What to wear.
1. Mid tones: Avoid plain black or
white colors because they may cause lighting trouble. This may result in
contrast problems with finished prints, although a professional
photographer should be able to work with these extremities of contrast.
Try to wear colors closer to your skin tone. This will help accentuate
your natural features.
2. Neckline: Is your neck short or long? A V-neck lengthens the neck; a
round neckline shortens it. A collar frames the face well, without
decreasing the length of your neck. A collared shirt with a V-neck or a
few buttons undone is most popular.
Turtlenecks completely hide the neck, which is very unflattering and
should be avoided.
3. Subdued/No Patterns: Avoid bold colors and crazy patterns (i.e., like
Mr. T's chain, a huge Charlie Brown stripe). They will present a
distraction.
4. Glasses: If you wear glasses, go with frames only, no lenses; lenses
can cause a glare or reflect the flash, ruining a perfectly good shot.
5. Personal: Wear something that makes you feel great and relaxed.
6. Jeans: Jeans can be a bit too casual. Bring nice looking jeans
and an attractive shirt and they should compliment each other.
7. No Leather.
8. No Logos: Okay. Listen carefully: NO
WRITING ON YOUR SHIRT OR LOGOS. That goes for auditions as well.
10. Limited Jewelry: Avoid distracting accessories, such as large, shiny
jewelry. If you have a pierced ear, wear studs or small hoops. No matter
how much you love your gold necklace, remember it will take the focus away
from your face.
Make Up! Look Your Best!
1. Base: Use a good quality base that covers your skin
without caking. You want your natural skin tones to show.
2. Skin Features: Do not hide your skin's personality! Flaunt your
freckles. They are part of what makes you unique. Unusual features make
others sit up and take notice. Of course, if on the day of the shoot you
are sporting a monstrous zit, use some make-up. But generally, unique
attractive features are an asset. Who would ever want to say good-bye to
Harrison Ford's chin scar?
3. Color and B/W Photos. I shoot digital and color but no need to
worry. I can easily convert to black and white.
4. Eyeliner: Soft, applied sparingly with a brush, using very little on
the lower lid.
5. Straight Hair: You want to frame your face, so if your hair is very
straight and long, give it some body to accentuate your face.
6.For Men Only: A light coat of powder will help even out your skin tones.
Otherwise, use make-up very sparingly.
7. Pimples, Etc: Life is full of little imperfections. Use makeup to even
it out.
If it still shows, don't panic. You will be amazed what retouching can do
to a photo.
8. Dark Beards: Dark beards usually are accentuated in photos, so some men
may want to use a little cream base to slightly lighten their beards.
9. Haircut: Don't cut your hair the day before your shoot! It will look
like you just got a haircut. Give your hair at least a week after a cut to
relax.
Here are ways to enhance the
senses so that your photo will flatter you
1. Provide music that makes you happy,
relaxes you, and makes you feel more at home.
2. Bring several changes of clothes, and do not be afraid to use them.
3. Eat well. Stay energized. Bring something to drink while you are
shooting (and I don't mean beer).
4. Scents tap right into the animal part of your brain. They can help get
you in the right mood. If you have a perfume/cologne that makes you feel
like a million bucks, or a scented candle that puts your mind at ease, by
all means bring it.
5. Bring a close friend who helps you relax and feel at ease with
yourself.
You
must have an organized portfolio or comp card that includes
professional photos. Your photos must include several headshots and
different poses in various fashions or characters. A small runway
show in your local mall or a small role in an independent film may
lead to bigger and better jobs. The key is to always look your
best and show a diversified portfolio.
If you have a Talent Agent they should be able to help with this.
All actors and models and actors must mail out a professional
portfolio package (comp card, headshot, ZED card) to casting
directors and agencies.
Use different photographers.
Putting together a portfolio is an absolute MUST for every
aspiring actor/model! The portfolio should include a number of
photos and a resume. Comp Cards or ZED cards are popular types of
modeling portfolios, and usually contain 4-7 body poses.
Your resume must include your current contact information, your
height, size, weight, measurements, previous training and recent
work. Professionals hire based on your exposure and experience.
