A great headshot is very important to every professional. A series of experiments by Princeton psychologists Janine Willis and Alexander Todorov reveal that all it takes is a tenth of a second to form an impression of a stranger from their face (!). A photo can say a thousand words and every professional needs to put the right image out there.

Director and Writer Jag wanted to channel her strength during her Personal Branding Session. We designed her Session with wardrobe that highlights that beautifully. Red and black were an obvious choice as well as confident posing and expressions.

Those who have already been photographed by me know that I always encourage people to bring at least one white clothing item to a Session. Some people love wearing white and some have NEVER worn it and are quite reluctant to be captured in white.
Here are 5 reasons why I love photographing people in white:
1. It is modern yet timeless
A crisp white outfit has the air of freshness that looks beautiful in photographs. It is edgy yet it never goes out of style! A great combination of contemporary and classic.
Anchelaa Thiru, Transformation Coach
2. It is a perfect canvas to tell the story of who you are
Whether you are wearing white for a Personal Branding or Portrait Session, it will not take the focus away from you. Instead the focus of the photograph will simply be You – your expression and smile, your personality and your story.
Nancy Miller, Marketing Planning Expert
Daniel Pillai, Media Personality
3. It works with all skin colours
White compliments all skin colours beautifully. Although some people would argue it looks better with more tan, proper lighting by your Photographer will ensure white looks gorgeous even with pale skin.

Tracy Peart, Citytv Make-up Artist
4. It is flattering - if your Photographer knows how to pose you properly
Many people only like wearing dark colours for Photo Sessions, because they feel they are not very fit at the moment. Unless you are a model, it is not your job to pose yourself in the most flattering way. It is your Photographer's job to guide you through posing and to make you look your best - in white as well!
Tricia Aneesa, Real Estate Agent
Laura De Sanctis, Nutritionist
5. It is very easy to integrate images with dominating white into any type of design
White is a great colour to wear during a Personal Branding Session. Those images have to work well with different types of design. Images with dominating white are easy to integrate into your website, your social media, business cards, fliers and pamphlets, magazine advertisement etc. You will not be stuck after having a Session with images that do not fulfill your needs!
Anchelaa Thiru, Transformation Coach
I hope I have convinced you to bring at least one white outfit to your next Session! Until then...
