Clothing Suggestions

• Clothing should fit you well, but not be too tight.

• Keep your outfits to one or two layers only.

• When in doubt, choose solid colors

• Accessories like necklaces, headscarves, hats, and earrings should be carefully considered, and usually avoided. However, if you are going for a specific type, you can add subtle accessories as long as they are subtle and will add to the type, not distract.

• Consider necklines - lower necklines for adults (but not too low :) V-necks work better than crew necks. Kids and teens should have higher necklines.

• Teens: dress modestly! Keep your outfits appropriate and avoid showing off too much skin.

• If you are only getting headshots, you don’t need to worry about what pants or shoes to wear. If you need full-body digitals, make sure to dress from head to toe (and try out the outfits in total to make sure everything looks good together).

Things to avoid, if possible:

• Ribbed clothing (like you often find in tank tops). The tiny textures confuse the camera lens

• Silk, velvet. They look beautiful in person, but don’t work with the studio lighting

• Loud jewelry

• Baggy, boxy, and oversized clothing

• Turtle-necks

• Clothing that is too revealing

• Clothing that wrinkles easily

• Clothing that pulls or tugs when you move or stretch (but the clothing should still fit you well! Just make sure things aren’t too tight)
