FAQs

Please bring at least three outfit options. If you're an actor, choose pieces that reflect the roles you pursue—solids typically work best. Consider colors that enhance your eyes, hair, and skin tone, and avoid overly busy patterns. For non-actors, wear what aligns with your photo's purpose. I recommend avoiding solid black, white, and bright red, particularly for actors.

Lower necklines are flattering for headshots, and items like jackets, glasses, or accessories can add variety. If shooting outdoors in cold weather, gloves can be a lifesaver.

Hair and makeup should be as natural as possible, especially for actors—think of what you'd wear to an audition. Ensure your look is something you can easily recreate if needed. If you frequently wear wigs, consider showcasing at least two different styles for variety.

Keep jewelry minimal. Opt for small earrings and avoid anything dangling. It’s best to skip necklaces altogether.

Each look (outfit) takes about 15-30 minutes depending on the person.
