FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Should I Wear?

We normally ask you to bring 3-4 different items of clothing so we can see what’s going to work best for you. We usually shoot all of your outfits and review at the end. Avoid clothing that is heavily patterned or striped becuase this can be distracting. Please make sure your outfits are clean and freshly ironed. Jewellery should be kept to a minimum.

How Long Is The Headshot Session?

We normally allow 2-3 hours per person. The length of time for team and corporate headshots depends on how many people need to be photographed.

Retouching will be discussed at the end of your session. Anything distracting is removed including temporary blemishes.

Do I need to prepare?

It’s best to have a good night’s sleep and to stay hydrated. You don’t need to worry about having your headshot taken. It will be a fun and enjoyable experience.

How Should I do My Makeup?

It’s best to keep your makeup subtle and natural. Heavy eyes and bright lipstick don’t work well for headshots. Anything with a sheen finish should be avoided.
