-
Simplicity is the key
when it comes to planning a portrait. Solid colors are best. Avoid
large or bold patterns and bright colors. They draw attention away
from the face.
-
Long sleeve dresses and shirts are recommended.
They draw attention away from the arms and focus on the face.
-
Coordinate
your outfit from head to toe, carefully selecting shoes and jewelry,
as our photographer may suggest a full length pose.
-
Darker clothing
tends to minimize body size, and light tones tend to emphasize
body size.
-
Necklines are important. A scoop or v-neck is
best if your neck is short and your face is full. A turtleneck
or high-necked garment is more flattering if your neck is longer
and your face is slender.
-
Do not mix light and dark colors. Save
stronger colors and patterns for accent items like scarves and
neckties.
-
White or light pastel clothing looks best in
portraits taken against a white or light colored background. Dark
clothing looks best photographed against darker backgrounds and
creates a more formal mood.
- Our photographers will help you to select
the backgrounds most suitable to your needs. To personalize your
portraits, we encourage you to bring your own props to the session
as well.
