Staying neutral in a bedroom or studio setting keeps the photos simple and soft with more focus on the connection between the subjects. Brighter, more neutral-colored clothing on the other hand ALWAYS does the trick. Too much black creates more contrast in photos, which inhibits the light and airy aesthetic we’re going for. I always advise clients to stay away from blacks and dark denim. Neutrals are always our friend – creams, beiges, greys, pale blushes are just a few color palettes that can significantly enhance photos and achieve this bright and airy aesthetic. Helping your clients with wardrobe and accessories is one more step you can take as a photographer to bring those images to life. The lack of clutter also prevents any distraction and zeroes in on the subject(s) and the connection they exhibit. These simple steps can make a world of difference in your photos. If you’re getting photos taken at home, make sure your end tables are tidy, beds are made and mirrors are cleaned. While we are not striving for perfection, it’s important to declutter your session setting.
