Matching Clothing.
November 11th, 2007
Tempted to wear matching clothing out to your next photo shoot? Look above and think twice. That was from a 1970’s JC Penney catalogue. 37 years later, we still see couples and families dressing in matching attire for their photo sessions.
While it is still acceptable to wear matching clothes for your shoot, you miss the opportunity to express your individuality and personality. Wardrobe is a BIG part of any good photo-shoot. The clothing you wear, makes a statement about you. Matching outfits say, “We’re together.” Instead, how about a statement that tells the world who you are?
If you’re appearing in a photo with someone else, by all means, coordinate your clothing, but think twice about matching outfits and make sure it’s what you’re going for.

Coordinating clothing may look far better than matching patterns. For example, overlooking the clash of someone wearing stripes and another wearing plaid would be a big mistake. Make sure to plan.

That is an awesome photo! Matching shirts remind me of high school dances, definitely not something to do for a photo shoot.
