WHAT TO WEAR?
Jun 12, 2018 09:00:23 #
Normally I have a 'uniform' thought out in advance - dependent on the gig, it's usually comfortable, yet stylish pants with some sort of top that isn't too busy or a flowy dress. However, I have been thinking a lot lately about a simple t-shirt with my business logo on it - I have attached an example here to give you a visual...
What are your thoughts? What types of events would you say it is NOT appropriate for?

Speaking as a man, a suit or sport jacket is very adaptable to a wide range of situations. For a women, I would not pick one look. If you are doing a corporate job for a conservative company, a t-shirt might not be appropriate. If it is a kid's birthday party, that is completely different. I would not ware a t-shirt if I were photographing a formal wedding any more then I would ware formal attire for a product shoot. A logo shirt or blouse is fine in many situations, but I would say the number one rule is to consider the norms of your client and dress accordingly.

For most scenarios I would suggest a polo type shirt with logo and khakis - this for both men and women (coming from a customer service background, this is usually always acceptable and professional) Weddings however, I would dress more formally.

Classy black pants, and a nice black top, not a t-shirt unless it's a corporate casual. Could be black lace if dressy.

Strange, it showed the file when I created the post. This is my first time posting here, so I apologize.

When I was shooting weddings, it never occurred to me to wear anything other than a suit to look appropriate for the occasion. The only time I wore casual was if I was going up in a plane for an aerial shoot but that would be an obvious choice as I didn't care if I impressed the Cessna pilot or not. Of course I'm an old fogie and today's standards have changed so much. However, I think the least would be business casual, slacks or skirt and an appropriate top, not a T-shirt. You could have your logo or company info tastefully imprinted on a Polo but not so large as to be "in your face." As a photographer, I never drew attention to myself other than to give direction.

You cannot go wrong wearing all black. And as a CLient, I would consider a T-shirt too casual unless you are photographing a mud wrestling match.

I am not sure how the audience might take it if I wore a flowy dress. Just sayin'

Guess it depends upon the age of your customers and the occaision.
In Catering 'black and white' is the general rule 'in house' but anything goes on the street stalls or outside bar-b-q's. As a Local Councillor 'smart' generally meant suit and tie (female equivalent). When I'm gardening/painting/woodworking then I am in 'T'shirt and clean jeans and safety boots.
Part of the 'impact' of being a proffessional is having the 'correct' dress.Looking the part IS important. You want people to take you seriously for the work you are doing.
Creating 'outstanding' images is better than being 'standing out' in a crowd.
Have fun

Unless you're the CEO of a big company wearing T shirt for work in a pleasant environment is not nice.

Black clothing seems to be a bit of a uniform, announcing that you are at work and not a guest with an expensive hobby.
