Portraits

1. Complimenting Colors: When it comes to choosing clothing, complimenting colors makes a huge difference.
2. Poses: Hand placement can make or break a photo. If it doesn’t look natural it stands out like a sore thumb.
3. Music: Bring your favourite music. Music will help keep you relaxed.

 Headshots

1. Go pro. Spend the money. It’s worth it.
2. Go for personality over glamour. Make sure it looks like you. Chill with the airbrushing.
3. It’s all about the eyes. Just like with on-camera acting, it’s all about the eyes, and what’s happening behind them.
4. Pay attention to framing, lighting, and background.  A good headshot is chest up with good lighting on your face, and no strong dramatic shadows.
5. Natural light vs. studio. Some photographers do both, as they offer a different look and feel.
6. Clothing and props. Keep it simple and classy, and have the photographer follow the standard format.
7. Don’t go crazy with the makeup. Lots can be done with retouching. There is no need to put on tons of makeup.
