Process for Shoots ::
When you arrive at our studio, we first review what we will accomplish during your sitting and sign the necessary releases. All clients are required to sign a model release, and minor clients must be accompanied by a legal guardian who will monitor the sitting and sign the release. Payment is due in full at the time of your session. Cash and Personal checks only.
We approach the sitting in two phases. In the first group of shots, we go for a "neutral" look, It is from this grouping that you will most likely choose for your main headshot. In phase two, based on our initial interview, we'll find out more about the characters and roles you like to play and we bring out those characters during the remainder of the shoot through suggestions. Many of our clients and their agents believe that a character look is best to submit for certain targeted roles and improves their chances of getting called for an audition.
Bring your own makeup and hair brush. We are not licensed cosmetologists and cannot touch your skin or hair other than to point out something which should be fixed during the shoot. You are more than welcome to invite a skilled friend who can help you in this area.
The actual shooting is done in the studio. Professional, digital lighting is employed to give the photographer complete freedom to move around during the shoot. Bring a CD of your favorite music to help set the mood! We have our own eclectic selection of music too. Be prepared to chat with the photographer during the shoot; its a relaxed, fun experience!
When the shoot is over, the images will be transferred to the Mac-based graphics work station. Your entire image library will be rendered onto a CD or jump drive (if you provide one) so that you can take them home with you immediately at the end of the session. Each image has a reference number; Once you choose what you want, just call or email us with the image number and we'll finish your headshots in post-production and have them printed at the lab. They'll be ready in 3-5 business days. Keep in mind that the previews are unfinished representations of the final headshots. They must be artfully cropped, color and exposure corrected, and retouched before they can be used and reproduced in quantity.
Dress::
1. Solid colors; mid-tones; & subtle patterns work best. Avoid plain white and pastels unless you are certain theyre a real winner for you. Try to wear colors that compliment your skin tone. This will help accentuate your natural features. Super bright colors can sometimes be too much. Photography does not magically remove wrinkles! If you stuff your shirts in a, bag they will look like they were stuffed in a bag for the shoot. Bring them in a garment bag - even t-shirts. ALWAYS bring your favorite item of clothing!
2. Neckline: Is your neck short or long? V-necks lengthen the neck whereas round necklines shorten it. A collar frames the face well, without taking away length from your neck.
3. Subdued/No Patterns: Avoid bold colors and crazy patterns. Avoid light greens. If we decide to do some green screen shots to insert you into different backgrounds, a light green top could be a problem in post-production.
4. Glasses: If you always wear glasses, buy cheap pair that looks like yours and remove the lenses otherwise there can be reflections in your eyes. This is only if you want pictures wearing your glasses.
5. No Logos: Listen carefully: NO WRITING ON YOUR SHIRT. Logos mean product placement issues and any production staff must be very careful about legal issues. So if a logo appears in your headshot, it just shows you aren't clued in.
6. 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::
1. Avoid heavy makeup! During finishing of your selected images, we will take care of blemishes and other 'artifacts' on your skin during the basic retouch process. Heavy makeup tends to look caked up. Remember that our cameras and lenses produce images at far higher definition than even HDTV and our job is to flatter you, but your head shot has to look like the person that walks into the audition space!
2. Skin Features: Do not hide your skin's personality! Flaunt your freckles. Cover your moles. They are a part of what makes you unique. Unique features are what makes others sit up and take notice. Of course, if the day of the shoot you are sporting a monstrous zit, use some light makeup, but we'll magically heal it! Generally speaking, unusual attractive features are an asset. Who would ever want to say good-bye to Harrison Ford's chin scar?
3. B/W Photo: The trend with Casting Directors today is color head shots. That's because its easier to see subtle differences in skin tones, and also because most quality reproduction houses offer color for the same price as black and white. However, a well executed B&W rendition can offer dramatic impact, and is sometimes preferred by Theatrical performers. Our RAW images are all in color, and we convert to black and white as requested.
4. Eyeliner: Soft, applied with a brush sparingly, using very little on the lower lid.
