WHAT SHOULD I Wear for my branding session?
One of the most asked questions i receive from my clients is ‘What should i wear?’. Wardrobe is very essential in any portrait session and can either make or mar the images. That’s why we carefully go through this part with so much care. Part of the reason why my clients love to work with me is because we not only do a wardrobe consultation, but we also give them access to our studio wardrobe. What a way to relieve some stress, if you ask me.
I have put out 3 tips below to help choose and decide on what you can wear for your session.
SOLID COLOURS- You must have heard this from a lot of other professional branding photographers. The reason why we recommend this is because the style of your clothing can either bring focus to you or take it away from you. Because the image you’re trying to put out there is for the purpose of connecting with your ideal clients, you don’t want them to be drawn to your clothing, but rather your face and personality.
WEAR MULTIPLE OUTFITS- The internet has driven a lot of businesses in the 21st century online so that means content these days is key. The more outfits you have, the more variety of pictures and content you’ll create. Imagine having just one image with the same outfit and posting it all year round across your social media feed. {Boring right?, oh definitely}.
GO EASY ON ACCESSORIZING- Except what you’re trying to sell is your jewelries, then please keep it simple. But if your focus is drawing attention to yourself, then the simpler you keep the details, the better.
There you go guys, these are just three tips but there’s more and that’s why a consultation with your Photographer is so important. 80% of the work and success of your session is done at the consultation.
