First about the taboos, i.e. what is prohibited:
1. Un-ironed, worn or unwashed items;
2. Clothes with large inscriptions or logos;
3. Items that do not match each other in style or color.

Here it is worth explaining that everyday, comfortable items at a photo shoot may look too simple and not match the decorations of the photo studio or the idea for the shoot.

For girls

Jeans and a T-shirt (unless a stylist picked them out for you) are not very good. Trousers and a blouse are also good. But a blouse with a skirt is better. Try to choose solid-colored clothes, without patterns and decorative folds. Dresses - yes! A business suit is great in many situations. A bodysuit, sports or classic underwear is also great. Try not to wear clothes with small stripes or checks - in photos they can give a moire effect. Also, don't forget about shoes and accessories - they should match the clothes. For inspiration, you can google what "Women's casual" or "Smart casual" looks like, "Sport chic", "Women's classic", "English style", "Vintage", "Boho", "Garson". Glasses, hats or handbags as accessories go well with many looks. Makeup, nails, eyebrows and hair are a must. Where there should not be any excess - hair removal.

For men

I think that the most advantageous images are classic or casual. Yes, we men are always beautiful, even in an alcoholic T-shirt at the kitchen table, but still.. You will have to prepare for the photo shoot! Go to Google.Images, type in "Men's classic" or "Men's casual" and you will understand what it looks like. All kinds of T-shirts and sportswear are not at all cool. Shorts also do not look very good in most cases. It is advisable to choose things without patterns, otherwise it will give off a slight gypsy vibe) Trousers, shirt, shoes - super. If you add a jacket with a tie - doubly super. Jeans and a matching jacket are also fashionable now. By the way, jeans with a leather jacket or denim jacket are an option. Turtlenecks also look pretty good. Don't forget that shoes and accessories should match your clothes. Combing your hair and shaving are not clothes, but it's also important not to forget.

There is always an exception to every rule, and I'm not a stylist, so everything described above is universal recommendations, which will work in most situations, so take them seriously. And don't forget - I'm a photographer, I'll take a picture of you in any clothes and without them, but whether you like the photos or not depends on you too.

For everyone

In a photo studio, shoes should be clean, i.e. not the ones you came in, but changeable ones. This may seem funny, but it needs to be mentioned - never come to a photo shoot with a hangover!

I hope that I was able to help and that my article was useful to you. Have a nice day, friends!)
