How to Prepare for Professional Headshots in Sydney (Norwest & Hills District)

Shekhar Jay April 8, 2026 5 min read

Your professional headshot is often the first impression a client, recruiter or collaborator has of you. A little preparation goes a long way. Here's how to get ready for a corporate headshot session in Norwest, Bella Vista, Castle Hill or anywhere across the Hills District.

Wardrobe

Bring 2–3 options in solid, mid-tone colours. Avoid busy patterns and bright white. Iron everything the night before.

Grooming

Haircuts 1–2 weeks ahead, not the day before. Light, matte makeup photographs best.

Posing

You don't need to know how to pose — I guide every shot. Practising a relaxed, genuine smile in the mirror still helps.

On the day

Arrive 10 minutes early, drink water, and bring any wardrobe changes on hangers. Sessions usually take 30–60 minutes per person.
