Question

I am taking them with my boyfriend they are marternity photos.

Answer 1

Modern black and white films are incredibly sharp. Make sure whatever you were is lint free becuase it really shows up.

Answer 2

I have always thought that black and light colored (white, khaki) clothing look best in black and white photos. Go for natural with the makeup. The black/white contrast will emphasize the fact that you are wearing excessive makeup if you do too much.

Check out this photographer's website: http://www.kellyjackson.com/families.asp

She does a lot of black/white photography, and you can get some good ideas of what looks good in that type of photography.

Have fun!

Answer 3

Surprisingly I think that the best colors to wear for black and white photos are black and white. Or any simple colors, like cream color or soft browns. That's because black and white photos are usually soft so if you continue the flow you'll get the best out of the picture.

As for makeup it depends but since they are maternity photos go for something soft and natural. Think neutrals. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

you will need heeavier than usual makeup for black and white photos because they emphasize blemishees on your skin. Clothes wise, I like black pants with a bold color flowing top. That wawy you will see the contrast in the photo. Just make sure to smile and fell happy!

Answer 5

The best look for the white and black photos is to
dress something which is too simple ,,so that's mean dress wisely,,but regarding make-up
my advise is to put heavy one cause light absorb colours and also white and black photos didn't show that u are really putting a heavy make-up.

Answer 6

Makeup wise, you can layer on the makeup because black and white photos will blend all of the tones together. red lipstick will make your lips stand out really well. I would use a light eyeshadow (frosty white or pink) and a black eyeliner to make your eyes noticeable.

Answer 7

Anything black and whilte for clothes then hair put it in a fancy bun the put black and clear butterfly or flower clips in. Makeup- go casual.

Answer 8

Answer 10

For clothes, choose solid colors that have good contrast with your skin. For example, if you are dark-skinned, choose a light-colored shirt. If you are light-skinned, go with a darker-colored shirt. Solid colors will look best (no patterns/prints/words/etc.)
