Everyone needs a great headshot; call me to schedule yours! Here are a few pointers for great headshots....
Wardrobe
You should like and feel comfortable in the clothes you wear in a headshot session.
Bring shirts in a variety of collars/necklines. The picture may be cropped pretty tight, and some collars and sleeves look funky when cut off. Women, don’t forget to bring bras and/or camisoles that match your tops’ colors and necklines.
Solid colors are usually better. I have found that patterns and busy prints distract from your face. The same goes for clothes with big buttons or other features that might take away attention from that beautiful face of yours.
Wear jeans or dark pants. Even though it is a head shot, your waist and legs might show up. In addition, you might want to bring a dress, suit, skirt, or something else different from a typical pants & top combo.
And always, please make sure your clothes are pressed and clean!
Colors
Choose clothes that complement your skin tone and eye color. I would stay away from solid white shirts if you’re light-skinned. Contrast is key!
Fair skin and blue eyes? Try blues, pinks and grays.
Green eyes? Try browns, greens and oranges.
Medium or dark skin and brown eyes? You can probably wear most colors, but avoid those that closely match your skin tone (again, contrast is key).
