Reflect Pictures Style Guide
At Reflect Pictures, our goal is to capture the real you—your personality, your story, and your essence. While what you wear plays a role in your photos, it’s not the star of the show—you are.
This guide isn’t about creating a “perfect” look or shopping for a new wardrobe. It’s about feeling your best in what you already love and feeling comfortable enough to let your true self shine. When you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows in every shot.
So, let’s keep it simple, fun, and most importantly—authentic. We’re here to help guide you, but the most important thing is that you show up as you. The real you is exactly who we want to see in front of the lens.
1. Explore Double Exposure/ Film Options
Choose outfits that reflect your personality and make you feel your best. If you have a favorite piece that always makes you feel amazing, bring it! There’s no need to buy something new—what matters is that you feel at ease and true to yourself.
3. Coordinate for Group Sessions
For group photos, coordinating colors—not matching outfits—creates harmony while allowing individual personalities to shine. Neutral tones, soft pastels, or complementary color palettes work beautifully. Avoid overly busy patterns to keep the focus on the group connection.
5. Accessorize with Personality
Accessories like hats, jewelry, or statement pieces can help tell your story. Props that are meaningful to you—whether it’s a guitar, a favorite book, or something tied to your profession—can add depth and make the session uniquely yours.
7. Blur on Purpose
Classic, understated outfits tend to age well in photos. Avoid logos or trendy items that might feel dated in a few years.
10. Trust Your Gut
At the end of the day, you know what makes you feel amazing. Trust your instincts, and if you’re unsure, bring a few options to the session. We’re here to help guide you!
2. Patterns and Stripes: Use Sparingly
While bold patterns, small prints, and stripes can add visual interest, they can also be tricky on camera. If you love a patterned piece, pair it with solid colors for balance.
4. Layers and Versatility
Layering is a great way to achieve multiple looks during your session without needing a full outfit change. Jackets, cardigans, scarves, or even a simple button-up over a T-shirt can add variety and depth to your images.
6. Comfortable Footwear Matters
If your session involves walking or outdoor locations, make sure to wear shoes you can move in easily. Bringing a backup pair of comfortable shoes is always a good idea!
8. Dramatic Angles / Lines
Whether you go for a professional look or a natural vibe, keep your hair and makeup true to your everyday style. If you’re planning a haircut or color, schedule it at least a week before your session so it feels natural by the shoot day.
9. B-Roll
Consider where your photos will be taken and dress accordingly. For outdoor sessions, earthy tones or flowing fabrics can work beautifully, while bold colors or tailored outfits might shine in an urban or studio setting.
11. Final Thoughts
Your session is a collaborative experience, and what you wear plays a role in telling your story. When you feel good in what you’re wearing, that confidence shines through in your photos. We can’t wait to work with you and capture your unique spirit!
