Expert Tips: Choosing Outfits For Your Branding Photo Session in Chicago
As a branding photographer, I understand the importance of selecting the right outfits for your brand photo session. Your clothing choices play a significant role in conveying your personal and professional style, and they can greatly impact the authenticity and effectiveness of the images we create together.
Here are some essential tips to keep in mind when selecting your outfits:
Stay True to Your Style: Choose clothes that reflect your authentic self. The goal is to capture images that genuinely represent who you are, so be true to your personal and professional style.
Diversify Your Looks: Aim for a variety of "looks" that mirror different scenarios in your life. Consider what you would wear when meeting clients, working from home, or engaging in your favorite activities. A diverse selection of images will give you versatility for the content you share with your community in the months after your brand photo session.
Align with Your Brand Colors: Consider selecting clothing pieces that align with your brand's color palette. This cohesive approach enhances brand identity and creates a visually appealing connection between your personal style and your professional image.
Consider Professional Assistance: If you need help refining your wardrobe choices, consider working with a personal stylist. They have the expertise to blend fashion with your unique identity, ensuring that your outfits not only look good but also feel like a natural extension of yourself.
I have had the pleasure of collaborating with two exceptional personal stylists who have greatly enhanced my own wardrobe and understanding of style:
Lora LaPratt of Shopping Girl XOXO Her expertise was invaluable in selecting smart professional items perfect for networking events and creating a polished look. The items she selected were the perfect blend of my personal style and brand identity.
Annie Peck of Annie Frances Style delved into my closet, helping me discover the untapped potential within my existing wardrobe. Together, we prepared 10-15 looks for my recent branding session, showcasing a range of styles that reflect different aspects of my personality and brand.
By following these tips and possibly seeking the assistance of a personal stylist, you can ensure that your brand photo session results in a diverse and impactful collection of images that truly represent you and your brand.
