I’m a believer in keeping things simple and being authentic. so wear clothes that are in keeping with your own sense of taste and style. Please think about how these images will be used when you are choosing your wardrobe.
Men: Solid jackets, colorful ties (not the Christmas tie, Grateful Dead tie, or your favorite tie from 1985 – even if your mother did give it to you) ’No tie’ can also be a great look with a sports jacket. Women: Black/dark colors are slimming, but bright colors also add a LOT of pop. If you are unsure, please bring some alternate choices and we can see what works the best for you. Your business headshots should be an authentic representation of you. Below here are links to a couple of blog posts that may help in terms of what to wear for your business headshots.
When choosing attire for professional headshots, it’s best to steer clear of busy patterns, logos, plunging necklines, and pastel colors. These elements can often detract from your skin tone and overall image. Opt for simpler and more flattering clothing choices to ensure a polished and professional look in your headshot photographs.
Bring anything that helps us help you. Do you need to? No – not necessary at all.
Although we ask that you arrive ready for your business headshots, please feel free to bring a couple of clothing options if you’re unsure. If you’ve seen a style you like, let’s look at it. If we need to match your company website, no problem – just give us the specs. Our goal is to make your business headshots session 100% successful.
