Business Portraits
Clothing for Small Groups
Small groups should choose simple garments within the same tonal ranges. When subjects appear in a mixture of light and dark tones together, there is visual confusion-as the light color comes forward, and the dark color recedes. When this happens, one person becomes dominant and appears heavier than in reality.
Clothing for Individuals
The goal of any fine portrait is to direct the viewer’s eye to the face's in the portrait. All other elements should be secondary. For individuals, simple long-sleeved garments in medium to dark tones of brown, gray, burgundy, green or blue are pleasing choices when photographed against a medium or dark background.
Because darker clothing is slimming, it is often a good choice for close-up, full-length or three-quarter-length portraits in which a medium to dark background is used. Bold stripes, plaids, checks and prints are visually distracting and do not photograph well. Bright colors, such as pink and orange, will overwhelm the face and ruin a portrait. Light colors that approximate flesh tones will overpower the face and make the subject look unusually pale.
