Some people recommend dressing in solid colors, while others say to avoid wearing busy patterns. It's ultimately up to you what to wear, but make sure it flatters your features and represents your personal style. For men, a collared shirt and tie is always a safe choice, while women can wear anything from a business suit to a dress or skirt.
Again, this is up to you, but most photographers will recommend either styling your hair in its natural state or going for a simple, neat look. If you have bangs, you may want to pin them back so they don't obstruct your face.
Most people prefer to stand for their headshots, but sitting can be a good option if you're uncomfortable posing standing up or if you have a lot of wrinkles or scars on your neck that you'd rather not show. When standing, try to relax and keep your shoulders down; don't hunch over or put your hands in your pockets. For seated shots, make sure your back is straight and rest your hands on your thighs.
Since each headshot is tailored specifically to the individual, the shooting process usually takes around 30 minutes. However, the total turnaround time from shoot to delivery may be a few days depending on how busy the photographer is at the time of booking.
