Dress for Your Clients
Don’t wear a suit on the daily? Never tied a tie in your life? Then chances are, that’s not the look you should go for in your photo!Dress it up like you’re on your way to impress an important client. This is the best way to find the sweet spot between casual and dressy without forgetting your personality.
Say Goodbye to Baggy Clothes
While loose, flowy outfits might feel comfortable, they can make you look bigger and less defined on camera. The camera doesn’t lie, and it doesn’t flatter baggy, oversized clothing either. Keep it sleek, structured, and fitted for the most flattering effect.
Opt for Fit and Structure
Go for tailored, well-fitting pieces that highlight your natural shape. If you’re worried about lumps and bumps, heavier fabrics or lined garments work wonders, as they provide structure and won’t cling to the body like thin or stretchy fabrics.
Avoid Loud Patterns
Bold or busy patterns can easily steal the spotlight and distract from the essence of your portrait. Stick to simple, solid colors for a timeless look. Even small patterns can cause visual glitches (like moiré patterns) that are tough to fix in editing.
Show Off Your Personality
Don’t shy away from adding a little flair! Whether it’s an elegant accessory, a pop of your favorite color, or a unique detail, make sure your portrait reflects you. After all, you want to capture your true essence in the shot!
Wear What Makes You Feel Confident
Confidence is key in a great portrait, and what you wear plays a big part in that. Choose colors and outfits that make you feel great—whether it's a dress you always get compliments on or those perfectly fitted jeans that make you stand tall.
Don’t Forget Your Smile
It’s the oldest trick in the book, but it’s still the most effective. A warm, genuine smile can make all the difference in your photo. While editing can soften a laugh line or two, it can’t add the authentic warmth and personality of a natural smile.
