Tips

Appearance

• Avoid bold patterns, bright colours (e.g., red or yellow) and stripes.
  
• Neutral colours like navy blue and grey always work well.
  
• Form fitting & figure-hugging clothing is best to help compliment your appearance.
  
• In the corporate world company culture needs to be taken into account.
  
• Avoid jewellery pieces that overpower the portrait.
  
• All clothing should be clean, ironed well, and wrinkle-free.
  
• It’s a good idea to use eye drops to remove any redness before the session.
  
• How you feel on the day will reflect in the images. So take it easy the night before. Have a good night’s sleep so you look refreshed.

On location

• Don’t take this the wrong way and any input is greatly received but you are paying me to do a job.
  
• Usually I will shoot tethered so you can look at the images as I take them. What doesn’t always appear to look good from the outside can be quite different from the camera lens.
  
• Portrait or Landscape? Generally landscape looks better. However Portrait tends to enhance subjects in suits or certain style tops e.g. V-Necks. Just bear that in mind.

After

•  Everybody is different so bear in mind that I am not in control of how others (spouses, friends, colleagues, etc…) will react to your photographs.
