Friday's Tip: How to Prepare for a Taylor-Made Photography Shoot



Taylor-Made Photography are all about ensuring that our clients get a product that they are happy with and proud to hang up on their wall. Which is why we are doing a short series on how to prepare for your portrait session or Wedding shoot with Taylor-Made Photography. Today's useful tip when being photographed is Hair...


Hair

Hair can be a disaster in a photograph. This doubles in outdoor shoots (triples if there is a breeze.) For people with longer hair, make sure you have options for the photo shoot. If it’s extremely windy outside, a simple ponytail can keep the hair from flying in your face or looking like you’re stuck in a tornado.

Simple is always elegant. 
If you want to up the class a bit, add a few curls to longer hair. If you’re using product, make sure it’s not too thick, in photographs it can make the hair look like a solid dark mass.

Have a brush handy. When you change positions or settings, give your hair a once over. If you take it down out of a pony tail, make sure you give it a thorough brushing so you can’t see where the elastic was holding your back.



Ann is a great example of how neat and tidy hair improves the quality of a shoot.
