Not sure what you should wear? Here are some tips from Jan!

FOR MEN

  • Only the top half is photographed!
  • A nice jacket, shirt, sweater, vest, or uniform can be worn.
  • Avoid busy or loud prints, stripes, and plaids, these will distract from your expression.
  • Pinstripes and mild prints are usually fine.
  • Decide if you should wear a tie.
    • Ties can have color and some pattern as long as it’s not too distracting. If you’re not sure, bring an extra just to be safe!

Since an image or print is two-dimensional, some items may be more prominent than others.

FOR WOMEN

  • Photos are usually taken from the chest or higher. (So avoid long necklaces)
  • A nice suit jacket, dress, blouse, vest, sweater, or uniform photograph best.
  • Earth colors work great! Shades of blue, brown, black, or green.
  • Avoid loud colors, definite prints, stripes, or plaids.
  • Try to avoid jewelry that is too big or bold.
    • While it doesn’t always look bad, it can distract from the focus of the photo – you!

Caution: Bare arms often do not photograph well. Makeup: Wear a little more than usual but avoid the clown look.

For your studio headshot session, you can choose to bring one or two outfits and be photographed on a blue, brown, gray, white, or deep green background. Charges for a session include one high resolution, digital jpeg is $100.
