Tips for having the Best Photo Shoot!
Submitted by Thomas on May 11, 2011
We want you to have the best portrait session possible. With that in mind, here are some tips to help ensure the best possible experience.
- Plan your expected haircut at least 2 weeks before your portrait sitting. This allows you to be comfortable with your new hair and for it to look natural. Avoid radical new haircuts until after your portrait sitting.
- Guys -- SHAVE. Ladies, make sure your nails are neatly done. Remember to remove hair ties from your wrist and keep your make up natural and fresh.
- Get plenty of rest the night before.
- A tan looks great -- a sunbun does not! So, be careful in the sun or tanning beds just prior to your shoot.
- Glasses can cause distortion to your face and glare. Ask your optician if you can borrow frames like yours without lenses.
- Casual outifts are best for outdoor photographs, avoid fabrics with large prints or patterns that distract from your face.
Sweaters and long sleeves photograph beautifully as well. - BRING EVERYTHING YOU LOVE OR ARE INVOLVED IN AT SCHOOL!! Some examples are sports gear, uniforms, instruments, pets, cars, etc.
