Most often you want to choose solids and
keep your clothing simple.
No patterns, stripes, or shiny material. Remember...your eyes should
be the focus of your headshot |
|
|
The fit of your clothing is very important.
Bulky oversized clothing will
add nothing to your photo. Choose clothing that is flattering and fits
you well. For body shots bring flattering pants - dark jeans or black
pants always work well. |
|
|
When combining clothes it is a good idea to
create contrast.
For example: with a dark colored jacket wear a lighter toned or
different colored top underneath. With a light colored jacket wear a
darker toned or different colored top underneath. |

|
Women should generally bring a variety of
necklines (mostly open
neck), straps, tank tops, v-necks, sleeveless, etc.. Button
down/collared
shirts and turtlenecks tend to compete with your hair if it's long. If
you
have a dress with a flattering neckline, that's an option too. |
|
|
Men should generally bring button
down/collared shirts, polos are
always great. Fitted sweaters can work. T-shirts: v-neck/crew neck
make for good layering pieces or on their own. |
|
|
When choosing colors for COLOR SHOTS, it's
always a good idea to
choose colors that bring out and enhance your eye and hair color.
Bring the "you look good in that color" shirt. Darker colors usually
work
best. And, "when in doubt, wear black!". |
|

BLACK+WHITE headshot suggestions are the
following: Avoid white.
Bring black. Choose items that are at least one shade darker than your
skin tone so your face stands out. A top not darker than your skin tone
is fine if worn UNDER a darker jacket, shirt, or sweater. If you are a
person with a dark skin tone ... white tops or tops lighter than your
skin tone will be fine. |
|
|
Rules can be broken! If you have clothes you
like that make you feel
attractive...bring them. And of course...bring clothing that is ironed.
Please don't bring your entire wardrobe...but if you are unsure, bring
more not less. As a former fashion stylist, you will get my expert
advice.
I will honestly tell you what I think would work best. |
