Bring a variety of different styles. I ask that everyone bring at least 6 tops. Clothing that looks great on you is always best. Make sure that you're comfortable in it too! Colors that compliment your skin tone will be best. If you want color headshots, bring colors that won't compete with your natural look. Stay away from heavy saturated colors, fluorescent, over-powering attire. Black, white, these neutrals look great for color headshots. If you're eyes are blue or green, bring some blues and greens as well--they will compliment you and redirect the focus back to your eyes. If you want a black and white headshot, bring lots of color in your clothing! I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but its true! Also, any kind of pattern is going to be distracting, so stay away from plaids, hawaiian shirts, flowers, and stripes. Avoid turtlenecks. Layering some tops can also bring about an awesome look.

Jewelry

Most of the time we don't use any because it tends to divert the focus away from you rather than in towards you.

Sleep

Get a good night's rest beforehand. If there's bags under the eyes or the energy isn't there, it comes right through to the headshot. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol too. Proper hydration will help all your systems function much better.

Hair and Makeup

A great haircut can make a big difference so you want that done well beforehand so it has time to settle in. Makeup can be applied before you arrive and then touched up once you get to the studio.

Directions

The address of the studio is 4400 Spruce Street, Philadelphia PA 19104. Its easy to find and difficult to park. If you can't find parking after looking for 5 minutes, just call in and I will let you park in my private parking lot.

Most of all I look forward to shooting with you and I love a free-flowing organic shoot. Bring your energy and spirit and we'll capture it. I guarantee it!
