Frequently Asked Questions
CLOTHING
What should I wear on photo day?
Make sure your clothing/uniform is clean and pressed. Solid colours allow the student to stand out and look great against both solid and busier backgrounds.
Shave if necessary. You may use concealer to cover blemishes but we do offer retouching as well. Bring a comb or brush and brush your hair just before your photos.
You may want to bring a hair product to tame fly-away hairs. Feel free to wear your glasses – our photographers are trained to reduce glasses glare.
Alternatively, if you have old lens-less frames, you could consider wearing those instead. And most importantly, bring your smile!
Can I wear green on photo day?
No. If you are on the proof program, you may not wear any green clothing or accessories including but not limited to:
tops, bottoms, logos, plaid, prints, earrings, hats, jewellery and dyed hair with any green in it.
Our green screen technology does not allow for any exceptions.
What should I wear for my graduation photo session?
We recommend a dress shirt and tie for the guys, and a white or ivory blouse for the girls.
You may not wear green (see above).
Consider bringing a change of clothes for your modern poses.
