What to wear for the cameras

What looks good in real life is very different than what looks good on camera, either photos or movies.

Photos and video are important because we are visual creatures. News article with a photo is much more likely to read, and the stories of television without a good eye opener memories are transformed into two short sentences buried in the rule or.

It is also important to work with the TV news because many people rely on their primary source of news, whether print, radio, Internet and television. If you are not on the TV news that you are not present in large parts of the population.

1) What to wear and not wear

Wear solid. The stripes, houndstooth and other models seem strange and cause a moiré effect.

Avoid pure black or white. Go with neutral colors or pastels. The camera increase contrast. White TV can dazzle the viewer. Black and navy are as dark as midnight. Stick to softer colors.

Make sure your clothes are comfortable. Wearing a suit who hate you do not take, because you think it looks good. If you feel uncomfortable, it will show on your face and body language.

Avoid blind or dangly jewelry, and if you wear contact lenses or glasses to keep the contacts. Glasses reflect the bright lights.

The use of knee socks. If not, the skin will appear when you cross your legs.

Make-up is smart, even for men. Ask for help.

One would think that it goes without saying, but I must say: no use Levi, shorts, sweatshirts, flannel shirts with suspenders, shirts or buttons with political messages or something. Videos of journalists and public figures with leisure suits and huge favorites in the 1970s are still in circulation. This is not enough.

Treat it like a job interview and dress like one.

2) What to wear?

Take a few different outfits for every photo shoot or a TV interview. Perhaps the dark purple color you used is an exact match for the background and you look like a floating head. Have better options.

Wear a scarf. The lights are hot and sweaty. Bring a comb is what he used hair care products.

Bring a bag - or a trusted person - to hold your keys, wallet, cell phone and car. They do not want to in the pockets that are beginning to create an awkward bulge when sitting or ringing in the middle of a firefight.

3) What to do

Act natural. The two errors are easier to smile all the time or freeze.

Use small gestures; what you can do on TV or in a photo shoot was magnified by the lens. Suppose you are around all the time, and often visited.

Please practice the day before. Wear what you wear, and someone make a movie while to ask questions. They are things in the perspective of practice, and you'll notice a few things you want to do often want to set.
