Portrait Tips
Clothing
Everyone has their favorite clothing; however, not all clothing photographs well. Solid colors are best because they will allow more focus on the face, which is the purpose of the portrait! WIld clothes with stripes, prints, and patterns, will force the main point of attention toward the print and away from the face.
Long sleeves are best in appearance because they allow the attention to be drawn toward your eyes and face. There is more skin on the arms than there is on the face, so by covering the arms you draw attention toward your features.
Bare arms tend to add the illusion of weight to your overall look, so if that is an issue try wearing long sleeves. Additionally, darker clothes tend to make people look thinner, so if you have any of these concerns please keep these clothing tips in mind.
Hair
Have you ever come out of the salon or barbershop thinking your hair is too short, too long, or that you just don’t like it? Try and have you hair cut at least a week to two weeks before the session. This gives you time to work out any issues you have and get your hair just the way you like it.
Ladies, we want to make sure your hair is just the way you want it, so bring any styling tools you wish to help during the session.
Men, please make sure you shave just before your session. This will help alleviate any shadowing in your portraits. Unless, that is a look you want!
Makeup
Makeup should be applied as normal when going out for the evening. Keep in mind that light lipsticks may not show up well in the photos. Use lip gloss if you normally don’t wear lipstick. Adding color and or shine will give your face more overall color. Bring powder with you as this will assist in reducing any shiny spots that may occur during your session.
Blemishes / Scars
We are 100% digital and can fix “almost” any blemish. We will do our best to smooth out any blemish that is present.
Glasses
Glasses sometimes make up who we are as a person. If you wear glasses try and ask your optometrist to loan you a pair of lens-less glasses for your session. Glare is often difficult and expensive to correct after photos are taken. While we are digital, we can’t correct all lens glare. Sometimes tinted lenses will turn dark in the studio resulting in dark eyes, and we cannot fix this. If you wear contacts we suggest you wear them for your session. However, don’t change who you are. We can pose you in certain ways to help reduce glare, but please be aware of the aforementioned problems that can arise.
