How to Wear Patterned Wardrobe in a Headshot
For the best headshot wardrobe, opt for solid colors over patterns to keep the focus on your face. If wearing patterns, choose medium or small prints, low-contrast colors, or layer with a solid blazer. Textured fabrics are a great alternative. Avoid patterns in group photos, but if showcasing personal style, bold patterns can work for branding shots. Book your session now for a polished, professional look!
Tips For Wearing Glasses in Your Headshot
For a great headshot with glasses, ensure they fit well, are clean, and in good repair. Avoid scratched lenses or bent frames. Bring multiple pairs for variety and let transition lenses clear before your session. Position your head to minimize glare and choose frames that complement your face shape.

Why The Right Makeup is Important

It minimizes retouching, making photos look more natural and edits faster. The pampering also boosts confidence. Even men benefit from light powder.
