I love to use hands in close ups to frame the face or simply add interest to a shot. People tend to forget about their nails, but they do show up in a majority of your photos.
Whether you pay a visit to the salon or beautify yourself at home, make sure your nails are ready for their photo shoot debut. Chipped finger and toenails are an eyesore that are difficult to hide, impossible to fix post session and do not allow for a full use of your extremities that can really make a shot!
In the weeks prior to your photo shoot, moisturize your hands often and try to grow out any bitten or scraggly nails. A one-color palette is the safest bet. If you are seeking a splash of color (a classic red for example), make sure that it compliments your costuming! If you don’t want any color, just clean, neat nails with a clear or neutral nail polish is absolutely perfect.
And…DON’T FORGET THE TOE NAILS! People often go barefoot in a shoot or wear heels with exposed toes.
The extra time and attention that you put into making your nails photo ready will pay off in your photos!
