How to Prepare for Character Shots

Character Shots are 3×5 photographs that allow our students to keep their performance memories alive for years to come.

Below are important guidelines to prepare for the best possible shot.

Hair & Makeup:

Wear your makeup and hair just like the Director told you to wear it for the performance.

Basic Stage Makeup Guidelines can be found here.

Costume:

If you wear more than one costume in the performance, wear your favorite costume for your character shot.

Don’t forget your shoes!

Pose:

Know what pose you want to do before it’s your turn to get your picture taken.

Think about how your character would pose.

If you have a prop that you will be holding in the performance, ask your director if you can hold it when your photo is taken.
