PREPARING FOR YOUR ALUMNI AWARD PORTRAIT
The portraits will look like this…
The portraits will be used like this…
CLOTHNG
Keep it simple. Bring a couple options if you'd like. I have a place you can hang things up, and change in privacy.
When you're picking out clothing options to bring, consider how they look from the chest up.
We are shooting on a dark green background.
I suggest mid-dark clothing, however, the most important thing for me is that you like it, so bring a couple of your best options and we’ll see what we like most together. Above all, trust yourself and go with your gut.
Try to bring:
BLOCK A SWEATER (if required)
Clothes you love
Solid colour
Patterns/Textures can work
Layering with a sweater or jacket can work
(please try to have clothes ironed and camera ready)
MAKEUP
If you wear makeup on a daily basis, here’s some useful tips. If you don’t, makeup is not necessary for the shoot. Retouching can help with temporary imperfections.
Again, Keep it simple.
If you are unsure how much to add for this photo, the best idea is to come with the minimal amount and we can add if we think it’s necessary after reviewing it on the monitors.
SELECTING
We will review all the images together as we go. This way I can show you why I’m asking you to position the way I am and more importantly, you’ll have final say in the which photograph is selected and used.
Any questions, if I missed something you think is important please contact me.
