In short: Two looks maximum in an hour: one you feel unbeatable in, one a step further than usual. Solid over patterned, structure at the shoulder, and shoes you can walk in because half the frames involve movement.
Colour. Two looks maximum for an hour: one you already feel unbeatable in, and one a step further than you would normally risk. The second is where the interesting frames come from.
Fabric. Texture over pattern. A knit, a leather jacket, a heavy coat all give a camera something to hold onto; a busy print competes with your face.
Footwear. Something you can walk in, because movement frames are where a solo session stops being stiff.
The thing that ruins frames. Bringing six outfits to a one-hour booking. Each change costs ten minutes of shooting time and the last look always gets four frames.
In the bag. A lint roller, blotting papers, a comb, and the jacket you almost left behind — structure at the shoulder is the single most useful thing you can bring. A phone charger if the session runs on a timer and remote.
