![]() As no one wants to look like a sweaty mess in their photos. And gentlemen I trip to the toilet to wash your face just before you have your photo taken, or a quick wash with a baby wipe also works well. ![]() So ladies i’d recommend a bit of concealer / foundation. This is especially true in the summer when it’s a hot day. However one of the disadvantages of studio lighting is that it can often make your skin look shiny / glossy / sweaty / greasy. This is great as they will usually set up the lighting to get the most flattering image of you. This is to ensure that they can get constant results from the portraits. Most of the time when a photographer comes into your work place and sets up a studio the chances are they will be using artificial lights. So think about contrast and tones and if in doubt take a couple of shots of yourself in the mirror on your phone and convert them to black and white and see what looks good. That pink tie with that light blue shirt may look great in real life, but by the time the image has been converted to black and white, they may be the same tone and just blend into one an other. So something else to consider is the tones that you wear. So if you can think about wearing something plain that will look good no matter what size the image is.Ī lot of portraits get converted into black and white. Also patterns which look cool on your clothes may just be a busy visual noise on camera. This is especially evident when an image is small on a screen. There is a thing called the moire effect when thin strips close together create a secondary rippling pattern. ![]() Or you might have got a promotion and don’t want to be associated with One Direction any more now that you’re a manager.Īlso patterns and thin stripes don’t work well on camera and computer screens. So a band who may be cool now, might not be in two years time. After all this photo is probably going to last a couple of years on the companies website. ![]() You’d be surprised how many people have writing on their tops and it just looks bad. When thats photographed and it’s just a head shot, it’ll be your face with the words ‘my mum’ below it. After all who wants to wear a T-Shirt with the slogan “my mum went on holiday and all I got was this lousy T-shirt’. The chances are that they may be cut off in the shot and look silly. ![]() So don’t wear any graphic logo t-shirts or band names or funny slogans on your top. ![]()
