Fit check for professional photos
I work in private practice and I am taking professional photos for the website. I'm aiming for approachable with hints of refined taste. Here are some options I've thought of. I recently acquired the corduroy blazer and tried to match it with garments that I have based on what I've seen in photos. The shawl collar is my attempt at a bit of a casual look. The last photo has the top button open and the tie loose. I am very much open to advice and insight and I am not firm on any of the outfits. Appreciate the help.

what is the scale of the picture (full-body, waist height, chest height, portrait)?
To be determined by the photographer. I think I will ask for at least 1 headshot/portrait and I’d like to have some photos at a desk and/or couch. I don’t anticipate many full-body standing shots
if you're going full body 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 > 5. colors are good, especially with the contrasting tie. in this setting the sneakers feel out of place compared to how formal every other item is.
(i would also consider a less slim or less tapered pant so you don't have as many breaks at the leg opening but that depends on the photo)
if it's not full body...still 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 > 5. imo the higher contrast between the brown jacket and navy tie or navy cardigan and orange tie (navy also probably works here) reads better on camera
Imo 1 is far above the rest. The trainers are a great fit with the trousers but I agree, not great for the context or the rest of the outift
Thank you so much. Consensus is that the light blue shirt is a better fit with corduroy than white? I have other contrasting ties, does it come down to personal preference as far as design goes? Far right is what I wore in the photo
blue shirt > white shirt (not that much of a difference though, follow your heart)
for the tie, rightmost would be my pick but yes, design is largely personal preference. main thing i would say is finding a tie that's about the same width as the rightmost one and different enough from the light blue that it registers, which is the issue i had with 2/5
