Going to be a bit transparent here.
I've never been the most photogenic guy unless it was in action shot photos for my athletics.
I'm doing my first photo shoot next Saturday and the photographer basically told me that I need to bring up to three different outfits. To be honest I'm freaking out a little bit because I have no idea what constitutes is a good picture. I know the photographer is supposed to make me look good but I feel a sense of responsibility to be able to dress myself to make his job easier.
So I'm just looking for some ideas on what you guys think would be possibly four good outfits for me.
The first thing I did was get on Google and get some ideas lol. Then I went to the tailor and had them take in my suit jacket and taken the legs in my pants to make them slimmer.
If it helps I am African American and I am about 5'10 with long legs. I am a former track athlete and fighter so it is very difficult for me to find clothes that fit me off the rack because of my athletic proportions. And admittedly I am just now learning the importance of a tailor hahaha.
Lastly I went on men's wearhouse's website and they had a deal on dress shirts so I bought six of different colors. I've got a ton of pants and I've got a gang of stuff in my closet that I haven't even wore yet lol.
What I am thinking is I will wear the suit for one set of pictures.... Then something somewhat business casual for the second set of pictures.... The photographer also told me to have some kind of leisure clothing and something I would go out in at night possibly but I have no idea as to what that would be as I am kind of an introvert.
Lastly I am thinking about buying some clear frame lenses to accent the outfits but I'm not really sure where that stands in the fashion world hahaha.. So just looking for some ideas and I am willing to share with you what I have so far if you need more details..
I appreciate your time and I thank you for allowing me to share my journey.
