Portraiture, individual, family & corporate
Whatever you are comfortable in! The choice is entirely yours – just think about what you hope to achieve in your pictures and dress accordingly. Are you looking for a contemporary relaxed family picture?
Then jeans work very well, and perhaps same coloured shirts.
Tee shirts with large artwork, or advertising logo's are not suitable at all.
Short's are a no no for men in family portraiture.!
Bright contrasting colours (no clashing colours!) make a high impact with children, but can be distracting on adults.
Everyone in black or white can look effective too. The key is to know what you’re looking for – or bring a selection and work together to create some different looks. Choose clothing in similar colours or neutral tones so that no single member of the family stands out because the clothing is too light or bright compared to the rest of the group.
The goal of any portrait is to direct the viewers attention to the face or faces in the portrait. Simple, long-sleeved garments in natural colours always work well, but:
Bold stripes, checks and prints are confusing.
Bright colours, such as red or orange, will tend to overpower the face and ruin the portrait.
Ladies should wear light, natural make-up, and unobtrusive jewelery.
WHAT DO WE DO DURING THE SHOOT?
I HATE HAVING MY PICTURE TAKEN!
Whatever you or the kids are comfortable with! If you feel awkward, the pictures won’t be great.
My aim is to get you having fun and enjoying yourselves – fairly quickly you’ll forget that you hate having your picture taken, and you’ll love the pictures we get as a result.
What we do is entirely dependent on what happens on the day!
