When you go to a photography studio for a headshot session, you will need to bring your own outfits. You should bring two upscale outfits, two casual outfits in solid colors, and a business suit. Bright colors can distract from the model’s appearance, so we recommend bringing garments of darker colors. Look through a magazine and clip some of your favorite headshots; you can bring these to the photography studio to show your photographer what kind of look you want.
