Most people dread headshots. The good news is that a few small things, most of them before you even arrive, take the stress out of it.
Sleep, water and a fresh haircut
A good night's sleep shows. Drink water the day before and get any haircut a week ahead so it has time to settle. Matte moisturiser beats heavy make-up for most people.
Bring options
Bring two or three tops in plain, mid-tone colours that suit your industry. Avoid thin stripes, which can shimmer on screen, and check your collar sits flat.
Let us talk you through it
A good photographer will chat, prompt and adjust you in tiny ways: chin forward, weight on the back foot, think of someone you like. You'll see the results live on screen and pick the one that feels most like you.
