How to Prepare Skin for a Photoshoot

Portrait and fashion/glamour photographer commonly face a model with the fault in the eyebrows, body hair or tan lines. Although these can be fixed in post-production on Adobe Photoshop they are better to be solved beforehand. Removing hair in Photoshop because may result in a lower resolution image with lower PPI. With the increasing quality of the display, it is too much risk not to work on the skin & hair beforehand. Perfect skin with a great physique, in reality, is rare. Most of the humans look great at certain angles and various gross defects which includes double chin, belly fat appears in other angles. A lady’s eyelashes may look beautiful in the real world but in-front of the camera may not give that effect.

Timing Matters

Facials and spa are part of skincare. Facials and spa are relaxing, but always make sure their schedules at least a week before the photo session (which includes pre-wedding). One week should be enough time for any redness to go away. As for the eyebrows, they need to be a few days before. Waxing or plucking eyebrows far before create a growing grass-like effect on camera! As because the hairs imparts shadows too, post-production on Adobe Photoshop makes tired.

If a photoshoot involves exposure of teeth then are also a part to care. Many kinds of stuff for whitening the teeth are available at the medical stores, additionally, the dentists can help to manage the shape or more defects. Lipsticks can make a set of pearly white teeth to look a bit yellowish. Drink plenty of water and take the vitamin-mineral supplements. Use a gentle skin cleanser. Creamy cleansers remove away all the creams & makeup. Get a haircut in the week to prepare the hair for the photo shoot. The above tips are usable by both genders for face, arms, hair. I will suggest the non-professional females not to think too much about body fat more than of belly and face. Boudoir photography itself a niche where a thin body is not the exact need.

What is About the Surgical Scars?

Most of the skilled surgeons (orthopaedics, obstetrics) of today close the skin with sub-cuticular suture in case of planned surgeries to leave the least scar mark. I have answered on Quora “How do I remove cut marks made by blade in hand?”, which may help you. Needless to say, there are dedicated makeup stuff to cover up. This thing is better to discuss with a beautician. You should discuss with your surgeon before the planned surgery about the scar. We can do little with the emergency surgeries – stitches for a dangerous accident will be mattress suture which will leave marks. Plastic surgeons are the last ways for decreasing surgical scars.
