What to wear for a head shot
Congratulations! You are going to get a nice head shot of yourself.
Now what should we wear?
Not a Tap Out shirt. Or anything with words or strong patterns like flowers or big stripes. We should probably play conservative with that stuff.
Solid colours are great! Though maybe not pure black or bright white if you can help it.
Guys should bring a few t shirts, and a few button up shirts with collars. And iron them please!
Girls can bring almost anything as long as it isn’t super low cut and revealing.
From the waist down doesn’t usually matter so much so wear something comfortable. And shoes will probably not be in any of the shots so once again; think comfortable.
Guys should carefully shave and not leave anything behind unless the beard or moustache is your thing.
Women should wear less than more makeup, and everyone should drink lots of water the day of, and get a good nights sleep the night before.
