Did I miss anything? What questions do you have about wardrobe for your photoshoot?

[@user-oq5jo8wy2o]

Finally a TH-cam video that doesn't try to sell me something, just sharing knowledge. Kind of refreshing!

[@scottlawrencephoto]

I appreciate that!

[@sergbelo]

I'm glad you broke down colors and patterns, which I feel like are super important to talk about!

[@scottlawrencephoto]

Glad you found that helpful.

[@GeoffreySetiawan]

Thanks for the great tips, as always!

[@franciscoyt4159]

Looking good and landing jobs, thanks for the helpful advice! My grandkids will be so impressed with my new headshots.

[@pkoeniger]

Thank you. Great info, great style.

[@CelAmade]

Thanks for the awesome tips. Just had a headshot done last week and picking my top was a fun exercise.

[@ericasmith4031]

Great tips! I need a new headshot!

[@ortallevitan1]

YOUR TIPS are the best! thanks so much for sharing your genius Scott

[@scottlawrencephoto]

My pleasure!

[@NissySlim]

Great points Scott! I'm try to stick to solid colours that generally compliment me. It is tempting to go shopping when new headshots are due!

[@scottlawrencephoto]

Glad you enjoyed the video. It's very tempting to go shopping, but usually not necessary.

[@CalebAdams]

Great advice, thanks!

[@scottlawrencephoto]

Glad it was helpful!

[@EmbracingHarvest]

I need a new headshot. These are good recommendations that I can think about. :)

[@scottlawrencephoto]

Let me know if other questions come to mind. I've got a list of topics for future videos, but can always use more!

[@ei256]

These videos are amazing. Although I would prefer a demo playing in the background at the same time, with your voice over.

[@larbueno]

Not me. Voice is all we need without the often-distracting music.

[@brendaguerra71]

What is a great lens for headshot photos? I have a Nikon 7200 camera. What color would you do for background?

[@scottlawrencephoto]

Something in the 50 to 85 mm range should be good. Or 70-300.

[@brendaguerra71]

Thank you 😊

[@reenott]

What about earrings? Should they be limited to studs and pearls to not distract or are drops ok?

[@scottlawrencephoto]

I usually recommend simple studs or pearls. Big earrings can be distracting. Only exception would be if the look is part of your brand.

[@edot913]

What do you do to reduce glasses glare?

[@scottlawrencephoto]

It’s of trial and error as each lens can behave differently. Ideally though you want to find an angle to light from that doesn’t catch a reflection or is minimal.

[@zionflippin5902]

What particular colors and tops do you suggest to wear? A black tank top? A black t-shirt? Do you suggest a natural no make up look or minimum make up?

[@scottlawrencephoto]

Blue and black are always pretty good bets. It can depend on your skin tone as well. Makeup is generally recommended as it really adds a nice polish to the look. And my makeup artists do a great job of making it look like you don't have a bunch of makeup on.

[@zionflippin5902]

@@scottlawrencephoto Thank you so much for responding back, your help, your time, and information.

[@karenjensen2616]

I am a cast member for our local theater company. We are having headshots taken next week. My body style is plush (curvy) 72 years old and sporting my silver hair.
I have no idea what to wear. They have asked us not to wear black or white ( which I look good in). I look good for my age with minimal wrinkles and lines. My eyes are blue/green. Help!

[@scottlawrencephoto]

I would try a solid blue or green then. Good luck!

[@mgh4090]

I regret my first headshot so much😂
I looked back at it and was like 😖

[@scottlawrencephoto]

Sorry to hear that, I'm sure your next session will be better!

[@RachelSmets]

Hey Scott, I do headshots ALL THE TIME. Good to know I'm actually doing what you recommend, even before watching your video. Good confirmation.
Will you make a video on how to reduce the wrinkles or just look brilliant with lighting? I am often outside too when I make my videos in many different locations.
Thanks
