Styles of Photography and Clothing Tips for Your Session

At Richard’s Photography, we offer a range of portrait styles to suit your personality, career, and purpose. Whether you’re looking for clean corporate images, approachable personal branding portraits, or bold creative looks, your session is customized to bring out your best.

Classic Studio Images use controlled lighting and neutral backgrounds to keep the focus on you. These are ideal for LinkedIn profiles, corporate bios, law firms, medical professionals, and resumes. For these sessions, choose solid colors like navy, black, gray, or jewel tones. Avoid patterns or logos. A well-fitted blazer or professional dress goes a long way.

Lifestyle Branding Portraits are perfect for entrepreneurs, influencers, and creatives who want to showcase personality. These may be photographed outdoors or with natural light in casual or professional environments. Clothing can be more expressive—think stylish layers, textures, or branded colors that align with your website and social platforms.

Environmental Portraits are often done on location—offices, parks, city streets—adding a storytelling element to your image. These are excellent for small business owners, real estate professionals, and speakers. Dress in outfits that feel natural but polished. Shoes matter too—especially if we’re shooting full-length portraits.

Whatever style you choose, we’ll help guide wardrobe choices so that everything photographs beautifully and aligns with your professional identity. Our goal is to create images that are not only flattering but also feel like the best version of you.
