Tips for Getting Excellent Headshot Prints

Headshots for Models & ModelingNo one wants a headshot that looks mediocre.

At HeadShots2Go, we know how to make a good print. Printing is the last part of a well planned project and there are steps that you can take to make sure that your finished product is the best it can be. A great Chef would never use anything less than the finest ingredients to create a memorable dining experience. In the same way there are “ingredients” necessary to getting excellent headshot print reproductions.

Photography
Of all the spectacular headshots we have printed, there is one thing common to them all, and that is good photography. We can not stress that point far enough. It does not matter how pretty you are, or how good your look was in that image, or your choice of clothing and hair or how good the composition is; if the photography is not good, you will end up with mediocre prints. Remember, your image is your business.

Choose a photographer who can capture your image with the proper Exposure and White balance.

If you get back images that are not even close to your skin color (orange / yellow / red), the photographer has not properly set his camera’s white balance for that session.

If you get back images that are blown out (the lighter areas are gone to almost white); your images have been over-exposed and probably can NOT be fixed.

Headshots2Go is not liable to re-print orders that use sub-standard photography. We will correct your files to the best of our ability, but the responsibility lies with you and your photographer. You are responsible to provide a good quality image.

Retouching
HeadShots2Go will make every effort to follow your instructions and produce the most natural looking, excellent reproduction. We know that your image is your business.

Retouching serves as a simple addition to good photography, not a substitute. Normal retouching could entail some smoothing under eyes, removing blemishes, whiten teeth or eyes, removing shine, minor stray hairs, etc.

Excessive photo editing usually results with a not-so-natural-look.
