Rest, sleep well, visit your barber or hair dresser, shave, hydrate. All good advice for your non-headshot days too. It’s worth trying on a couple of different outfit choices and checking for fit. Does the collar fit, do you look good and feel great? If the answer is yes then pack those outfits. Make sure that you have a very clear idea about the different use cases you have in mind for using your headshot.

You don’t have to book a hair and makeup artist for your shoot. Yet, we recommend the extra benefit of booking our professional hair and makeup, or your own. If you book a hair and makeup specialist, call us for more details on space requirements.

The most important consideration is how you feel in the clothes you choose. For professional headshots, it’s important to dress for the current role, or role you are aiming to achieve. Bring many outfits to try during the shoot session time. The more options you have, the more platforms you can apply images to.
