First to save time, there is a ton of information on the web on this topic. So feel free to investigate on your own. For women, the make-up is essential. Again there is so much available knowledge on the web, you might be overwhelmed.
For this photographer, simple is better. Let’s cover a few easy areas to describe.
1. Although dark clothing tends to slenderize, it can also wreck havoc with the lighting, even natural lighting. So wearing all black can be problematic, especially for light skinned people. Hold up your clothes in front of a mirror and see how you look. If you are happy, that is all that counts
2. Bright colors may take attention away from your face. Your personality is what has to shine through, and we do not want to take attention away from your expression.
3. Light clothing can look very fresh. Sometimes a jacket covering a light shirt is very expressive.
4. Stay away from prints and patterns that will cause a distraction. Also no logos on your clothing for the photo session.
5. Avoid short sleeves and short pants. Long sleeves are easier to pose without causing awkward looks.
6. Don’t over accessorize, keep it simple
7. Hair should be off the face. Bangs that are too long stop light from reaching the eyes.
8. For light skinned people, no taupes or beiges. Dark featured people should come in plain colors. Do not wear boat-necked shirts or sweaters.
9. Bring touch-up makeup with you. It is always good to have it just in case!
