✨ HAIR PHOTO TIPS + TRICKS ✨

The tip about using your hand to direct your client where to look is genius. I used to do it for makeup applications but never thought to use it in photography!

This is super helpful. I’m just feeling super hopeless with my insta portfolio because of lighting and the clients I’ve been getting. First, I live in Minnesota. So it’s dark and cloudy almost everyday during the winter. It really starts getting dark around 4. But during the day time, it’s looks like London. drab and gray. So mostly I have to use a ring light. The ring light absolutely sucks. With and without the flash. ALSO during the winter, we get lots of clients who want to get in and want to get out. No styling, just blow dry quickly. Obviously, if you’re a good hair colorist you don’t need to curl the hair. I remember my instructors telling me “people curl the hair to compensate for shotty coloring technique” which I sometimes agree with. But I really want some quality photos for ONCE, and it seems like that just won’t happen till the spring/summer time. Instead, I’ve been having to take videos of them in my chair and just hope that works out well.
Jamie, I love your videos. You're a great educator and I appreciate you!
So many great tips!! Thank you for another fantastic video!

Thank you for all your tips! I do need to invest in a ring light. The salon I work in has good natural light towards the front, but it would be better to have one.

Beccastyles 06_11 do whatever you can to avoid a ring light! She talked about this is the video and she is so right! Natural light is best! I would take literally a day testing out photo spots in and around the salon! And find your favorites! That way at any time of day you have a go to area to bring your clients and don’t have to be frustrated trying to find light at the last minute ❤️

@@LaurenFrancesHair yes, I agree and I do use our natural light whenever possible. When I work in the evenings is when I will have to use the ring light. I should've clarified that.
hello jamie , thanks for the tip , just have a question which wedsite you bought your ring light ?

Is it possible to take a mirror selfie of new hair yourself showing the back of the hair?
Can you post a link to the ring light you are using, I’m having a hard time picking out the best one!
Could I use a ring light that attaches to my phone. I don’t space in the salon to leave up Ring Light
I use an old fashion camera. Do you have any tips for camera settings?
you say the camera that you use for your photos. but i want to know if that’s the same that you used for the whole video?
Hi Jamie, great video... love all the hair photo tips. Heads up the link that goes to your course is broken because of the '!" on the end.
When I do hair up at my mums I use her wall paper and a ring light the quality of light at my mums house is terrible and this is the best solution. I used to put a white bed sheet on my door in my flat to create a plain background. I take a mini ring light and put on my phone so to take that out with me and that works great. I did have a Samsung s9+ but had so many issues with it I ended swapping it with the apple XR it’s a great phone takes good photos it’s just it can’t do portrait on hair I’m hoping they will do it on a update soon. I agree invest in the best camera that’s what I did. your tips for a ring light I do that. Great tips

eyelightangel when you don’t have a clean background, the best is to create depth of field or “blurry background” you can make the perfect background everywhere ❤️
Literally what I needed! Nothing worse than loving the style and the pics are awful!

Did you get that ring light from amazon?

Additionally, one should always ask before touching a client as well. This keep them feeling heard and safe with their stylist. ✨
I’m a barber/stylist and the other day I asked this kid (14-16year old) if I could take pictures and I did. His mom ended up calling the shop angry saying that he was under age and shouldn’t of done that.🤣🤨 I forgot to take my after pictures and was running alittle late.

The problem i have is that I’m so short so most of clients are bigger than me so I end up cutting off their head or I get in an uncomfortable position 😫

Invest into a small stool like the ones you sit in while cutting! I’m really short too and I can get better angles when they sit and then I can spin them to where I want x
