What to wear to a teenager photo shoot?
Simple but effective outfit styling.
Planning
A big part of our process is organising a time to chat about your shoot, either in person, on the phone or via video chat. This way we can discuss what kinds of images you’re looking to create and guide you on how best to achieve that.
Style
A solo shoot for a teenager is all about them reflecting their style and personality - so there are very little instructions on what you ‘should’ wear. I want you to wear something you feel comfortable in, something that reflects your personality and I also encourage outfit changes to encompass the different facets of your personality.
Firstly:
Pick clothing you feel comfortable and confident in. If you like wearing casual clothes -do that - if you prefer a dressier look - go for it!
Dress for the location - if you’re outdoors make sure it’s weather appropriate.
Avoid big logos as these are distracting and can date a photo.
Try to avoid a lot of complicated patterns, this can look quite chaotic in the images.
Colours and tones
This is the biggest question we get asked - try not to over think it - but here are some tips:
Darker tones
Darker clothing tones look amazing with our darker backgrounds. They create and overall sophisticated and artistic look.
Lighter tones
Lighter tones create a light, airy look that can show a fun, vibrant personality.
Earthy Tones
Earthy tones look great for location, but we also have backgrounds and lighting styles that look fantastic with earthy tones.
If we are outside neutral tones and plain clothing works best so that it is not fighting against the textures and colours in nature.
I will take into consideration the colour tones of your outfit and make sure that blends with the background and setting, to create a cohesive style.
