For Photographers: How to Choose Photoshoot Dresses for Your Clients
Frequently asked questions you'll have to ask yourself as a photographer include, “What kind of dresses should we bring to a photoshoot? What sizes can we buy and how do I know the dresses will fit different body types? How many dresses do I need? How do I start a client closet if I don’t have thousands of dollars to spend?”
The answer to these questions can vary greatly depending on the type of photo shoot you're doing, the client you're working with, your overall style as a photographer.
In this post, we’ll explore practical tips for building a client closet without breaking the bank, as well as strategies for choosing the right dresses, sizes, and styles to ensure your clients feel comfortable and look amazing in the photo session.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the idea of creating an entire wardrobe, but you don’t need to go all-in at once. As you schedule more clients, add to your collection of basic products. You can gradually add new pieces that align with your brand’s aesthetic and accommodate various body shapes and fashion preferences.
In the beginning, start with quality over quantity. Invest in five to ten gowns that can fit multiple sizes, are neutral in color, and fit your photography style. You might add more dresses to your collection as your business expands and you discover what colors and styles your customers want. If your style changes or you have gowns that your clients don't want to wear, don't be afraid of selling or donating them.
If you're uncertain about specific body sizes, look for photoshoot dresses with adjustable features, such as maxi dresses, which can be a flowing style that can work across a range of sizes, empire waist dresses that work for a variety of body types and can be adjusted at the bust. Lace up back dress is also a perfect choice for photographers as the back laces can be tightened or loosened, they allow the dress to be easily adjusted to fit different body types.
