Let the brief decide
Follow explicit outfit and footwear instructions first. For an open-ended request, choose clean clothing that fits comfortably and suits the activity. Avoid a complicated costume unless it is requested. Test whether the clothes let you sit, walk or move as the scene requires.
Test the outfit on camera
Look for busy patterns, strong reflections and a background that blends into the fabric. Record a short movement test and examine the framing. A garment that works in a mirror may look different under your recording light. Keep one practical alternative ready.
Record a repeatable look
Use VIPCasting Look Passport to note the outfit, background and light for a consistent series. Photograph the setup for your own reference. Choose a look that represents you now; save dramatic styling experiments for the part of your portfolio that needs them.
