Photoshoot Tips

Solid Colors:

Blue: Navy, royal blue, or light blue can look great and are universally flattering.
Red: A bold red can make you stand out, but make sure it complements your skin tone.
Green: Emerald, olive, or teal can add a nice pop without being too overpowering.
White: Crisp white can be very striking, especially if you’re going for a clean, classic look.
Black: Always a safe choice for a slimming effect and a sophisticated appearance.
Earth Tones: Shades like beige, taupe, and rust can create a warm, natural look.
Avoid Patterns:

Stay away from busy patterns, stripes, or checks as they can be distracting and don’t always translate well on camera.
Complement Your Skin Tone:

Warm Undertones: Opt for colors like peach, coral, orange, gold, and warm browns.
Cool Undertones: Choose colors like emerald, sapphire, lavender, and cool grays.
Neutral Undertones: Most colors will work, but you can lean towards muted tones like blush, jade green, and soft blues.
Outfit Options:
Casual Look:

Top: Solid-colored fitted T-shirt or blouse.
Bottom: Well-fitted jeans or casual trousers.
