What Not To Wear For A Photoshoot

Choosing What to Wear For Your Photoshoot Session Can Be a Painful process.

I have clients walking in with their entire wardrobe at times.

Here are a few tips on what to wear and not to wear during a photoshoot session.

What Not To Wear?

1. Stay away from prints (flowers/graphics) clustered/busy prints make you look invisible. When there is so much going on with your cloths, it takes away the spotlight on You.

2. Baggy/loose cloths: Ladies and Gents, if you want to look slim and trim stay away from cloths that doesn't fit your body. Baggy cloths make you look bulky in-front of the camera , a Big No!

3. Horizontal lines: Vertical lines make you look taller and slimmer, horizontal lines make you look? Yes you got it, short and fat. Stay away!

4. Everything in Black and White: Give yourself some variety in color and choose color when deciding what to bring:)

What to Wear?

1. Wear what makes you feel sexy. Glamour sessions are all about bringing your confident and sexy side, so if you put something on and you feel uncomfortable, move on to the next option. Consider it sort of like searching for the perfect wedding dress. When you put it on and can't help but spin in front of the mirror or think, "Heck yes, I'm sexy!" then that is the piece you should wear on shoot day.

2. Consider what he likes, too. Maybe he loves you in the color red, or he still talks about that gown you wore only once at that holiday party or wedding.

3. Opt for dresses/outfits that flatter your body. This goes out especially to the curvy women reading this post. Posing a body wearing form fitted cloths is much easier. As a Photographer I can take off pounds with slight camera angles. So choose a piece that accentuates whatever features you love most about yourself.

4. Jewelry and accessories matters, too. Our suggestion: keep it simple, bring something your grandma or mom passed on to you to make those images memorable. It may be a bracelet, watch or a set or earrings.

5. If you think you dont have anything that you think is worthy of being photographed in. Buy something new, borrow from a friend, rent from a store or choose something from my studio wardrobe.
