Summing up the tips

Choosing your perfect outfit for the shoot depends upon the type of modeling you are hoping and conceiving to pursue like a commercial, fashion, street, etc. Modeling photography agencies want their models to shoot mostly not in the flashy or colorful clothes, as the focus of such shooting is on the model, showing off their frames and how the model look. These modeling photographers have no intention of promoting the clothing brand, print or patterns (unless contracted for same). Oversized clothes and jewelry are a big no. Always remember to bring a lot of extra pairs of clothes to your modeling shoot. An entire portfolio with the same two or three outfits would not look appealing, and a lot of pictures means a lot of changes in clothing.

An only well-lit photography site can create the desired effect, so ask your photographer to keep the set the same way. Get your photographs clicked all-colored which you can later get edited to Black and white effect using photography tools.
