Beware “Raccoon Eyes” – don’t place
yourself underneath an overhead light.

Don’t shoot in front of a window, or your
face will be a dark blob.

Don’t use a window as your only source
of light.

Don’t scare people with your giant head.

Don’t leave too much head room
(you appear small and tentative)

Don’t wear white.
And don’t wear clothing that’s lighter
than your skin tone.

Your face should be the brightest object
in the frame.

Don’t make yourself insignificant by being
too small in the frame.

Think about what your background says
about you and your business

Plenty of light, framed
correctly, wearing good color, good
background.

Ditto.

Professionally dressed, good
framing, good light, face is brightest object
in the frame.
