How to Prepare for your Photos

SMILE . . It’s Photo Time !

WHAT TO WEAR

DO NOT WEARING ANY WHITE CLOTHING OR WHITE SHOES !

We can’t stress this enough not to wear white or light coloured clothing.

As the background is white, if you wear any white or light colours, it will appear you are a floating head or missing your feet. But most importantly if the photo editors need to do additional editing because you have worn white or light coloured clothing, there not only will be a delay in receiving your profiles, but you could occur additional editing charges.

Smart Casual – Wear something that you feel great in 🙂

We recommend to wear something nice as if you are going out somewhere special for lunch with friends.

Only one (1) outfit is required. So make yourself feel and look great..
Only wear clothing that you feel fantastic in.

Please avoiding wearing something that you don’t feel comfortable in, as it generally shows on camera.

Choose colours that people say ‘WOW, that colour suits you!’

DO NOT WEAR ANY WHITE OR LIGHT COLOURED SHOES
 
  • NO WHITE OR LIGHT SOLE SHOES
  • NO WHITE OR LIGHT SHOE LACES
  • NO WHITE OR LIGHT JEWELLERY
  • NO LIGHT COLOURED CLOTHING SUCH AS;
    • NO WHITE CLOTHING
    • NO LIGHT PINK OR BLUE OR OTHER LIGHT COLOURS
 

Ideally wear an outfit that the Casting Director and wardrobe department can see your figure. Please avoid flowy or very loose clothing

As you will be photographed against a white background, if you wear white, you could look like a floating head.

Please note:
If you have any tattoos on your arms or legs please wear t-shirt and shorts or appropriate clothing so we are able to photograph the tattoos easily on the day.

DO NOT WEAR ANY JACKETS OR LOOSE JUMPERS
