Day 6: Your Phone Setup & Background 📱

Welcome to Day 6 of 7 Days to Camera-Ready! 📸

Today is all about setting up your phone so we can create magic together.

1. Phone a little above eye level. Set your phone just a little above your eyes, and center yourself in the frame.

2. I need to see both shoulders. For headshots, I need to see your head and both shoulders fully in the picture. For full-length photos, I need to see your whole body.

3. Move, don't move the phone. How far you stand depends on the shot. For full-length photos, leave your phone right where it is, already set so I can see your whole body, and step back. For headshots, just step a little closer. And don't forget, I'm right there with you on a live call. I can see you, and you can see me, so I'll guide you every step of the way. 💛

4. Go hands-free. You'll need a stand or tripod so your hands are free. If you don't have one, don't worry, there are ways to make it work! Some of my clients have propped their phone on a stack of tissue boxes during our call. 📦📱

5. Any background you want. If you love your background, we'll keep it in the shot. If not, no problem. I can give you any color backdrop you like!

This is exactly what I do in every remote session. I direct you live on FaceTime and capture every shot myself. 💛

🎟️ Every comment you leave during the challenge earns you one raffle ticket. The more you comment, the more tickets you get! On Day 8 we go live and draw the winner of a FREE remote headshot session.

👉 What's your setup: a stand, a tripod, or a stack of tissue boxes? 😄

See you tomorrow for Day 7!
