Dress to impress
How you dress can communicate a lot so a rule of thumb is to wear something that represents who you are, unless you are trying to embody a casting type where you may want to find an outfit which will enhance the type of roles in which you are looking to go for. Always bring a few clothing options on the day so we can take pictures will the best ones.
STYLING TIPS
- Choose tones which accentuate your eye and skin colour
- Substitute black with darker neutrals like chocolate, navy, maroon and forest green.
- Mid- tone colours in blue, green, wine and purple because they are universally flattering.
- Most importantly: dress in a way that is comfortable for you, and which represents who you are.
TRY TO AVOID
- Avoid flesh tones - they tend to blend into your face.
- Use black or white with caution
- Minimal statement jewellery which can date photos and distract from your face.
- Avoid tops which are too low cut as they can distract from your face.
- Crinkly and wrinkled tops.
