TIPS FOR ENTRANTS

Storyboard your concept. Sketch, or cut pictures from a magazine that define the look you want for the hairstyle, haircolor, makeup and wardrobe.
Use a professional model. If you do not use a professional model, use someone with model-like facial features.
Use a professional makeup artist. Your model's skin should be flawless.
Use a professional photographer. If you do not use a professional photographer, work with someone who has experience photographing people.
Photograph your model in a professional setting, such as a photo studio or a portrait studio. If photographing outdoors, your model, and not the background, should be the focal point.
