Women
should usually wear more makeup for photographs than they might typically wear
in the day, but not as much as they would put on when going out in formal
dress.
Digital
retouching has all but removed any need for men to use corrective makeup, but
for everyday personal photographs, a little makeup for men is not a bad idea.
Just don't make your guy look like Mrs. Doubtfire,
and if he has a heavy beard, keep a razor handy!
If
you tend to look heavy in photos, it's good to remember that darker colors
recede and lighter colors attract attention. So, dark is good. For everyone
else, muted colors and subtle prints work best.
Long
sleeves and classic styling will almost always look best from just about any
angle. Avoid round necklines and "cap" sleeves. Whenever possible, go
with collars which frame the face.
Unless
you're a bride, avoid white. White clothing will almost always draw the eye to
places you'd rather not see.
Jewelry
can be an important addition to a portrait, but the "less is more"
rule is even more important with things that sparkle!
Faces
reveal a lot about what is going on inside. Someone who is stressed will
transmit that stress in a photograph. So, before that shutter is snapped, take
a deep breath, close your eyes, relax every muscle in your face, and then
picture yourself in a favorite vacation spot! It may sound crazy, but people
are almost always happier with their photos after performing that quick and
easy relaxation technique.
Relax, you'll have fun! Really!
