When shooting weddings I only wear black cargo pants and work out of them all day long. When not in cargo pants I tend to wear Sorel carpenter pants or Columbia cotton cargo pants. These pants have pen pockets and a small cargo pocket which I can place small items in. I have taken business trips for meetings around the world in Sorel carpenter pants, a button up shirt and a light weight sport jacket. It was comfortable, practical, presentable and professional and it worked for me. <BR/><BR/>Can you wear jeans? I know some very high end corporate photographers who seem to only wear Levi's jeans and it works for them. I also know corporate photogs who always wear a tie and a jacket...............so it is up to you to know the needs and parameters of your clients needs, expectations and your personal comfort level with your professional appearance. <BR/><BR/>Sorry there is no concrete answer on this subject. <BR/><BR/>Happy Flying<BR/><BR/>-Fishflyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-80768884631882072192008-02-03T08:23:00.000-08:002008-02-03T08:23:00.000-08:00Thanks Fish, I appreciate your taking the time to ...Thanks Fish, I appreciate your taking the time to respond. A follow-up if I may; what are your thoughts about wearing clean good looking Levis' jeans? I prefer Levis 501 to Dockers or cargo pants, do you think jeans are acceptable to clients like yours?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-51314730369127426742008-02-03T00:43:00.000-08:002008-02-03T00:43:00.000-08:00Thanks for the question and the topic.

As a professional each photog should know what works for them and their environment. Even while shooting very high end subjects, such as CEOs of companies like Microsoft, Sony and IBM I have shown up in clean cargo pants and a button up shirt. This, to me, is a clean presentable outfit, that still leaves me unincumbered by a tie or jacket when working. Knowing that even in the best of cases, I may end up laying in the grass of hanging off the roof of a building I never wear dress pants. I am not in these CEOs offices, or meetings, to show off my wardrobe, I am there to create images of these people.<BR/><BR/>In short, dress clean, neat, professionally and act respectfully and professionally and you'll be fine.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sorry this was not a more detailed response, but it works for me. <BR/><BR/>Happy Flying!<BR/><BR/>-Fishflyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-45122661964615198322008-02-02T21:33:00.000-08:002008-02-02T21:33:00.000-08:00Great blog Fish.

I hope this is not too off topic for serious consideration. Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
