Tips for appearing on camera

April 23, 2007 by Kim 

When you’re in front of the video camera, you want to look your best. Here’s some tips on what clothing looks best on video:

  • Wear pastels, beige, green, brown, and/or blue.
  • Avoid wearing red or orange clothing. They sometimes “bleed” on television.
  • Avoid wearing contrasting light and dark colors, such as black and white, dark brown and white, and dark blue and white.
  • Wear black, dark brown, or blue alone or with pastel colors.
  • Avoid fine checks, stripes, and similar patterns. Solid colors work best.
  • Avoid metallic, sequined, or glossy clothing.
  • Avoid wearing shiny jewelry because it reflects too much light.
  • Avoid wearing a white shirt because it will reflect too much light.
