Thanks for your booking! We are excited to meet and photograph you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out or look at the HEADSHOT page on the www.audia.net website under signup or we've added info to from the page to help you be your best, below.
TIPS FOR CLOTHING
- WOMEN: Wear solid clothing or if you do wear a pattern limit it to muted darker tones. Designs in clothing have a tendency to quickly be dated and distract from the most important part of the portrait, your beautiful face. It is also helpful and sliming that women NOT wear sleeveless tops.
- MAKEUP: We strongly suggest you use our experienced makeup artist. Nancy Vela has the knowledge and talent to apply makeup in our lighting environment. However, if you feel like you want to forge on your own the general rule on makeup is to wear it as if you are going out to an evening dress event. If you feel it’s a little too much, it is generally good with the lighting I use. False eyelashes are a great enhancement, too and are available to purchase before the session. Check out Nancy's bio and website here https://nancyvela.com/about-me/
- HAIR: It's a very personal thing. So we like you to come with it the way you like and we can arrange, adjust, spray and touchup until you are happy! If you want the REAL deal, Nancy is awesome with hair, too. Styling, ironing, backcombing and spray! ADD $20 for the REAL deal on hair. Dudes get a free hair touchup with MAKEUP add, too.
- JEWELRY: Bring a few things you like and look good with your outfit to have options.
- MEN: If you need a corporate look, jacket and/or tie, solid color shirts, i.e. light blue, beige, black, etc. Pure white would be the last option. If there is a pattern, please limit to a light pattern. I heard paisley is making a comeback but it will be outdated as soon as you leave! Complementary colored ties, plain or mild patterns are also good. Save the Jerry Garcia tie for the after-party unless it's really cool.
- CREATIVES/ACTORS Be fun, think of how your photo will be seen and what it will say. Clothing helps sell the shot but should not be the hero. Bring your personality! Sweaters, shirt, darker colors, (again if you want your photos to last longer, solid or mild darker patterns) Or wear something you feel very comfortable in. If you've been pumping iron and want to show the guns, cover them and we'll save it for another shoot!
- BACKGROUNDS: BLACK, WHITE, GREY, are considered most universal with longevity, however, if you are a color person we can accommodate. Discussion and notification at time of booking is required. Natural light is pretty awesome in our studio, too, without going outside! Something we can talk about at your session. If you want outdoors or a locaiotn, it's a different animal and price. Call for details. If you bring Sasquatch/Big Foot/dog/cat/snakes, it's extra.
- MOST IMPORTANT: HAVE FUN, RELAX and we will get GREAT images!
