Headshot Ready: 5 Simple Tips

• Wear solid colors. Choose a clean shirt in a bright or medium color. Skip patterns, words, pictures, sparkles, and large logos.

• Make sure clothes fit well. Do not wear anything too tight, too loose, or wrinkled. Simple layers, like a jacket over a shirt, can work well.

• Dress for the roles you want. Bring a few choices that show different sides of you. Kids should wear clothes that match their real age and personality.

• Keep makeup natural. Adults can wear light makeup that looks like their normal face. Kids usually only need lip balm and a little powder for shine.

• Keep hair and extras simple. Wear your hair in a normal style. Skip large jewelry and anything that pulls attention away from your face. If you wear glasses, take photos with and without them.
