STUDIO HEADSHOTS
The way you visually present yourself is a critical component of your online identity. For people who don’t know you, it’s your best chance to make a strong impression. For established relationships, it’s a powerful way to reconnect and stay current.
FAQ:
What should I wear for my headshot?
Before your session, we send out a preparation guide to help you navigate clothing options. What you wear is key to achieving those different looks, so take the time to carefully consider wardrobe options.
Do you work with a makeup artist?
Yes, we work with a highly skilled industry professional (also great with hair) and she is on set for the duration of the shoot. You are also free to book a makeup artist of your choosing. For women especially, we find that this is well worth the investment. Please allow a week in advance so that we can get the talent we trust for your session.
Who’s on the team?
In addition to working with a seasoned photographer, your session will include an art director/clothing coordinator.
Do you shoot tethered?
Yes, we shoot directly to computer and usually go through the images and quickly rate them, making sure we have captured that look before moving on.
What about retouching?
Once you’ve made your selects, we will send the retouched high-resolution master files, colour-corrected, and ready for online posting or printing. (note: retouching up to one hour per image) Any extra advanced retouching (if necessary) will be billed at an hourly rate.
When do I get to see the results?
Normally, two days after your session, we will send you a web gallery of all the short listed images.
What if I have to cancel?
We understand that occasionally things can come up and it may be necessary to postpone. If so, please let us know ASAP and we will reschedule.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, we require a deposit of $100.00 in advance to hold the date for you.
Are there any restrictions on usage?
You are free to use the images for all of your promotional, social media, and personal needs. For any paid third-party use that you approve, please have the publication, etc. contact us directly and we will provide the image that they require. All other rights reserved. Hill Peppard Photography retains the copyright to the images.
