FOR BUSINESS:

  • Consider whether you prefer a business formal or a business casual look and prepare accordingly.

  • Solids work best rather than busy patterns or a combination of both such as a printed dress shirt or top with a solid blazer.

  • Neutral colors are preferred for business professionals.

  • For multi look package please bring several options so we can choose together what will be best for your skin tone, hair color and preferred background.

  • Have your clothing cleaned pressed and ready when you arrive for your session.

FOR ACTORS:

  • Identify your acting “type(s)”.

  • Dress like the characters you want to play.

  • Choose outfits for commercial and theatrical looks.

  • Solids work best rather than busy patterns.

  • Consider Layers such as jackets and or sweaters.

  • Avoid jewelry and too many accessories.

  • Authenticity is important.

For corporate headshots please check to see if you have a company standard for the background color/style and let us know in advance.

If you do not have a company standard to follow we will consult with you about background colors and styles before your session.
