Photos allow you to visualize your story. To make everything perfect, you need to try a little at the stage of choosing a photographer, shooting location and compiling clothing sets. Today we will talk about the nuances of choosing outfits for a photo shoot.
The importance of the theme of the photo shoot for choosing an image
When putting together your wardrobe Be sure to consider the location of the photo shoot. So, a home, family environment requires calmer or at least neutral shades. In nature, things in bright colors usually look good (this way you become part of a landscape filled with lush greenery, colorful buds and deep shades of trees). And here black color is a very risky option. Only use him if he has been recommended by the photographer you are considering working with.
Important! The subject of photography is not always determined by the location. Sometimes it is tied to a holiday or event. An example would be a New Year's shoot or a photo shoot for a pregnant woman.
What to wear to a love story?
Tenderness is easy to express with the help of white, white with blue, beige with white, caramel with milk. In the specified range should dress up and your significant other. Color and style unity will help consolidate the impression of you as two parts of one whole.
Not everyone likes the idea of appearing in front of the camera in things that match the color of the gentleman's clothes. If you belong to this category of people, then take the idea of compatibility as a basis. You are together because you are in harmony with each other, which is clearly demonstrated by your outfits.
To figure out which colors resonate and get along well with each other, use a ready-made color board (color wheel). You can work with the “tool” in three ways. You need to take:
- three colors, when combined, an equilateral triangle is formed;
- shades from compartments adjacent to each other;
- tones opposite each other.
And you don’t have to think long and come to a photo shoot in matching T-shirts. The solution is not new, simple in essence and implementation, but it allows you to achieve your goal without sacrifice: to show that you and your spouse or partner are one.
Secrets of a family photo shoot
Show that you are an indivisible unit of society. Options for demonstrating family unity:
- the female part is in one color, the male part in another (works only if there are several males and several females in the family);
- parents are united by calm, closely related tones, and children are dressed up in things of the same color spectrum, but a little brighter than adults;
- everyone is dressed in denim, cotton or some other material that is difficult to confuse.
Important! A common mistake in family photography: the mother looks spectacular in the color scheme chosen for the family, but such shades do not suit the father and children at all. Don't be selfish, even unwittingly. When choosing a palette, consider the color type of all relatives, not just your own. If the analysis of appearance types does not allow you to choose a single option for everyone, then move away from color unity. Show your unity with a shared icon, piece of jewelry, or accessory.
What clothes and shoes would be a good choice?
- Take wrinkle-resistant wardrobe items.
- Solid colored clothes will allow you to stand out against a multi-colored background. Therefore, say “no” to large inscriptions, logos, and patterns. Exception: shooting outdoors. Things with bright colors and expressive prints can “pop” here.
- Beauty must go hand in hand with the possibility of activity (or its imitation).
- Chunky knit sweaters emphasize femininity. Wardrobe items in light shades have the same effect.
Examples of things that look good on camera:
- long plain skirts and dresses;
- fluttering clothes;
- lace items;
- hats;
- fur products (and just fur decor);
- corsets;
- large jewelry (including costume jewelry).
How to avoid mistakes in choosing?
Need to make a wardrobe in advance. Try on each item in front of a large mirror, in which you can see everything, from shoes to the top of your head. If we are talking about a family photo shoot, then worry about outfits for each relative. And let the cut, color palette or prints of things unite you and emphasize that you are an integral unit of society.
Important! When compiling your wardrobe in advance, do not rush to take things with the expectation “I have two weeks before filming, I will have time to dye my hair, buy new colored lenses or lose weight.” First, make adjustments to your appearance, and only then start choosing outfits. Otherwise, it may turn out that the clothes that looked perfect on you, a brunette, are completely unsuitable for you, a blonde.
Also, many photographers recommend expectant mothers should not delay holding a themed photo shoot. Causes:
- the shooting lasts 2–3 hours (you will get tired long before the last frame, which will affect the quality of the materials and your well-being);
- a large belly greatly limits the number of poses.
To avoid unnecessary problems, go to the photographer around the seventh month of pregnancy.
Adviсe
- Take the selected items with you. There is no need to wear them at home or go to the studio in them.
- If you plan to shoot in a swimsuit or even a more revealing photo shoot, then before visiting the photographer, do not wear things that cut into your body. This will cause long-lasting red streaks to appear. They will not allow you to immediately begin the filming process or will require Photoshop.
- Be careful with prints if you want to look slimmer.
- Don’t be afraid to seek advice from a photographer. By virtue of his profession, he knows the secrets of color compatibility. He knows which outfits “pop” in which surroundings, and what it’s better to refrain from wearing.
- Sometimes it makes sense to rent things. For example, for shooting stylized for a certain era.
- Don't take your entire wardrobe with you. On average, one photo shoot uses two to three sets of clothes.
- Let the selected sets differ from each other in mood, style, and image.
- Check the selected outfits for glare.Just put them on and take a photo with your phone.
