Styling Your Subject

Styling your subject is an essential part of shaping the story you want your photographs to tell. Wardrobe, accessories, colour choices, and textures all work together to influence mood and tone long before you press the shutter. The right outfit can enhance confidence, create movement, or introduce visual harmony with the environment. Even small adjustments—rolling a sleeve, lifting a collar, adding a layered piece—can dramatically refine the final look.

Good styling isn’t about perfection; it’s about intention. When you collaborate with your subject to choose clothing that suits their personality and complements your creative vision, you create portraits that feel cohesive, expressive, and visually memorable.
