INFO

We are excited to shoot and see all of the amazing MVA Finalist this summer at the 2023 Velocity Season Finale! Your MVA headshot background color will be determined by your age category. 

All our MVA Finalist will shoot a MONOCHROMATIC LOOK just as our Velocity Faculty did for our Ads this season. Now it is your turn! Prepare an outfit to match the background color for a unique Velocity Photo Experience. For example a Junior dancer will select a Purple outfit and shoot on a Purple background just like Ade Obayomi.

Mini’s will shoot on BLUE, Junior’s on PURPLE, Intermediate’s on PINK, Teen’s on RED, Senior’s on ORANGE Color (see samples below)

You will be assigned an MVA Headshot time from Velocity. You must shoot during your allotted time. No EXCEPTIONS!

2023 MVA COLORS

MAKE-UP & ATTIRE

We recommend solid bold colors. 

Avoid florals, or other heavy patterns. No white or any neon colors, they wash out the skin and blowout in photos.

Choose a more form-fitting top, as opposed to a looser fitting top. Shots will be from the waist up, but please consider the waistline of the pants you choose to wear.  Choose an option that lays flat and does not bunch.

No extra jewelry but small earrings are ok.

Think light, fresh and natural make-up. Avoid heavy eye make-up, no stage makeup. When choosing a lip color, avoid shiny lip glosses since the hair will stick. Choose a matte/silky lipstick, this is more flattering for photos. For the younger MVAs, a good natural lip is best.

Come hair ready as you would like it to look in your photos.
