I am a firm believer that the wardrobe you wear in your headshot photography session is very important. Too many headshot photographers will dismiss wardrobe as overrated or a distraction. They will tell you that people do not pay so much attention to your wardrobe, that people want to see your expression and how you connect with the “lens”. Yes your connection with the lens is extremely important but what you wear will help define your type. I am a strong believer that meticulous attention to wardrobe in your headshot session in Los Angeles is very important. Headshot photographers in Los Angeles who dismiss the importance of wardrobe selection are shortsighted and probably do not have the experience and knowledge to guide you when it comes to your wardrobe selection for your photo shoot. Make sure this important aspect of your headshot session comes up when you are initially speaking with a headshot photographer, if they brush off this important issue, to me this is a “red flag”.
