What to Wear
Confidence, the right clothes, hair & makeup and the attitude you portray at the shoot all impact the outcome of your photos. Dress as if you were going to an event, or representing your company.
Bring accessories and props, eg: Laptop, tablet and notebook. The more prepared you are, the better your photos will look!
Ladies
We guarantee to make you look fantastic!
Opting for a business suit paired with a contrasting colored blouse or top is a classic choice that always looks great. For the most flattering photos, stick to long sleeves and solid colors. When it comes to jewelry, keep it elegant and understated.
For more casual looks, bring along a variety of colors, but steer clear of busy patterns. We suggest bringing 3-4 outfits for your session day to give you plenty of options.
If you’re opting for a Custom Profile or Personal Branding session, feel free to bring even more outfits to ensure we capture your unique style from every angle!
Gentlemen
Here's what to bring to your session.
For a polished formal look, opt for a classic black, navy, or charcoal suit paired with your favorite tie. Casual and soft statement-style ties are currently in vogue. Pair your suit with a plain shirt featuring protruding French cuffs for a sophisticated touch.
If you’re aiming for a more contemporary or casual vibe, consider bringing along a variety of jackets paired with contrasting colored, plain shirts or tops. Pair these with jeans or chinos for a stylish yet relaxed look
