Wardrobe Selection

Creating a perfect portrait takes a little planning. Fine portraiture captures facial expressions and mood, while clothing, accessories, and props are secondary and shouldn't create any distractions. Careful selection of these will create a timeless portrait, which will be enjoyable for years to come.

General Fashion Tips:

• Avoid busy patterns and bright colours.
• Light colours are best with light backgrounds and fair complexions.
• Darker colours look better with deep backgrounds and dark hair or complexions.
• White, ivory, khaki or pastels are best with a white, or light background.
• Avoid wearing yellow or green as they can affect skin colour.
• Shoes and socks should be in key.
  
• Teens and adults should wear long sleeves to cover elbows.
• Skirts should cover the knees.
