What should I wear for my headshot? That's probably the most asked question when someone makes an appointment to be photographed. The answer is of course, it depends. If you are a business person you might want to consider a dark jacket with a shirt or blouse that is muted in color. If you're an actor or model you might want to wear a dark long sleeve t-shirt.
From the photographers point of view, anything that takes away from the face weakens your presence in the photograph. This means no wild patterns, no loud colors and little to none when it comes to jewelry. When I think about photographs of the people I know and love my one question for them is; "what are you going to say about this photo 25 years from now?" Modern, cool styles today could look outdated and silly in a year, let alone 25 years from now. Classic will always last. There may be thinner or thicker ties, there may be larger or smaller lapels, but in general you will probably look back and think that John Craig took a pretty good picture of me.
When you come to me for a photography, let me help. The last thing I want you to do in the future is say "WHAT WAS I THINKING?"
