Re: professional portraits

[Evelyn Lee Barney <evbarney -at- comcast -dot- net>]

A little makeup may not be amiss, bronzer or blush - a touch of lipstick and maybe some eyeliner (unless you wear glasses and then no real need .) Lighting for these type or portraits can make you look washed out. Otherwise, i think you should look how you look!

I have to get a portrait taken for a book credit for a book I'm working on. I'm not sure why they want to spotlight the copyeditor - I'm not the one putting together the package, I'll just be making sure the contributions are consistent to format and have no egregious proofreading errors (I'm not the greatest proofreader in the world). 

I assume business attire. What I've got is a black interviewing suit, and I imagine a white blouse is most appropriate and will reproduce better? or should I go with something softer for a blouse? I've got a pink blouse with grey pinstripes oxford that I've worn with the black suit on interviews, because I didn't want to look too stark. 

I don't usually wear makeup or jewelry; should I wear some for the photograph? Scarf? 


advice? I'm clutching here. 


Regards, 
Becca
