5 Tips on How to Prepare for your Head Shot Portrait Session | Pittsburgh Portrait Photographer5 Tips on How to Prepare for your Head Shot Portrait Session Many clients come for a portrait session feeling a little anxious about having their picture taken and are concerned about looking their best. Today I'm sharing 5 tips for a successful professional and/or fun headshot portrait session and photos from a recent portrait session. 1. Loosen up | Relax and be yourself When you are relaxed you look comfortable, confident and your natural state. You want to portray your unique style and personality. You don't want to look like a statue.
2. Bring Wardrobe Options Bring different tops that reflect your character. Wear solid colors and textured clothing like leather, denim and lace. Avoid busy patterns because they can distract from your face. Layers look great. Bring vests, scarves, ties, jackets, sweaters etc.
3. Mentally Prepare. Think of your favorite actor and work on sharing a range of emotion! Forget about the camera and have fun! Remember that it's all about the eyes. Your eyes show your inner thoughts, your background, your life. Make your eyes come alive and energized you don't want dead or glazed over expressions.
4. Be Well Rested. When you are rested you have better focus and more energy. You want to be at your 100 percent.
5. Go easy on yourself! 90 percent of actors worry that they look awful in their portraits. It makes sense. We are all too hard on ourselves. Don't be. “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” – Mark Twain
