âś… 2. Practice Natural Expressions
Digitals are about YOU—no heavy makeup, no retouching. Practice neutral, smiling, and profile looks in the mirror. Think “clean and confident.”
âś… 3. Bring Simple, Fitted Outfits
We recommend:
Skinny jeans & fitted T-shirt or tank
Swimsuit or bodysuit (optional, depending on agency needs)
Neutral colors (black, white, denim, beige)
âś… 4. Keep Hair & Makeup Minimal
Go fresh-faced. Clean skin, neat brows, moisturized lips, and natural hair. Agencies want to see your real features.
âś… 5. Hydrate & Sleep the Night Before
Great skin and bright eyes make a major difference on camera. Hydrate, sleep well, and avoid alcohol before your shoot.
