Hi Everyone

Just a quick question that I have wondered many times... Does anyone have any tips about the colour of clothing that works best in an outdoor situation. Someone says Dark, others say bright, some say really light. I know that it will depend on what the background is etc. I have been asked to photograph a family in a outdoor situation, they have asked what colours they should wear ?? Does anyone have any ideas ???

No camo. Thats nice for wildlife, hunting etc.:oops:
Black for studio as no reflections or colour bounce.;)
Outside people,
I wear colourful stuff with no logos that I can upply to my subjects in case they need a clothing change. I usually wear a vest for an emergency camera cover.:p


HEY! HO!

Duh....
I thought you meant what you should wear.
I should read posts more than once.
To answer your question, tell them to wear what they`re comfy in, and keep away from blacks and whtes unless they are persuing a look.
Suggest a selection of cloths if you dont do a pre production test.

There are 10 types of people that understand binary, those that can and those that can't.
