First off, thank you for booking your session with Seattle Actor Photos! We’re excited to help you capture a fantastic image that truly represents you. Now, let’s talk about what to wear!

Choosing Your Wardrobe

Your photoshoot is all about YOU, so your outfit should reflect your personality and the message you want to send. Do you want to appear warm and approachable? Confident and powerful? Playful and creative? Your clothing choices can help convey these qualities.

If you’re not sure what to wear, don’t worry! Bring a few options to your session, and we’ll help you decide. But before that, take some time to try things on. Stand in front of a mirror, take a selfie, or even ask a friend for their opinion. Seeing yourself in different outfits will help you make a more confident decision.

Colors That Flatter You

One of the easiest ways to look great on camera is to choose colors that complement your skin tone and make your eyes pop. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Fair Skin: Jewel tones like sapphire blue, emerald green, and deep purples can add warmth and contrast.
  • Medium Skin: Earthy tones such as olive green, warm browns, and mustard yellow work beautifully.
  • Dark Skin: Bold, rich colors like royal blue, bright red, and vibrant oranges will make your complexion glow.

If you have a favorite top that always gets compliments, that’s a great place to start!

Comfort = Confidence

The best outfit is one that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Avoid anything too tight, too loose, or something that constantly needs adjusting. If you feel good in what you’re wearing, that confidence will shine through in your photos.

Layering and Texture

Adding layers and texture can bring depth and visual interest to your photos. Consider:

  • A blazer over a blouse for a polished look
  • A soft cardigan over a fitted shirt for a cozy feel
  • A structured jacket for a professional edge

Accessorize Thoughtfully

Accessories can enhance your look without overpowering it. A simple necklace, classic earrings, or a well-chosen scarf can add personality to your photos. Just keep it minimal—your face should be the star of the image!

Get Inspired!

If you’re feeling stuck, do a quick search on Google Images or Pinterest. Looking at outfit inspirations can help spark ideas and guide your choices. And if nothing in your closet feels quite right, maybe it’s time for a little retail therapy!

Consider Your Background

Your outfit should work well with the background you choose. We offer a variety of backdrops at our studio, and you can check them out [here] (insert link). A neutral outfit might pop against a colorful background, while a bold outfit might work better with a softer, more muted setting.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, the best choice is something that makes you feel like YOU. Bring a few options, think about the message you want to send, and have fun with it. We’re here to help you look your best!

We can’t wait to see you at your session. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. See you soon at Seattle Actor Photos!
