Keep it simple. For actors and performers, a V neckline generally works best. Bring a combination of light and dark tops, and avoid patterns, logos, and stripes.
For corporate headshots, smart professional clothing in solid colours works well. Bring a few options so there's variety across setups.

Sessions range from approximately 1 hour (Bronze package) to 2.5–3 hours (Gold package). During the session, there are multiple setups using different lighting, mood, and backgrounds. Images are reviewed throughout to make sure you're getting the headshots you want.

After the session, your strongest headshots are personally curated and uploaded to your own private online gallery for you to view, share, and shortlist. Once you've made your selections, your chosen headshots are retouched, cropped for final use and Spotlight, and emailed to you in high resolution. All images are securely archived on the cloud, so you can order additional retouched headshots at any time in the future.
