WHAT TO WEAR - PORTRAIT SHOOT

Choosing the right attire will invariable make a difference to any on location shoot. Hear are a few pointers:

Try to wear only comfortable clothes. Clothes that fit and do not restrict movement or cause discomfort, especially shoes, as walking on rough or sandly surfaces may be required.

On the beach bare-foot is best.

Dress for the weather. And also be aware how your hair and makeup will react with the weather as well. Could it rain? What's the chance of having a windy evening?

Will the sun be hot?

Be aware of how many people will be in the portrait and try to compliment each other's attire without to much clashing colours or designs.

Remember photos should last a lifetime while fashions can come and go. Try to keep it simple and elegant. Try to keep to few colours. Black can work but pale light colours are best. White should be avoided, if possible. Also neutral greys and browns can work as well. 

Another great point to remember is to minimise unnecessary "luggage". Try to avoid bringing your mobile phone, bag with an assortment of emergency remedies, such as makeup, brush. If your hair blows about in the wind, great!

Above all, remember that it not the heat, wind or threat of rain that will dampen your photos it is how you react to it that will make the difference.
