Remember Mad Men? Great set + great clothing = great presentation. It doesn’t get better than that. (And in case you’re wondering, the photo is ©The Barbie Collection… Click here if you’d like to purchase.) However, in “real life”, there are some simple guidelines to dressing for a portrait. Whether your company is a hip internet startup or a national conglomerate or traditional oil & gas, the following applies: 1.  If necessary, get a haircut the week before (and don’t forget to touch-up color). This applies to both men and women. 2.  Don’t have a facial within 48 hours of a shoot… Your skin will be too red, and facials, more often than not, result in breakouts. 3.  Wear clothes you’re comfortable in but that fit well and aren’t old and worn. Make sure said clothes are appropriate for the “look” and “feel” your company wants to convey. 4.  Don’t wear super-bright colors or bold, fussy patterns. 5.  Wear colors that are mid to dark tones and don’t wear white shirts unless they are under a suit. Color matters.

About Susan Goddard

Officially, Susan Goddard Photography creates dryer-fresh advertising, corporate and editorial imagery for advertising agencies, design firms, magazines, and corporations, both public and private.

Unofficially, I've lived in the USA for 30+ years after narrowly escaping a rainy future in England. I can discuss American politics but not English ones, unless you count the politics of the school playground. I love chess. I've won one lottery (although there was no cash involved, just an elusive Green Card). I play six-degrees-of-separation for fun and find that in Denver, it's usually only two or three degrees (even if it's the President or a Hollywood movie star and sometimes it's one and the same). I have seen one low-flying, UFO in broad daylight. I am completely in love with my dog, Bodhi, who lives up to his name in every way (a being of wisdom and enlightenment). I am bummed (how's that for eloquence) that neither DaVinci or Einstein are still anchored to Terra Firma because I'd love to meet them, sit around a fountain somewhere (hopefully with an Americano in hand) and ask them what their take is on "Life, The Universe and Everything"... (Thank you Douglas Adams.) I love "Game of Thrones", "Homeland" and all things "Shameless". And I love being in the business of photography.
