On a busy set, small habits add up to a big difference in your images. Staying camera-ready throughout a long day is a professional skill in itself. Here are ten ways to keep yourself looking your best from the first frame to the last.
Before the shoot
- Get a full night’s sleep – it shows in your skin and eyes
- Hydrate well in the days beforehand
- Arrive with clean skin and hair unless told otherwise
- Eat something light so your energy lasts
On set
- Keep your posture switched on, even between shots
- Reset your expression – relax your face, then re-engage
- Protect your hair and makeup during breaks
- Sip water and take blotting papers to manage shine
- Watch your eyeline and keep genuine energy in your eyes
- Stay warm and loose so your body language stays natural
The mindset
Camera-ready is as much attitude as appearance. Staying positive, focused and easy to direct through a long day is what clients remember – and what earns the next booking.
