For a Slimmer Look . . .

- Outfits which divide the body vertically, have open neck lines, fit well through your midsection and in the shoulders.

- It is often a good idea to avoid horizontal strips and heavy fabrics.

- Low contrast horizontal stripes and heavy fabrics can work for those with small upper bodies.

 

Hair, Your Style . . .

- Avoid new hair styles, new hair cuts and hair styles which obscure your eyes.

- Guys, a close shave or freshly trimmed facial hair.

- Use a high protein conditioner and a light cream styler to smooth and control frizzy hair.

- We often use an " anti frizz polishing milk " in the studio.

 

Makeup Tips . . .

- Makeup; soft, natural, light.

- Our lighting & imaging systems are designed to eliminate low color saturation issues, often associated with portrait photography.

 

Photo Retouching . . .

- We have the ability take retouching to the next level, addressing: clothes, skin tones, tan lines, teeth whitening, & stray hair.

- A level of service in contrast to most portrait studios, which only offer a basic blur to disguise blemishes.

- Solid color & fitted attire, are keys to successfully sculpting the body for a slimmer look.

Attire Tips . . .

- Well tailored look with a flattering neck line.

- Fit through the shoulder and torso is most important.

- Solid colors, well tailored attire; are most forgiving.

- Simple, sharp, elegant: accessorize sparingly & tastefully.

 

Attire, Neck Lines . . .

- Wider neck-lines create the perception of a longer neck.

- Deeper and wider V-neck outfits create the perception of a slimmer body.

- Avoid bulky scarves, cowl neck sweaters, or high neck-lines.

- High collars create the perception of a shorter neck or even the dreaded " no neck " look.

 

Eye Glasses . . .

- Avoid photo-chromatic lenses; lenses which adjust to light intensity.

- Bifocals and high magnification lenses introduce significant distortions.

 

Options . . .

- Love an outfit which seems to defy these principles; bring it as an alternative.

- Low contrast horizontal stripes and heavy fabrics can work for those with small upper bodies.

- We can test quickly; today's imaging technologies provide instant results.
