Being a photographer in Brisbane Australia, it can be hard to look fashionable when you're lugging around a ton of equipment and doing strange positions to get the right shots. So here are some ways you can look presentable, or possibly even fabulous, while you're working!
Camera bags that look like handbags: Yes, you can get camera bags with all the padded compartments and pockets that look like stylish handbags. They come in all colors, sizes and styles, so no matter how much equipment you have you can almost certainly fit it into one of these bags. Kelly Moore is a popular American supplier for stylish camera bags, and Camera Chick is a great supplier here in Australia.
Dresses that aren't too short or too long: The trick is to find the perfect work dress that doesn't fly up with a gust of wind and is not so long that you trip on it when you have to do crouching positions. A medium long dress that doesn't flash the guests when you bend over to take a wedding photo is great, and often you can find nice dresses like this at Target or Kmart.
Comfortable and nice footwear: Comfortable shoes are a must for any job, and especially days when you are on your feet for 8-10 hours. A nice pair a strappy sandals will do for a family shoot in the park, but for a wedding you will need something closed in that also looks dressy enough for a special occasion. Boots can be a great choice for the cooler months, and for beach weddings because they will keep out the sand.
Hair up: For us ladies our hair can easily get in the way when we are taking photos, especially if it's a little bit windy. That's why it's a good rule to always have your hair in a tail or an up-style for shoots and weddings to avoid any dramas. If you're not good at elaborate hairstyles, a great way to spruce up your look is to add a dressy headband to your ensemble; presto, you are wedding ready!
Nice non-restrictive coat: For a shoot or wedding you want to be able to move around freely, so it's not a great idea to wear anything too tight or restricting. A loose coat or jacket for the cooler months is a great way to layer your look and still look trendy.
