Style Guide
Here's a few tips on how to dress during our sessions together. Keep in mind that these are guidelines, and that sometimes broken rules have their advantages!
DOs
- Go Simple!
Solid colours, light make-up, subtle jewelry.
- Co-ordinated...
but not matching (for groups). For example, not all white dress shirts, but different dress shirts, or different shirts/outfits of same colour range.
- Props
But nothing cheesy, something natural. Watermelon to eat for family shoots, cigar for men's portrait, umbrella or scarf for women's.
- Outfits
Bring extras for a change, and use contrasting colors (ie. grey with wine red).
DON'Ts
- Extreme Colours
Black, white, and bright or neon colours. Also, colours of the same hue as your complexion.
- Distractions
Dangly/flashy jewelry, low-cut tops, tight patterned clothing, heavy make-up, glasses, bright/glossy lipstick.
- Extreme-Sized Clothing
Too baggy or too tight tend to work negatively for obvious reasons.
