Frequently Asked Questions about Headshots
We will email you with a copy of your headshot within 10 business days after the shoot.
For better headshot, dress in layers with colors that contrast with each other (i.e.: Black and White). Avoid clothing with gray color, or two pieces of clothing that are the same color (i.e: Black shirt with Black Tie). Make sure your clothes are wrinkle free and lint free for better viewing experience. The studio does not provide lint roller, or irons.
If you are unsatisfied with your outfit after the headshot, you will need to reschedule for another shoot.
