The best backgrounds are plain and complimentary to the colors in your clothing, hair, complexion.

Here's some great (in my opinion) ideas for costumes. Johanna has a great eye and she's a really good artist but the backgrounds in these photos are examples of exactly what you don't want.

Have fun!

I modeled once, and I am a brunette. They wanted me to wear a V-neck black shirt!The background of the photo was also black! I wore eyeliner and alot of eyeshadow! The photo got "Honorable Mention" in New York. My photo was placed in the Downtown Bank in Oklahoma for three months! I was thrilled, and the photo was very "flattering"! By the way, I have a fair complexion!
