Be picture-perfect for your photo shoot.
Whether you are putting your modeling portfolio together or are getting ready to have your wedding photos taken, preparing for your photo shoot is a vital step in making your experience a success. When you arrive at the studio, bring as many clothing options as possible and arrive without any make-up on your face. Your make-up artist will assist you in applying a photo-ready look with an even finish. Additionally, arrive at the studio 15 minutes early to prepare and get acquainted with the staff.
Instructions
1. Exercise in the weeks leading up to your photo shoot. Ensuring that your body looks its best will help give you confidence on the big day. Target lax muscles and increase your aerobic exercises to burn more calories.
2.4. Take care of your skin. Exfoliate at least once a week and on the morning of the photo shoot. Moisturize daily to banish dry, flaky skin.
3. Get lots of sleep. This will prevent bags under the eyes and a sluggish appearance. You want to appear refreshed and glowing on the day of your shoot, and additional sleep can help you achieve this.
Stay hydrated and eat well on the days leading up to the photo shoot. Drink lots of water and avoid red meat, alcohol, spicy foods and salt. These ingredients can cause the skin to inflame or redden. Consuming salt, in particular, can lead to water retention in the skin and the added iodine can encourage breakouts. Do not try any new products in the days leading up to the shoot, as unexpected breakouts may occur. If you have a blemish on the morning of the photo shoot, do not squeeze it. This will only lead to unnecessary redness and swelling. Instead, let the makeup artist know and she will cover it for you.
5. Give yourself a manicure. Chipped and bedraggled nails will stick out in photos, particularly if your hands are anywhere near your face. Give yourself a smooth coat of varnish and seal it with a topcoat to prevent peeling and paint chipping.
6. Primp your hair. If you dye your hair, give yourself a root touch up a week before the photo shoot. Studio cameras can draw a lot of attention to unattended roots, so color your hair evenly. Additionally, have a deep conditioning treatment to banish frizz and have dry and split ends trimmed.
