Some Helpful Hints in Preparing for the Shoot

 

• Do not wear regular or sun glasses prior to a shoot. Glasses leave small marks on the sides of the nose.

• If you must wear glasses then you might wish to pad them so not to leave marks.

• Unless you are wearing long sleeves and pants do not wear any garment with elastic around the wrists or,
  if seen in the photo, your ankles.

• Consider bringing several changers of clothing suitable for the type / style of shots you are seeking.

• Wrist watches leave a white mark on your arm if worn while tanning. Try to avoid this as well.

• Make sure your clothes are clean, appropriate to the characters you want to play and ready to shoot.

• Try to avoid clothing with distracting patterns.

• If you like, set aside a few CD’s to bring on the shoot. Ones that will make you want to get up and move around.

• Do not shave just prior to the shoot. Do this at least an hour or more before hand. This gives the facial skin
  a chance to relax and any razor burn to dissipate.

• Depending on the type of shoot and since I do not have a regular stylist on hand, if you feel it necessary
  you might wish to bring someone with you. Better yet, you might want to do your own.

• If possible, don't forget to get a good night's rest before the shoot. If you feel tired and sluggish it's going
  to show in the shots no matter how much retouching is done.

• Most of all this should be fun! When you arrive at your photo session be relaxed and full of energy. 

• We will work together on this and you will look great! Have fun during the shoot. Relax, enjoy yourself
  and your energy and personality will automatically show through.
