One of the most common questions photographers receive ahead of a lifestyle or maternity shoot is "what color should I wear?" Sure, we've told you that solids photograph better than patterns, but what about the colors that are best to wear in each season?
Look no further. Below are some tips for picking the right color for your next photo shoot. Since Fall has arrived, let's start there!
Fall
Per Michael Kors, THE SIGNATURE color of Fall 2021 is Berry. It's very rich and it dazzles when it's contrasted by changing leaves and warm fall backdrops. In addition to Berry, here are some other colors to consider:
Rust or Burnt Orange
Mustard Yellow
Dark Purple
Navy
Dark Green
Browns
Beige
Spring
Pastel all day long because spring has sprung! For example:
Blush Pink
Aqua
Pale Peach
Soft Yellow
Baby Blue
Light Gray
Lavender
Summer
If there was ever a time to express yourself and celebrate the weather through bright, pops of colors, this is it. (Just to clarify, I am NOT talking about neon! Please put that away!) Showcase your personality through this color wheel:
Bright Orange
Bold Red
Magenta
Royal Blue
Turquoise
Yellow
White
Winter
When getting ready for that holiday photo, here are some great hues that blend beautifully with winter decor:
Ruby Red
Emerald Green
Creme
White
Black
Gray
Dark Purple
Midnight Blue
My final thought......while it's important to coordinate with other members participating in the shoot, wearing all same color can be just as distracting as too many patterns. Instead, try to select from the same color palette. And if you do end up wearing the same color as another person, have someone wearing another shade stand between you for balance.
Now go find YOUR SIGNATURE color!
