HEADSHOTS DALLAS

LOVE YOUR HEADSHOT

Ordinary people. Extraordinary smiles!

You don’t have to be a movie star to have a great headshot. It only takes great coaching, great lighting, and a relaxed and comfortable you!

Relax and laugh.

The secret to a great expression is to feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. I make sure my studio is a “deer in front of the headlights” free zone.

The FAQs

WHAT TO WEAR

Clothing should compliment the most important feature of your headshot, your face and expression. It is best to have fitted clothes, but not too tight. You want to feel comfortable and on top of your game. Choose clothing appropriate for the purpose of your headshot. See additional tips below.

How many outfits to bring?

Women should bring 6+ outfits, three casual and three business. Having a number of outfits gives you the choice of seeing how they photograph. An outfit that looks really great on you may not photograph that well, whereas another outfit may really photograph well. Remember it’s a headshot so focus on tops and jackets. Men should bring at least two jackets and 3 or 4 shirts. The shirts should be well pressed especially if they are worn without a jacket. Bring at least 5 ties so we can pick one that really looks great photographed.

Patterns or solid colors?

Generally we recommend solid colors although small prints can work well also. The focus in on your face and expression. Large prints can grab the eye and take away the focus from the face.

What colors photograph well?

Bring both bold and muted colors, but especially bring some of your favorite colors. You usually know what colors best flatter your skin tones. But again, it is great to have a choice. We can try some different colors and see what photographs best for you.

HAIR & MAKEUP

The focus is on your face and expression. Makeup and hair should complement your warm and authentic expression. Apply your makeup as you normally do with perhaps a bit more attention to detail. Authentic to who you are is the key. And the same goes for your hair. See some additional tips below.

Makeup Tips for women

Liquid foundation looks better than powder.
Keep the lip color close to your natural lip color or 1 shade darker and glossy. No matte lipstick.
No visible hard-edge lip liner.
Go easy on the blush/bronzer.
Keep eyes looking defined but natural.
Soft blended eyeliner.
No hard-edge liquid eyeliner.
Neutral color eyeshadow is usually best. No lines of demarcation or heavy smoked-out eyeshadow.
Wear mascara and curl your lashes. They show up great in photographs.
Be sure and drink lots of water to keep your skin well hydrated.
And don’t forget to get a good night’s sleep the night before to make sure that your skin is “camera ready.”

Skin Prep Tips for Men

Use a facial moisturizer to control dry skin.
If you have oily skin, I have some wipes that are great in cutting down the shine.
If you do not have a beard, please shave an hour or so before your headshot. 5 o’clock shadow is very difficult if not impossible to remove.
Be sure and drink lots of water to keep your skin well hydrated.
And don’t forget to get a good night’s sleep the night before so that your skin is “camera ready.”

If you want to have your hair cut for the session, please do it at least several days before your session.
If you color your hair, make sure roots are touched up before your session.

MEN

Style your hair in the manner you normally would.
If you want to have your hair cut for the session, please do it at least several days before your session.
Bring your hair products with you to the session. This will allow you to change up your look during the session.
