What should I wear?

Opt for attire that portrays a polished and competent image. Classic choices like a crisp collared shirt, a well-fitted blazer, or a modest blouse are always safe bets. Avoid overly busy patterns, and instead gravitate towards solid colors or subtle patterns that complement skin tone and don't distract from the face. Remember, the aim is to look both authentic and professional, so choose something that aligns with your intended industry while also making you feel confident and comfortable.
What colors should I wear?

For the best photographs, it's often recommended to keep things simple with solid colors. But if you're feeling creative and looking for a fun look, bright and vibrant hues can also do wonders! When selecting patterns though, opt for something subtle—too much detail will take away from your face being the main focus of attention. Remember the goal of a headshot is to show off your personality and professionalism. So, be confident, natural, and have fun with it!
What if it rains?

Don't worry! The whole shoot is actually going to be indoors.
