Clothing Suggestions:The clothing you choose for your headshot can significantly impact the overall impression it conveys. Here are some dos and p in

• Opt for solid colors or subtle patterns that don't overpower your face. Busy prints or busy designs that can overwhelm your look.
• 
  
• Consider layering your outfit to add depth and visual interest. Blazers or cardigans can elevate your look and provide versatility for different looks.
• 
  
• Select pieces that fit you well and flatter your body shape. Loose or overly tight garments can appear unprofessional. 
• 
  
• It's generally recommended to wear long sleeves or 3/4 sleeves. They provide a more professional and polished look and help to balance out the proportions of your upper body.
• 
  
• Scoop and V-neck tops can accentuate the neckline and bring a flattering, slimming effect to your portrait.  Avoid bulky turtlenecks or col necks. 
• 
  
• Most headshots focus on the upper body, so be sure areas around the neckline and arms are pressed flat and lay nicely. 

Jewelry & Accessories:

• Simple studs or small hoops add a touch of elegance without being too distracting. Avoid chunky or large statement pieces that can distract from the face. 
• 
  

Personal Styling for both men and women:

For women:

• Hairstyles: Opt for a hairstyle that suits your face shape and complements your desired look. Avoid drastic changes before the shoot to ensure you feel like yourself. The aim is to feel confident and comfortable.
• 
  
• Suggestions: Pulling hair back or wearing it in a sleek ponytail or bun keeps your hair out of your face and creates a clean and professional look. If you prefer to wear your hair down or have a short style, just make sure it is well-groomed and styled. The key to styling your hair is to keep it polished and professional.
• 
  
• Makeup: Aim for a natural look that enhances your features. Focus on even skin tone, defined eyebrows, subtly accentuated eyes, and flattering lip color. Avoid heavy or dramatic makeup unless it aligns with your desired image. 

For men:

• Hairstyle: Make sure your hair is clean and neatly styled on the day of the shoot. If you need a haircut, schedule it a few days before the session to allow your hair to settle and look natural.
• 
  
• General Grooming: For a clean look, be sure to give attention to the grooming of eyebrows, nose, ears, and necklines, as these details will be captured by the camera.
• 
  
• Shaving: If your skin is prone to redness or irritation after shaving, be sure to give yourself enough time for your skin to calm down before the session. 

Color Suggestions:

Understanding your skin, hair, and eye coloring and choosing complementary colors based on that will help enhance your features and create a harmonious look.

Neutrals: These are a safe choice. They photograph well and tend to be slimming and detract less from the face.

• 
  
• Classic white: can create a clean and fresh look.  It adds brightness to your headshot and exudes a sense of purity and elegance. 
• 
  
• Soft Grays:  Light to medium shades of gray can provide a subtle and polished image.  Gray is a versatile neutral that complements various skin tones and creates a contemporary and timeless aesthetic. 
• 
  
• Charcoal or Navy:  If you prefer a darker neutral, charcoal gray or deep navy can add depth and sophistication to your headshot.  These colors convey a sense of authority and professionalism. 

Colors:  If you love color, just be sure the color you choose compliments your skin tone. 

• 
  
• Jewel Tones: Emerald greens, sapphire blues, or ruby reds are great options for those with cool undertones.
• 
  
• Earth Tones: Yellow, coral, terra-cotta, and peach can complement those with warmer undertones.
• 
  
• Soft pastels: Mint green, baby blue, or blush pink work well for a softer, airy look.
