What to Know Before Your Pop-Up Studio Session

To ensure that you have a successful and enjoyable experience, we have put together this guide to help you prepare and keep the schedule running smoothly.

Arrival Time

  • Please arrive 5 minutes ahead of your allocated time slot. Arriving punctually will ensure the smooth running of the schedule and allow us to provide you with the best experience

  • As sessions are in high demand, late arrivals may result in forfeiting your slot, and unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate you at a later time.

Wardrobe Selection

  • Choose clothing that reflects your personal style and flatters your complexion while keeping it professional.

  • When choosing your outfit, opt for solid colours and steer clear of logos, busy patterns, or bold prints, as these can draw attention away from your face.
    If you'd like to wear a print, choose one that is small and low in contrast, as it tends to be less distracting on camera. We also recommend avoiding all-white clothing given the backdrop will be white.

  • Clothes should be clean and ironed. If you wear glasses, make sure they are clean and in good condition.

  • If you are someone who wears makeup, consider using a matte foundation or powder to reduce shine

Posing and Expressing

  • Relax and be yourself during the session. We will guide you through various poses and expressions to capture your best look.

  • Feel free to communicate any preferences or concerns during the shoot.
