Every single time, the stress accompanying the photoshoot goes away about 30 minutes into the experience and what remains are the countless benefits!

The key to this pose is knowing how to position your hands.

1. A Blazer

A good quality, tailored blazer is such a statement piece and it can be styled many ways. Remember to avoid low quality and shiny fabrics.

2. A Shirt

Go as professional, timeless or creative as you want with a shirt!

3. Casual Outfit

Just because you’re a professional, it doesn’t mean you need to wear a suit for your Brand Photoshoot. If you work in a casual or creative setting, it’s totally ok to go with a casual outfit.

4. Fitted Sweater + Shirt

I’ve always loved this outfit, because it’s such a good combination of professional and casual.

5. Blazer + T-Shirt

Perhaps one of my favorite business casual outfits, it’s so modern!
