What to Wear for Portraits
What to Wear for Portraits
Below is a compilation of a video series on what to wear for headshots, senior photos, engagement photos, and really any portrait session. I discuss how to pick out the right colors, tips for picking flattering outfits for full-length portraits, and picking out patterns. (I prefer solid colors to patterns, but there is a way to wear patterns if you really love something.) While the tips on full-length portraits are for women, the tips on colors and patterns can be applied to men as well. If you are planning a pet portrait session and you want to be in the photos, these tips will apply well for you with 1 caveat – I don’t recommend dresses when you are posing with dogs. When you pose with dogs, many times you are sitting on the floor/ground or on a chair/stool, so dresses can be tough to work with in those scenarios.
