Headshot Preparation
What to Wear for a Professional Portrait
A key guide for showcasing your best self
Choose Clean, Solid Colors
Classic shades like black, white, navy, gray, and earth tones look impressive in images. Avoid overly bright colors that may reflect unwanted tones on your skin.
Keep Patterns Minimal
Intricate patterns can appear distorted on camera. Select solid fabrics or subtle textures to maintain focus on your expression.
Prioritize Fit
Your clothing should fit comfortably, tracing your figure without being too tight or loose. Tailored pieces convey a polished, professional appearance.
Add Layers
Simple Jewelry
Choose minimalist accessories to keep attention on your eyes and expression.
Grooming
Style your hair as you normally would. Bring a brush or comb for touch-ups. Opt for natural makeup that subtly enhances your features for the camera.
Bring Options
Having two to four shirt options along with a jacket or blazer allows us to adjust to various backgrounds and lighting conditions.
Dress for Your Industry
Choose attire that reflects your industry standards, whether corporate, creative, medical, or entrepreneurial.
Wear What Feels Like You
Your confidence is vital in capturing an exceptional portrait.
