Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear for my headshot? +
Wear something you feel confident and comfortable in—ideally clothes that reflect your usual style and professional image. Solid colours or subtle patterns work best. Avoid large logos or neon colours. Bringing 2–3 outfits is ideal.
How should I prepare for the session? +
Get a good night’s sleep, stay hydrated, and avoid major last-minute changes to hair or makeup. Bring lip balm or moisturiser if you use them. Props connected with your work are welcome too.
Do you offer retouching and editing? +
Yes — all final images are colour-graded and professionally retouched. We refine skin tone, lighting and minor blemishes while keeping everything natural and true to you.
What’s included with a headshot session, and how many photos will I receive? +
You’ll receive a private online gallery within 24 hours. Your session includes a set number of fully retouched images, with the option to purchase additional photos or upgrade to the full edited set.
Can I bring multiple outfits or change looks during the shoot? +
Absolutely — bringing several outfits is encouraged so you can capture different moods (corporate, casual, creative).
Where can we shoot — studio or on-location? +
We can shoot in the Heads Up Photos studio or at a chosen location such as your office or creative workspace. Let us know beforehand so we can plan the lighting and setup.
How soon will I receive my headshots? +
Your colour-graded gallery will be ready within 48 hours. Final retouched images take 5–7 business days after you choose your favourites. Rush delivery may be available on request.
Can I use the headshots for social media, LinkedIn or print? +
Yes — you'll receive high-resolution images suitable for print and web-optimised versions for social media and websites.
What kinds of clients do you work with? +
We work with actors, models, corporate clients, creatives, business owners, and anyone wanting professional portraits that elevate their brand.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule? +
We ask for 24 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel. Cancellations within 24 hours may incur a small fee.
