THE DAY OF THE
PHOTO SHOOT
1. Mid-tones: Avoid
plain black or white colors because they may cause lighting trouble.
This may result in contrast problems with finished prints, although
a professional photographer should be able to work with these
extremities of contrast. Try to wear colors closer to your skin
tone. This will help accentuate your natural features.
2. Neckline: Is your neck short or long? A V-neck lengthens the
neck; a round neckline shortens it. A collar frames the face well,
without decreasing the length of your neck. A collared shirt with a
V-neck or a few buttons undone is most popular. Turtlenecks
completely hide the neck, which is very unflattering and should be
avoided.
3. Subdued/No Patterns: Avoid bold colors and crazy patterns (i.e.,
like Mr. T's chain, a huge Charlie Brown stripe). They will present
a distraction.
4. Glasses: If you wear glasses, go with frames only, no lenses;
lenses can cause a glare or reflect the flash, ruining a perfectly
good shot.
5. Personal: Wear something that makes you feel great and relaxed.
6. Jeans (Hmmm?): Jeans are a bit casual. Try something more formal.
Remember--you want to look extraordinary and have something to offer
that the rest do not have. However, depending upon what you
plan to use your photographs for, jeans might be just the look you
are going for.
7. Leather (Hmmm?): Screams erotic, and alternative lifestyle in
most portfolios. It can limit your potential audience.
However, depending upon what you plan to use your photographs for,
leather might be just the look you are going for.
8. Jean Jackets: The eighties are over. Throw it away.
However, depending upon what you plan to use your photographs for, a
jeans jacket might be just the look you are going for.
9. No Logos: Okay. Listen carefully: NO WRITING ON YOUR SHIRT. It is
illegal to photograph Logos for distributable materials without the
express permission of the Logo designer.
10. Limited Jewelry: Avoid distracting accessories, such as large,
shiny jewelry. If you have a pierced ear, wear studs or small hoops.
No matter how much you love your gold necklace, remember it will
take the focus away from your face.
Makeup! Look your best.
1. Base: Use a good quality base that covers your skin without
caking. You want your natural skin tones to show. The new
mineral make ups are great for that flawless look.
2. Skin Features: Do not hide your skin's personality! Flaunt
your freckles. They are part of what makes you unique. Unusual
features make others sit up and take notice. Of course, if on the
day of the shoot you are sporting a monstrous zit, use some make-up.
But generally, unique attractive features are an asset.
3. B/W Photo: Remember, IF you're doing this for Black and
White photos, not color; darker colors will appear as shadows,
lighter colors as highlights.
4. Eyeliner: Soft, applied sparingly with a brush, using very
little on the lower lid.
5. Straight Hair: You want to frame your face, so if your hair
is very straight and long, give it some body to accentuate your
face.
6. For Men Only: A light coat of powder will help even out
your skin tones. Otherwise, use make-up very sparingly.
7. Pimples, Etc: Life is full of little imperfections. Use
makeup to even it out. If it still shows, don't panic. You will be
amazed what retouching can do to a photo.
8. Dark Beards: Dark beards usually are accentuated in photos,
so some men may want to use a little cream base to slightly lighten
their beards.
9. Hairpiece: Great! You've got two looks. Definitely do a
shot with and without it.
10. Haircut: Don't cut your hair the day before your shoot! It
will look like you just got a haircut. Give your hair at least a
week after a cut to relax.
Set the Atmosphere.
Here are four ways of
enhancing the senses so that your photo will flatter you:
1. Sound: Provide music that makes you happy, relaxes you, and
makes you feel more at home.
2. Sight: Bring several changes of clothes, and do not be
afraid to use them.
3. Taste: Eat well. Stay energized. Bring something to drink
while you are shooting (and I don't mean alcohol).
4. Smell: Scents tap right into the animal part of your brain.
They can help get you in the right mood. If you have a
perfume/cologne that makes you feel like a million bucks, or a
scented candle that puts your mind at ease, by all means bring it. |
