If you have decided to have a photo session with Greg Dotel Photography and you are unsure of what to wear during your photo session, here are some tips that will make your doubts disappear.
Generally you will want to stand out in all your photos as the main element, but at the same time you do not want your clothing to get all the attention instead of you as the main subject of the photographs. When everyone sees your photos you want your face to be the first thing that stands out. Likewise, your clothes define your personality, but what you don’t want is for them to be the center of attention.
What type of clothing to avoid?
- Lines or strong prints
- All black clothing
- Great logos or words
- Very bright colors
- Clothes with images
- Competing colors
- Intense reds (It is a very predominant color)
How to dress correctly for your photo session?
- Dress appropriately to complement the session location
- Wear solid colors or light prints
- Wear comfortable clothing (In Santo Domingo it is very hot and you will have to move several times for the poses)
- Feel free to use complementary accessories such as clothing, hats or any other accessory of your choice
If ladies want to wear a more elegant look, they can wear a dress or skirt that suits the venue. Or if you wish, go for a more casual look and you can opt for jeans and a blouse with the characteristics mentioned above. While gentlemen feel free to wear jeans and a smart shirt or something casual.
If there will be girls participating in the photos, they can opt for a cute dress or something more vintage with a flower print or something like that. If there are two or more girls or boys, it is good to try to dress them with the same colors and clothes. Generally with pastel colors, pink, white or lilac in the case of girls.
If the session is on the beach, don’t worry about shoes. In fact, everyone barefoot makes the photos look much better and much better if you bring an extra change of clothes.
I hope these tips help you choose your clothes more easily when going to your photo session and you don’t have to go through the odyssey of not knowing what to wear to look your best.
