Styling guide
Quick answer: Choose solid, deep colours over prints, coordinate the group rather than matching it, and pick outfits that fit properly at the shoulders and waist. Avoid logos, fine stripes and neon. Bring safety pins, a comb, and shoes you can walk in.
More shoots are let down by clothing than by light. This is the guidance we send clients before every session — maternity, family, pre-wedding or ceremony — written for what actually happens on camera rather than what looks good on a hanger.
Prints compete with the face. One patterned piece per group, maximum.
Maroon, emerald, indigo, mustard. They survive both bright sun and evening light.
Two or three colours across everyone, not the same shirt on four people.
A well-fitted ₹1,500 kurta photographs better than an ill-fitted designer piece.
They moiré on camera and cannot be fixed in editing.
They date the photograph and pull the eye.
A jacket, dupatta or shawl gives the frame depth that a flat T-shirt cannot.
Formal silk in a garden reads odd; casual denim in a palace reads odder.
Half of a shoot is seated. Anything that rides up or creases badly will show.
Especially for outdoor locations. Bring the pretty pair for the standing frames only.
Creases are the single most common retouching request and the most avoidable.
Every change costs twenty minutes of the best light. Two is the right number for a half-day.
Warm earth tones and deep jewel colours flatter most South Asian skin tones in the warm, low light of golden hour. Pale pastels and white can wash out in bright sun and go grey at blue hour. If you love pastels, shoot them indoors in window light rather than at noon outdoors.
Pick a three-colour palette and let each person choose within it. Everyone in identical white shirts reads as a stock photo; everyone in clashing prints reads as noise. One person can wear the boldest colour and become the visual anchor — usually the person the photographs are about.
Makeup for photography should be slightly stronger than daily wear but never matte-heavy — flat skin looks lifeless on camera. Plan for hair and makeup to finish twenty minutes before the shoot's start time, because it never does, and that buffer is the difference between catching golden hour and missing it.
