It's time for graduation and time for senior portraits. You've ordered your senior class ring, your graduation invitations so, what's next? Well, graduation portraits of course! Oh, what to wear. You get all excited and rake through your closet pulling out outfit after outfit and shirt after shirt, pants after pants wondering what to wear. It's really not that hard.
Take your skin tone for instance.
If you are light skinned you want darker clothing like deep reds, deep blues even blacks. This will bring your skin and eyes out of the photographs. If you are medium to darker skin then the colors you need are brighter reds, brighter blues and some brighter greens. By all means necessary please stay away from white or pastel type colors. These colors can leave your facial features lifeless and can lead to a disappointing portrait session.
Do you want to know for sure if your clothing is suitable and matches your complexion? Just hold that shirt or blouse under your chin and look under the mirror and determine if the garment you're holding compliments your face and eyes or does it compete or take over. These small details can make or break your portrait session.
Clothing is very important for a successful senior portrait session. You only graduate once in your lifetime so taking an extra 30 minutes to 1 hour choosing the right clothes and clothing colors for your senior pictures is nothing compared to a lifetime of regrets and disappointment. Be sure to bring a brush with you as being outside for your senior portraits the wind elements can play a factor in blowing your hair around. You don't want stray hairs around your face or fly away hair sticking up all over the place. Girls, we know most of you wear make-up so be sure to bring your powder with you to avoid costly retouching fees to get those shiny spots off of your face and nose area.
