How Clothing Affects Perception

Your attire should reflect your industry, be well-fitted, and avoid busy patterns. Solid, neutral colors convey trust—think blues, whites, or earth tones. A crisp shirt, tailored blazer, or tidy top keeps the focus on your face. Avoid large accessories or logos in professional headshots.

Grooming Tips for Camera Readiness

• Neatly trim facial hair or go clean-shaven before the shoot.

• Style hair away from the forehead for clear facial framing.

• Use subtle makeup for even skin tones, if desired.

• Check for flyaways or lint before snapping photos.
