Basic white and basic black – OK in concept but the pure white will invite blown-out sections of the photo, and the opposite with black, invites intense dark area on the left of the histagram. Just IMHO. For the fail safe, I would pick a beige on the lighter end, and a grey or dark blue on the other end. I just think blacks and whites remove some of the photographer's options depending on the lighting at the location.
All the outfits are really ugly lol
Love your work Sal !
First let me say I love these guys BUT I think a person's personal preference when they come to you for pictures can be insulted when you say you don't like something is refuse to shoot especially if it's a colors or patterns. Sometimes as photographers we get so technical that we forget about the memories that they are trying to capture. I LOVE looking at old pictures of myself and what I used to wear, I'm glad I didn't have the perfect hair or outfit, it's makes me laugh and reminisce. Stop being so calculated and let them have their moment in TEAL and LUMBER JACK SHIRTS. FYI I hate the lumber jack shirt also but I will shoot it, if that's what was special to them.
