How to prepare for a photo shoot.

If the photo session is planned indoors or in a studio. Familiarize yourself with the style of the rooms in the photos, so that you can figure out in advance what outfits or accessories to get for your own style or that of your family.


MAKE-UP & MANICURE


Even if you are a supporter of the natural image, it does not mean that you can come without professional make-up, because natural make-up is the most difficult.


I recommend an hour before the photo session for girls to ask for time with a make-up artist. Even if you think that you mean to paint yourself, professional make-up for a photo session is different from ordinary everyday make-up.


It is also important to remember about the manicure. Hands often stand out during a photo session. A simple, inconspicuous and well-kept manicure will complement your image.


HAIR & HAIRSTYLE


For the photos to turn out really beautiful, the hair must be clean, well-groomed and styled. Take a comb with you. If you want different characters, also take hair clips, hair elastics and other hair accessories.

It is especially important for men to clean not only their hair, but also their beard.


If a family photo session is planned, encourage the other participants to get messy as well.


CLOTHING


Think about how the clothes will coordinate with your overall style. It's good to know your color range and the colors that suit you best. Remember that clean, neutral colors, no prints, no stripes/checks look best in the photo.


Ladies should remember tights and shoes. Every smallest detail is noticeable in the photo.


It's important to be aware of your surroundings because the camera is cruel. If you think that your figure is not ideal, avoid clothes with short sleeves.


It would be correct to come to the photo session with at least two sets of clothes. The style of clothing is not as important as the color and overall image.


Your personality should definitely stand out in the photo, but don't let your clothes be more noticeable than you. Clothing should be in accordance with your inner nature, so that it accentuates your personality.


It is important that your clothes are ironed and hung. A photo session is like a holiday, so I recommend treating yourself or the whole family to new outfits!


SUGGESTIONS


If you know that a photo session is planned in the near future, remember some important rules:


Get some sleep! So that there are no blue circles under the eyes.


Don't sit at the computer until night! This will create a tired look in the photo.


Do not play with pets to avoid scratching your hands/legs and other body parts!


Following these recommendations, you will be satisfied with the result.
