About
Everything between you and the camera.
On Air Image began in a makeup chair before dawn, getting people ready for live television. That is still where our standard comes from: the call time is early, the schedule changes, and the look has to hold under the lights for as long as the day lasts.
Over time, the people we worked with kept asking for more. Who could shoot this? Who could run the day? Who could get this story told? So we built the team to answer: hair, makeup, and wardrobe artists; photographers and videographers; assistants and coordinators; and the people who pitch your story to the publications that should hear it.
You do not have to manage any of it. You have one point of contact, and that person handles everything.
Book a single artist for one morning. Bring the whole team to an event. Or keep us on retainer, and we are there whenever the camera is. However you need us, we are here — and we take your moment as seriously as you do.
Choose a service, tell us the date and the setting, and add anything else you need. Two minutes.

Common Questions
How far in advance should I book?
For a single session, a week is comfortable and a few days is usually workable. For a styling day, an event, or anything requiring travel, two to four weeks. Retainer and contract clients hold standing availability, which is much of the reason they exist.
What if my call time moves?
It will, and that is normal. Tell us as early as you can and we will work around it. Schedule changes on the day are part of live television and are not charged for.
Do you work inside secure or credentialed buildings?
Yes, regularly. Many venues need names submitted several days ahead, so flag it when you inquire and we will get the paperwork moving.
Can I book just hair, or just makeup?
Yes. Both are available on their own. Booked together they are priced better, and the look holds together more reliably because one artist is making both decisions.
Do you travel?
Local and in-state work carries a standard travel fee and can be booked under any service. Anything requiring a flight is arranged under Travel, where you also tell us which services you need once we arrive.
How many people can you prepare?
One artist typically prepares three to five people before an appearance, depending on the looks. For larger groups we bring a team and run to a schedule.
What is included, and what costs extra?
Hair, makeup, and the artist's full kit are included. Extra faces, on-set standby, call times before 6:00 AM, bookings inside 48 hours, and production crew are quoted separately and always shown on the estimate before you approve it.
How does payment work?
Single sessions take a deposit at booking with the balance on the day. Styling days, intensives, portraits, retainers, and contracts are invoiced against a written estimate. Nothing is charged before you approve it.
What happens if I need to cancel?
Let us know as far ahead as you can. Deposits are transferable to a new date where the schedule allows; specific terms are set out in your estimate or agreement.
Do we sign anything?
For one-off bookings, an estimate you approve. For retainers, contracts, and anything ongoing, a written agreement covering term, availability, confidentiality, and rates.
