Suggestions for Commissioning a Portrait
What to Wear and the Setting
There are no hard and fast rules; however, avoid garish colors and loud prints. Neutral tones such as black, brown, white, cream, burgundy and beige will not be tiring to the eye. Also, choosing clothes with a classic style will insure that your portrait will not later look dated. For children, Strasberg type clothes are very popular for children`s portraits. You can check out some of their clothing selection at
Strasberg Children
Consider your lifestyle and where the portrait will hang in making the choice of a formal or informal look. Though outdoor portraits are normally considered less formal, there are some that are actually quite formal. Conversely, an indoor portrait could be quite casual. It`s a combination of factors, including the clothing, setting, and character of the subject.
