Don't take your whole wardrobe! Simple, practical advice for using clothing choices to control your image in your next headshot session.

The next in my ‘Take Control of Your Headshots’ series looks at the ageold agonyinducing issue of what the hell to wear for your shoot!

This is a fairly subjective area so many opinions are available, but I've tried to corral some pithy, practical tips for helping you make the most of your next shoot.

What's in the video;

We begin with four general rules:

The clue is in the name...
Mind the crop...
Normal rules apply...
It's not just your clothes....

And then, discuss the areas I encourage my clients to think about in 'Getting Ready to Shoot,' including:

Lights & Darks
Working with colour
Texture & Structure
Neckline

It's all rounded off with a set of Dos and Don'ts.


More broadly, my 'Take Control of Your Headshots' series, aims to give actors the tools, techniques, insights, & tactics to take control of their next headshot session, before, during & after the shoot.

Hope you find it useful, and thanks for watching!
