FAQs
-
What you wear is usually dictated by your personality, industry and/or intended use of the headshot. Here is an essential list of things to consider:
Opt for tailored outfits with structure that do not wrinkle easily
Avoid oversized jackets
Avoid clothing that is too tight
Opt for fabrics with little or no distracting patterns, such as large prints or fine stripes
Avoid reflective/shiny fabrics, such as satin
Darker colors work best against a lighter background
Scarves or neckties are the best way to add a pop of color
Jewelry or accessories should be simple and understated
Wear a color that complements your skin tones (bring 1-2 options if you are unsure)
Most importantly, be well-rested and relaxed to look your best!
