Your face is the lead actor and your clothing is in the supporting role.

Clothing is an important part of your publicity portrait. Choose clothing carefully and discuss the colors and style with us ahead of time. We will coordinate them with the choice of background. You’ll want to choose clothing that enhances your image but does not take the attention away from where you want it—your face.
*Color. Choose colors that enhance your eyes and facial tones. In general, avoid colors that closely match your skin tones. Subdued colors will be appropriate for most business portraits while brighter or trendier colors may be perfect for creative’s.
*Style. Wear long sleeves and select a flattering neckline. Your neckline should enhance your face shape. Avoid horizontal lines in both the cut and pattern of the fabric, which can add width to your figure. Texture can add interest.
*Character. Consider the norms of your profession and the personality you want to convey to the viewer. Would you like to appear authoritative or managerial? Conservative styling and understated tones would be appropriate. If you’re in a profession that would benefit from a friendly and approachable image, you might consider softer fabrics and a less buttoned-down look. Lively bright colors may work well for someone in the arts or human services profession.
There are many ways in which clothing can enhance your portrait – take some time to plan ahead and do consult with us. It may be a good idea to bring your attire with you on a hanger so that it will be fresh and pressed for the session.
