behind the scenes before and after

  1. All pictures should be taken against an uncluttered solid white – or light colored background.
  2. Use proper lighting and flash when needed.
  3. If you are using a smartphone in a well-lit area, use THE HDR setting.
  4. Capture Front, Back & Profile angles.
  5. Ensure the model is not wearing a smock or cape, but wearing the same outfit in before and after sessions.
  6. Allow enough negative space for photo cropping, collage pics, and social media outlets, etc. You want even side by sides.
  7. When creating a collage, start with before photos on the left and work right.
  8. Before pictures: Show off everything you will be changing ex: layers, unevenness, tapered ends.
  9. After pictures: Show off everything you have just enhanced, ex: Volume, Thickness, length, new style.
