By Dr Amber Halliday, MRCGP MBBS BSc (Hons) | Blue Bird Aesthetics, Worthing

Photography and video lighting are unforgiving in a way everyday life isn’t — texture, pores and dehydration all show up more clearly on camera than in the mirror. Planning ahead of a shoot tends to give far better results than anything done the week before.

What People Usually Notice

Texture, visible pores, and dehydration under makeup come up most often ahead of a shoot. Fine lines can also become more noticeable under studio lighting than they are day to day.

Suggested Timeline

12 weeks: course-based treatments (texture, pores)→4 weeks: final session, allow settling time→1 week: LED or hydration only — nothing new

Treatment Options We May Discuss

Safety & Suitability

Anything with visible downtime needs to be well clear of the shoot date. We’ll work backwards from your date to build a realistic plan, rather than trying to fit a course of treatment into the week before.

Not sure what’s right for your timeline?

Bring the date and the goal to a consultation, and Dr Halliday will talk you through what’s realistic and what isn’t — no pressure, no set menu.
