We recommend avoiding strong patterns or logos as these tend to distract the eye and date over time. A plainer shirt or top is best for an actors look as we normally only see your top half for headshots. For men, black, grey or earth colours work best. Women’s tops work well in most colours. Although it’s always good to remember that lighter and brighter colours draw the eye away from your face. So medium to darker colours are best to get noticed in your shots. For dancer’s and performers we suggest bringing along a few changes of clothes and costumes especially if we are shooting dance or more full length images showing off your movement/technique and body.
If you have seen images that you like. It’s a good idea to send these to us a few days prior to the shoot. This will give us time to analyse the images and plan your shoot prior to the day. If we are shooting a promo pack for instance with 3 individual looks think about a particular feel or role you may imagine yourself in for at least one of the shots.
If you have a talent or skill you would like to highlight bring along a suitable prop. If you are a musician/ performer then bring your instrument of choice or perhaps a nice microphone/stand so we can shoot a great onstage shot. Anything else that will help you get into the mood like great music requests for us to play during your session!
