo Shoot

• Think about what to wear – casual, sporty, formal
• No clothing with fussy or intricate patterns
• Practice your posing at home in front of the mirror
• The internet is fantastic for info on headshots styles
• If you are doing your own hair and makeup have a go at home
• Come in with your hair ready styled – it saves time
• Shave, wax and pluck as required.
• Make sure your nails are clean and manicured
• A good nights sleep will do wonders for your headshots
• Probably best not to drink the night before:)

Being prepared for your studio shoot means that you will use your scheduled time to maximum effect.
