• WEAR MINIMUM JEWELRY – Too much jewelry draws attention away from the main face. Also, the same necklace or earrings should not be repeated in different shots.

• WEAR SOLID COLORS – Try and wear single colored clothes instead of printed ones. Prints look fussy and take attention away from the model.
• WEAR WELL-FITTED CLOTHES – The clothes you wear for a shoot should fit you perfectly – not too loose and not too tight. For example, swimsuits should have a snug fit, with no gaps showing when you move.
