Salon and beauty photography guides
Hair, nails, brows, barbering and skin — photographing close-up work where colour accuracy and honest before-and-afters decide whether someone books.
4 guides
Photos for your booking app profile that survive the thumbnail grid
How booking platforms crop your images, how to order a gallery, matching photos to your service menu, and keeping the set current.
Getting skin tones right across every client you photograph
Why salon photos render deeper skin tones grey and lighter ones pink, how to meter and white balance per client, and where correction stops being honest.
Photographing a Fade So the Blend Is Actually Visible
Fades vanish into a dark blur in the mirror shot. Raking side light, the three angles that sell a cut, and keeping the busy shop out of frame.
Shooting Balayage and Colour Melts So the Dimension Shows
Multi-tonal colour reads as one flat block on a phone. Angles, hair positioning and light direction that reveal a gradient, plus matched before and after frames.
