Video Summary

Short on time? Here is a quick summary of tips for what to wear, though I highly encourage you to watch the video to get the fullness of my recommendations.

1. Wear solid colors. Patterns and stripes can draw attention away from your face. If you wear a pattern, choose a soft pattern or layer it with a solid blazer.

2. Wear colors that coordinate with your brand. If you don’t have brand colors, choose colors that compliment your complexion or eye color. Bold, strong colors are perfectly fine if they match your brand personality.

3. Wear a v-neck or scoop neck to elongate the neckline. If not, choose a necklace that drops to create the visual line. For men, a button-down or polo shirt with an open neck or adding a tie or blazer can create the same visual line.

4. Jewelry is flexible. Some choose minimal to no jewelry. Others ordinarily wear chunky jewelry that pops. Wear what fits your brand or personal style.

5. Wear clothes that fit. Clothes shouldn’t be too tight or too loose.

6. Cover the insecurities. If it is your arms or legs, wear long sleeves or pants over skirts.

7. Moisturize your skin. Be sure to drink lots of water and wear moisturizer to avoid dry skin, which does show up on camera.

8. Get professional makeup done. If you’ve booked an individual headshot or brand story session with me, your makeup is complimentary! But if you are part of a headshot group where I’m only with you for about 10 minutes, you will not likely have makeup provided and should consider having your makeup done professionally if this isn’t an area of confidence for you. Your makeup should be HD and matte so that it doesn’t reflect studio lights. The goal is to make sure your skin doesn’t look oily or shiny, and your complexion is even, especially when captured with my 4K camera!
