What color is better for taking pictures and getting dressed?

People are clothes and horses are saddles. Clothing is the key to taking video photos. But most people don't know what clothes the image wears. Some people even think that photography companies should prepare clothes for them. But video photos are not artistic photos. Although the general photography company may have some spare photos, the more exquisite personal image photos should still wear their own clothes. A good image photo does not necessarily need advanced clothes, but good clothes can provide more possibilities for creative expression. The styles of clothes vary endlessly. Here are only some general rules. So what clothes should I wear for taking pictures? What are the usual requirements? We illustrate it through seven main points and seven comparison diagrams, so that you can see it at a glance!

The following pictures are all our real portrait cases. All clothes are basically customers' own clothes. The so-called effect of good or bad clothes actually lies in the details. Through subtle contrast, it can be seen that in a certain feature, the right picture is more ideal than the left picture in clothing effect.

1, for

Different from wedding photography and artistic photography, if you are wearing a formal suit, the fit is not only the right size, but also the fit cut and version. If it is a full-body photo, the fitted clothes will hide some body defects and make the whole person's temperament tall and solemn, while ordinary clothes may sometimes show no temperament. This is the difference between a custom suit and an ordinary suit. In general, the spare formal dresses of photography companies are all of a general version and size, and everyone's figure is very different, so it is inevitable that they will not fit. Of course, not everyone has to customize a suit. Photographers have many shooting methods. Even if the clothes don't fit, the photographer will use composition or lighting to avoid some obvious flaws.

Both of them are suits. The picture on the left is the uniform work clothes of the enterprise, and the picture on the right is a suit suitable for individuals, which will look more energetic.

2, the color is simple

Generally, some formal clothes are mainly simple in color. It shouldn't be fancy. Fine patterns are not desirable. In terms of color, bright colors are as bright as possible and dark colors are as calm as possible. Tops, bottoms, coats and underwear should be coordinated with each other.

Similar color matching, the white pinstripes on the left skirt interfere with the overall color vision.

3. Simple style

Generally speaking, business attire is not a dinner dress, it should be simple and fashionable. Especially women's neckline should not be decorated too much. Pay attention to the matching of underwear neckline and coat. Ladies don't have to wear business clothes to take an image photo, but they can wear many simple and elegant fashion clothes, as long as they are suitable for formal occasions.

The ribbon and complicated lace on the left neckline are not as simple as the big lines on the right.

Step 4 outline

Contour is the outline and shape of the whole garment. Generally, textured fabrics and high-end design style clothes will pay attention to silhouette. Contour can shape the external image of human body. It can provide good results for adults. The silhouette has higher requirements on the fabric material and design style of the clothing, which belongs to the effect of relatively high-grade clothing.

The custom dress on the right, tulle silk fabric, elegant and free silhouette, has Zen artistic conception, but the ordinary dress on the left lacks this effect

Step 5 highlight

Highlights are mainly reflected by accessories or decorations. Generally speaking, ordinary clothes are quite regular, which will appear featureless. A better design will have more concentrated or special patterns or decorative treatments in some parts, which will show a sense of design and be different. If the clothing itself has no bright spots, we can also add some accessories to embellish it, such as necklaces, scarves or brooches, to make the finishing touch. However, it should be noted that it is enough to do only one main decoration, and remember that too much will be messy.

The big knot on the right belt is a whole change, and the bright silk scarf with diamond knot on the neck is a whole.
