Color might influence the way people respond to your photo, so it’s beneficial to choose your colors carefully. Simple, neutral tones might be best for professionals who want a minimalistic look in their headshots. Darker neutrals like brown, black, and navy are typically appropriate, as studio lights sometimes obscure light colors.
Bright, bold colors can be a way to capture people’s attention, especially in creative industries. You could also research which colors might compliment your skin, hair, and eyes on camera to ensure you look lively and alert in your headshot.
Solid is best, Black, Blue, Grey, White, and even Red. Ties, at least 2 to 3 to make sure it works well. Shirt collars should be clean and crisp. Layers are good, a jacket over a sweater, shirt or blouse. Even a fun jacket can work. Try to avoid busy patterns or tops with big shoulders and or a lot of fabric.
