Tips on dressing for your photo shoot! What should you wear for a great looking portrait?

Well for starters there are no absolute rules, no right or wrongs. That said, if you want great looking pictures try to wear solid colours rather than distracting busy patterns or sports tops with busy logos, typically these will almost certainly distract people from what the picture is really about, you.

The solid colours here, along with the light on his face, help to keep your attention on Tijan, rather than your eye wondering off all over the image and not knowing where to settle. Your eye will be drawn to the red, but it will return to Tijans eyes which are really the main focus for this kind of portrait. Also, the neutral background doesn't distract, this also helps to keep your eyes on the subject. I took this shot out on location, lighting Tijan from one side with off camera flash to create the mood.
