Most people will see your professional photos before they meet you face-to-face and therefore your wardrobe in professional photos is an important part of making a great first impression.
Dress for the job you want
… a piece of advice…
Do you want to be manager? Look around you, look on role models among managers and see their style.
Do you want to work for company with dress-code, e.g. airlines with blue uniform? Dress yourself into blue uniform.
Do you want to show your creative site? Dress casually, adding your signature into the clothes or accessories.
Do you want a job in customer service or call centre? Why not to have a photo with headset on.
Do you run own business? Let´s take a photo in your business reality.

Company would be able to imagine you as right fit into their organization already from the first meeting.

Few more tips for your upcoming Professional Photo photo-session in my studio :
Avoid distracting colors, e.g. neon, bright red, pink, green and heavy patterns and prints
Choose contrasting color to your skin, so you don´t look nude and fade. Both, lighter and darker is good.
For office people, best is to stick to formal options like blouses, shirts, suits, ties, etc.
Bring wrinkle-free clothes, or you can iron them in my studio
Bring multiple clothes options
Are you business owner ?
Get a headshots of you and your staff - your personality and professionalism should shine through in your personal branding photos so potential clients can get to know you before they even meet you.
Get a team photo - Showing team dynamics and specific expertise is a huge credibility builder with potential clients
Get your product captured in professional way - If your business is conducted almost exclusively online, it’s even more important to capture your products in the best possible light since customers can’t physically interact with them before purchasing.
Add photos in actions a.k.a behind scene
Show interior and exterior of your place - when potential clients can get a sense of your space and environment, they’re more likely to trust you and gain confidence in your ability to serve them.
