One of the most common mistakes for Headshots.

On of the most common mistakes for actors coming to my studio to have there headshots taken is wardrobe selection.  The main thing is you want to your top to be part of the frame to your face. You need to bring tops that look good on you, that don’t look worn out, and that have a flattering color.  These are just the basics and should be very easy, but I see countless actors bring ugly, worn out, junk as their wardrobe for the shoot.  I think in the past year I’ve had ONE person bring perfect clothes for their shoot.  Everyone else brings OK stuff that I can work with, but they could have done better.  Basic rules: No white, No logos, New looking nice clothes, Casual clothes, No tank tops (I’ve had girls bring just 2 tank tops as their complete wardrobe selection for their shoot.  A tank top does not frame your face.  It’s just 2 thin straps on your shoulders, not much of a frame) No Low cut tops (once again you need to frame your face).  Your headshots should be very important and your wardrobe preparation is your first step it having beautiful headshots.
