FAQ
What Is A 'Look' In Photography?
In photography, a ‘look’ refers to a distinct visual style or appearance achieved through various elements such as lighting and clothing. It represents a specific combination of these factors that contribute to the overall aesthetic of the photo.
During a photoshoot, changing your clothing can create a different look. Each time you switch your outfit, it results in a new and unique visual presentation, allowing for diverse and captivating images to be captured
What Should You Wear for a Photoshoot?
When it comes to clothing, it’s best to opt for something comfortable and relaxed. Solid colours are generally recommended, and if possible, it’s best to avoid wearing white as it can sometimes create an overexposed effect in the photos.
In terms of accessories, it’s advisable to either not wear any jewellery or keep it minimal. The focus should be on you and your natural appearance, so avoiding excessive or distracting accessories can help achieve that desired effect.

An unedited photo is a job half done.
