What should I wear for the
portrait?
Clothing color
Simple long-sleeved
garments in medium to dark tones look best. Darker shades are more flattering
and slimming. Clothing in medium shades complement portraits made in outdoor
environments.
Do
not wear bold stripes, plaids, checks, and prints. They are confusing and do not
photograph well.
Do not wear bright
colors, such as red and orange. They will completely overpower the face and ruin
a portrait.
Avoid light colors that
approximate flesh tones such as beige, tan, peach, pink, white, and yellow. It
will call attention to itself and away from the face.
Clothing style
Very simple garments
always photograph best.
Long sleeves are
essential for teens and adults, as bare arms call attention to them and will
overpower the face.
Turtlenecks or V-necks are flattering provided that neither is exaggerated in
style. Avoid very wide or particularly deep V-neck garments as well as bulky
cowl neck sweaters that completely hide the neck.
Couples
Couples or small groups
should choose simple garments within the same tonal ranges. Light and dark
tones mixed together create visual confusion, as one subject comes forward and the
other recedes.
Families
In a family group,
clothing coordination is very important. Choose clothing in the same tonal ranges so
that no single member of the family stands out because the clothing is too light
or bright as compared to the rest of the group.
Clothing that blends
harmoniously creates timeless portraiture because the viewer's eye goes directly
to the faces.
