How to prep for a commercial photo shoot
10 Tips and Wardrobe Basics
We're creative professionals at TandemWorks, we work to make you look and feel your best. We're dedicated to giving you a fun and stress free shoot but we're not magicians. Use these tips for a great session!
Sleep
We all know it’s important. Getting a good night's sleep does wonders for your eyes.
Moisturize your face
If you don’t already moisturize your face, start at least a week prior. Lotion is your friend, especially in the winter.
Makeup
Natural is good, embrace the laugh lines and wear just a little extra.
Nails
A great excuse for a manicure. A traditional head and shoulders shot doesn’t warrant this.
Hair
Men - Schedule a haircut at least a week prior.
You want to be comfortable and feel your best, remember this when preparing for your upcoming session. Be the best version of you!
6. Clothing
Schedule time to select your clothing. Think about how you want to be received and how your choice of clothing reflects that.
7. Clothing to Avoid
Avoid distracting patterns and clothing with slogans or logos. Not sure? Bring options.
8. Prep clothing
Wash, iron and prep clothing for your session. If it wrinkles easy, consider changing onsite.
9. Glasses or no glasses
If you wear your glasses on a regular basis and people know you as someone who wears glasses, wear them.
10. Jewelry
Minimal and subtle is good. If you’re someone who always rocks a chunky necklace, by all means wear it!
