Making the best of salon photos

We know through the power of social media that a great photo can make a huge difference in catching someone’s eye! When it comes to photography for your salon website, and different social media outlets, learning the basics and investing in proper tools can take your photos to the next level!

I enjoy taking photos of guest’s hair at the salon, partly because it gives me a different perspective on how their hair looks (the camera does not lie) and it’s another fun creative outlet! Below are some simple tips on improving your photography skills.

    1. Lighting! So important! If you don’t have natural sunlight to work with, a ring light is the next best option. 

    2. Use a clean and consistent background. You also want to consider color of background, it can make hair color appear different. 

    3. Do a makeup touch up and blot any shine off of the guests face.

    4. Help your guest feel comfortable in front of the camera. Take a couple of fun shots first and give them a little direction on how to stand and pose.

    5. Physically take a step back and zoom in slightly with your lens.

    6. Everybody is different, so take lots of different angles to find the ones that flatter your guest.
