Whether you are planning family, individual, or children portraits, here are a few tips when choosing styles and colors.
Dark and earth tone colors look great outdoors. Stick to solids and subtle patterns. Bold stripes, large designs, and polka dots stand out and draw attention away from the subject.
Earth tones provide lots of choices and looks good on most any skin color. They include; browns, tans, Grey, greens, orange, white and some reds.
While doing family portraits, it's most flattering when outfits often coordinate. Everyone in portrait should wear items that complement each other in style and color. It's not nessasary for all clothing to match, but make sense together.
Families with Younger children can dress the child in more vibrant clothing.
When shooting portraits outdoors, jeans work really well with simple one pattern top. Photos that stand the test of time are ones that keep to simple, classic, and casual themes.
Darker colors are slimming, but if you prefer white, combine with darker pants or jeans for contrast.
I hope this has helped with choosing the right style and colors for your next portrait session.
