Chapter 9. Styling Difficult Features
If you’re looking through the pages of GQ and Esquire or websites like Uncrate (www.uncrate.com) and Jackthreads (www.jackthreads.com) for styling inspiration, they’ll provide you with great styling advice for one body type: the fit athletic male model. The reality is that you’ll be introduced to many other body types as a photographer. Not every one of your clients will be extremely fit and toned. Subjects will range from extremely thin to extremely large, and that’s perfectly okay. You can still use those resources as inspiration, but with small changes you’ll be able to better flatter every body type.
