A little preparation goes a long way toward headshots you love. Whether you're an actor, model, or professional, these five things set you up for a great session.
- Choose the right wardrobe. Bring pieces that reflect the roles or brand you're going for. Solid colors photograph best; skip busy patterns and big logos. When in doubt, simple wins.
- Mind the grooming. A fresh cut, tidy facial hair, or a natural makeup look makes a real difference. If you're getting a haircut, do it about a week out.
- Get real rest. A good night's sleep beats any amount of retouching for looking fresh and awake.
- Practice in the mirror. Play with a few expressions and angles ahead of time so you feel comfortable — though don't worry, I'll direct you the whole way.
- Relax and be yourself. The best headshots capture the real you. Take a breath, trust the process, and let your personality come through.
