On Attire
When it comes to dressing for your portrait, there are a few suggestions to consider that will enhance the overall aesthetic and ensure your unique style shines through.
Attire: Choose clothing that speaks to your individuality. While the choice of attire is entirely up to you, a neutral or light palette can create a timeless and versatile look. Texture also photographs really well, and especially in B&Ws. Incorporating unique pieces into your ensemble adds an element of personal flair. While wearing black seems like a safe choice, it can be risky as it can sometimes blend you in with the background.
Accessories: Hats, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and other adornments can add a touch of personality and interest to your portraits. They provide an opportunity to showcase your aesthetics. Just be careful that they are not too distracting or steal the show! Accessories are there to be supporting elements, not be the center of attention.
Makeup: Feel free to apply makeup based on your personal preference. It's entirely at your discretion whether you want a natural or more glamorous look. Opt for makeup that makes you feel confident and reflects your personal style.
Above all, be comfortable. The goal is to express yourself authentically, so wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident.
