Happy Spring Ya'll.
I've been very lucky to work with a lot of lovely ladies, but I rarely feature all the great gentlemen that I get to work with because I'm silly like that. JD, Peter and Zack are all great guys and very active in the NYC comedy community so I felt really lucky that they come to me to get their headshots taken.
Gentlemen, when getting your headshots taken there are a few things you should do so that we can get the best optimal results.
Grooming
Do you want to have a beard? Will you be clean shaven? I do not recommend shaving 20 minutes before coming to your shoot, give your skin sometime to heal and moisturize.
Do not get a haircut in the week leading up to your session. Something always happens and then we have to try to fix it during the session, and you're focusing on your hair rather than relaxing...so let your hair be. Also if you have longer hair/curly hair, definitely be aware of it and how it will photograph. Bring a comb & styling products if needed.
Wardrobe
My favorite thing about taking pictures of these lovely dudes is that they really do bring a lot of clothes so our options are always open. Nothing is off limits, from the super fancy to a regular V-neck. I love this because sometimes we get so stuck in our heads on what we think looks good that we forget that we also need to have what photographs well. Sometimes they are completely different things.
So when coming to my session just know that we're going to have a really fun time if we plan ahead. Bring some tunes and just trust the process and we'll get you the best picture of you possible.
