PHOTOGRAPHY
Where are you
located?

in a commercial retail plaza with free parking in the heart of Hollywood - only two short blocks further west from the Kodak and Grauman's Chinese Theater (on the same side of the street) and the Highland Metro Station. Our address is 7095 Hollywood Blvd, Suite 201 on the second floor.
What are your studio hours?
Monday ? Friday 2pm ? 6pm. Later hours and weekends may be available upon request.
Where can I park?
We have FREE parking spaces for our customers right in
front of the studio. The lot may sometimes be full because of the other stores in our
plaza, but be patient! People come and go all the time. If you pull in and
there in no parking spaces available - just wait for a few moments until something opens up.
What forms of payment
do you accept?
At the end of your session you will receive a
final product, prints, and CD. Due to the high rate of bad checks and
fraudulent credit cards, we will not accept these forms of payments. We only accept cash payments. There is a
Bank of America ATM located across the street form the studio if needed for your convenience.

hours in advance, please let us know if you wish to have one for your headshot
session.
What color of clothes
should I bring to my headshot session?
Color plays a big role in great headshots. Keep colors from getting too close
to your natural skin tone.
White and light pastel colors do not photograph well. Steer
clear of loud prints and logos.
Great colors are earth tone colors; blues, greens, charcoal
grays, browns, burgundy, etc. A color that would highlight your eyes is best. Bring
more clothes then you think you will need because one color may photograph
better than the other.
What kind of clothes
should I bring to my headshot session?
Pick out clothes that compliment you. You don't want to wear
any logos or colors that don't suit you or your skin tones.
For Men: Collared shirts with solid earth tone colors. Since
we shoot a minimum of three looks in a photoshoot you could mix it up a little
with a plain T-Shirt and dress coat.
For Women:
Bring an assorted selection of necklines
? oval, round or V-neck tops work the best.
*Note: Headshots are generally taken from your neckline up -
unless your agency states otherwise, no need to worry about your bottom half.
Wear something that you will be comfortable sitting in.
What should I do
about grooming?
For Men: Some guys like to have an unshaven as well as a
clean cut look. Feel free to bring
your shaving supplies and shave in the middle of your session.
For Women: Wear
your hair as you normally do. Feel
bring any supplies to change your style in the middle of your shoot. Curling
Irons, Flat Irons, hair spray, gel, hair ties, etc.
How long does a
typical headshot photo shoot take?
These photos can change your life. Please leave plenty of time for your shoot.
Most sessions take about an hour and a half to two hours from start to finish.
What should I do
before my shoot?
Flush Away Those Toxins! DRINK WATER!! It will help clear
your skin and give it that healthy glow. Reducing consumption of coffee, teas
and sodas will give your teeth a break from stains and discoloration too!
Rest!!! Be sure to get enough beauty sleep the night before.
Skip the bars. Save the partying for after the session to
celebrate you kicking butt during your photo session.
