What to wear for your Photoshoot

CLOTHING & OUTFITS (General) You’re welcome to bring more than one outfit. We suggest everyone is dressed in similar styles, colours that compliment one another, and avoiding slogans, logos and images. Wearing bright colours helps to stand out against our white background whereas pastels and neutrals compliment our grey wall beautifully, alternatively white tops and blue jeans are always a classic. Think about your home, these images will be going on your walls! What will match your decor?
SHOES Be sure to have shoes that match your outfit(s) as your feet will be visible in your portraits. The right pair of shoes can make an outfit, and you’ll want portraits to look complete on the wall.

PROPS & ACCESSORIES Jewellery and a watch always help to pull an outfit together. Scarves and hats can bring personality to your images or why not bring something more personal such as sports/dance wear, an instrument, something related to your hobby, the list goes on.

Keeping outfits timeless classics ensures your portraits stand the test of time on your wall, heres some extras of Black & White portraits of customers wearing either black or white outfits:
