Wardrobe & Styling Guidelines
A few simple choices make the difference between a good portrait and a commanding one. Here's how to arrive camera-ready.
Clothing Choices
- Fit is everything. Tailored, well-fitted suits, blazers, and dresses look best on camera.
- Choose rich solids. Jewel tones, navy, charcoal, plum, deep green, and classic black dominate.
- Avoid distracting patterns. Steer clear of tight stripes, loud checks, and giant logos.
- Keep patterns subtle. If wearing a pattern, ensure it sits under a solid jacket or blazer.
- Press your wardrobe. High-end lighting captures texture, meaning wrinkles will show up clearly.
Accessories & Details
- Keep jewelry minimal. Stick to classic studs, subtle necklaces, and premium watches.
- Avoid highly reflective pieces. Large, shiny statement pieces distract from your face.
- Bring wardrobe variety. A few jacket or tie options let us quickly swap between looks.
Grooming Tips
- Matte skin finishes. Avoid heavy, oily moisturizers right before stepping into the studio.
- Hair styling. Arrive with your hair completely styled and ready for the camera.
- Shaving and trim. Clean up facial hair lines the morning of your session.
