WHAT TO WEAR FOR A PHOTOSHOOT

Are you feeling unsure of what to wear in your next photo session? I hope this guide helps you a little to choose your clothes.

Fist of all, clothing plays a huge role in how the photos turn out. The colors and the textures do matter. They set the vibe together with the location you have chosen for your photos.

1. THE COLOR PALETTE

My suggestion is that you choose a color palette you like, before choosing the outfits. Here’s some of my favorite color combinations that might give you some inspiration.

2. CHOOSE YOUR FABRICS ACCORDING TO YOUR VISION

If you love that cozy feeling in the photos, I would go with fabrics like linen, cotton or wool. If you’re dreaming of shifting more towards editorial or vintage style, silk or satin is your choice. Silk and satin also pop nicely in flash photos which works well in editorial style photos.

3. Fewer patterns on your fabrics, the better

As you can see in the example below, only one person has patterns on his shirt. The more one-color clothes there are, the more balanced the photos look compared to everyone wearing a lot of different wild patterns. But again, depends on what style you’re looking for. More patterns could work nicely in a very playful and colorful family photoshoot.

4. emotion from the wind

Having your hair down or choosing a flowy dress over a tight skirt helps me capture emotion in the photos. But again, if you aim for editorial / luxorious style in the photos, having your hair up in a tight bun could work better to capture a different kind of emotion.

5. Wear something that feels like YOU

Now that you have some tips for colors etc. the most important tip comes here: wear something that feels like YOU. Your photosession is for you and a memory of your life so it is important that you feel comfortable in your outfit.
