Life in Lilt

Jessica Tjok Photography

Location

I work exclusively on-location, and I do travel for a fee. Prior to your session, I will consult with you by phone or email to determine the right location for you; we can work at your home, in a local park, or at any number of beautiful, local spots in New York City. I personally prefer to work either in natural areas (overgrown gardens, grassy fields, etc.), or in areas with a lot of "decay" texture (old buildings, classical churches, etc.) for visual interest.

What to Wear

If you have no idea of what to wear, don't panic!  Before your session, I will consult with you either by phone or email to help you with your clothing choices.  Generally, bright, bold colors and strong textures photograph well, though it is usually best to avoid logos and mass media references.  Things that photograph well:
  • Jeans (especially worn jeans)
  • Vintage clothing (think old school)
  • Classic button-down shirts
  • Knit sweaters, hats, scarves, etc.
  • Tutus, pettiskirts, brightly-colored tights
  • Bare feet!
  • Brightly-colored and/or patterned gum boots
  • Worn leather boots
Feel free to bring several outfits!  A little selection often goes a long way, and you can bring a little variety to your final images.  If more than one person is participating in the photoshoot, please consider making your clothing choices as a unit - harmonizing color tones and similarly-themed outfits are wonderful!
