Amanda's Photography

Here are the essentials for your wardrobe.

  • Casual - blue jeans, sports & knit tops, button up tops, shorts, cutoff blue jeans, etc.
  • Business Suit - for a different look
  • Sports (exercise, uniforms, shorts, etc.) - If you plan to do some sports modeling
  • Swim wear - needs to be a bikini or one piece that really flatters you
  • Any props like hats, neckties, men's shirts, jackets, etc.
  • Hose/nylons in an assortment of colors
  • Socks in different colors including black and white
  • Bring several different bras including at least one push-up and one in flesh tone color (for glamour modeling)
  • A robe to wear between changes during the photo session
  • Bring a scarf to wear when changing to help keep makeup off client's and your clothing

 

Accessories for Your Model Photo Shoot

Along with each outfit, try to bring accessories which will accent or match the outfit. Keep accessories simple.

  • Assortment of necklaces
  • Earrings
  • Bracelets
  • Choker
  • Watch - You normally wouldn't wear a watch unless you are doing a photo where you will be looking at the time.
  • Rings - I know you love your rings but they can be distracting so do not wear them unless they add to the picture.

Shoes

As with accessories, shoes should match or accent the outfit. But, you can also think outside the box on the subject of footwear. For example; High heels have a totally different look with jeans or swim wear than with an evening dress.

  • Dress shoes - Bring several different pairs
  • High heels - Also an assortment
  • Jogging shoes - white
  • Boots or high heel boots
  • Sandals
