"This video shows how to take the before pictures before the microblading, powder brows, hairstrokes or other brow pigmentation procedure. The video contains instructions how to take the pictures from different angles."
1. Preparation for Before Pictures
Cleaning the Eyebrows
Start by cleaning the eyebrows with an antiseptic to ensure they are free of makeup and oils. This step is crucial for achieving clear, before pictures.
Taking the Before Picture
If the client arrives with makeup on, consider taking a before picture to show the initial state of the eyebrows, including any incorrect shaping. This can be a compelling comparison point. Regardless of makeup, always take a picture of the eyebrows after they've been cleaned. This establishes a clear baseline for comparison.
2. Camera Angle
Camera Angle for Classic Before Picture Positioning
Position the camera approximately 30 cm away from the client's face.
Camera Tilt
Slightly tilt the top of the camera (or phone) downwards to achieve the desired angle.
Client's Pose
Instruct the client to close their eyes for the classic before picture. While this isn't an unbreakable rule, consistency is key. For after photos, ensure the client's eyes are open to highlight the transformation.
3. Zooming and Framing
Zoom Level
Zoom in 1.5 times for a clearer, closer view of the eyebrows. This is particularly recommended when using an iPhone.
Focus and Framing
Focus on one eyebrow (preferably the one with more noticeable issues) and position it in the center of the frame. The other eyebrow should still be partially visible in the shot.
Quantity of Photos
Take a large number of photos from this angle to ensure you have plenty of options to choose from later.
4. Capturing the Second Angle
Overhead Shots
Stand behind the client and take photos from above their head, capturing both eyebrows in one shot.
Individual Brow Shots
From the same overhead angle, take individual shots of each eyebrow.
Frontal Shots
Move to stand in front of the client to capture additional frontal pictures of the brows.
By following these structured steps, you can ensure that the before and after photos are consistent, clear, and effectively highlight the transformation achieved through your eyebrow styling or treatment service.
