What to wear to your headshot session
So it’s time to update your headshot! Here are a few things to consider:
1) LOCATION
If you will be in front of a light background stay away from white/cream/ivory clothes. If you will be in front of a dark background then avoid black/dark grey/navy.
If you are unsure of the backdrop please ask your employer or me.
2) OUTFIT
If your employer or job field is more corporate you should wear business professional clothes but if it is a more relaxed setting business casual is welcome.
Solid color photographs best but if you want to wear a print just make sure it is simple.
For women: Jewel tones always photograph well - think emerald, ruby, deep blue, etc…
For men: a blue suit is always safe and black suits look great with a white back ground. If you are doing a button down for business causal please refrain from plaid/gingham.
Wear clothes that fit well - shirt that are too baggy will make you appear larger.
If you are unsure about your outfit feel free to bring a couple options.
3) MISC
For women: Apply your makeup 50% heavier than normal as the camera takes away a lot of makeup. Feel free to bring powder and lip color to touch up!
Please iron out any wrinkles!
Avoid logos on shirts
