Model Photography Shoots
What every model should know about model photography shoots.
Model photography shoots are generally used in the fashion industry, whereby a model poses for a photographer either at a studio or in a specific shoot location. Although model photography shoots tend to refer to an actual model posing for the camera, it can also signify a photographer taking photographs of advertised goods for a magazine. Model photography shoots always require a photographer and a shoot location. Models pose for the camera as instructed by the photographer or the photo shoot coordinator.
A model photography shoot can also refer to a common practice where a photographer is taking photographs of a model for the model's portfolio. This usually means that a model pays a photographer to take his or her head and body shots, or by which an agency organizes the model photography shoot on behalf of the model.
A model who wants to do well in model photography shoots should always remember a few tricks of the business to ensure success:
1. Always come to model photography shoots on time. There's nothing worse than keeping a photographer and the rest of the crew waiting.
2. Try to make the photographer's life easy. Listen to instructions well and always do your best to comply with what the photographer is hoping to gain from the photography shoot.
3. If you are a model who has been hired for a model photography shoot, remember that the whole crew is relying on you to deliver the best results. While all the participants play an important role in model photography shoots, the model is responsible for assuring that the shoots turn out a success. So, always do your work professionally and allow for the model photo shoot to be finished as quickly and smoothly as possible.
I have a potential model but she doesn’t want her images released. What do I do?
What were the goals of your model call? If your goal was to shoot images to add to your portfolio and share online, then she isn’t the model for you. Tell her a model release is part of the requirement for the session and if she isn’t willing to sign it, she’s not eligible for the session.
EDITORIAL & FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
Make a decision on what makeup, hair, outfit options you want to do
But if you feel like you want to use your own makeup artist or do your own makeup yourself, it's not a problem. Just let us know. A few general tips regarding the outfits you're planning to bring for the shoot: make sure your clothes are pressed and clean, try new clothes on before the photoshoot, do not wear baggy, bulky, saggy or otherwise ill-fitting clothing. What we recommend bringing for the test shoots:
- Plain white/gray t-shirt
- White classic shirt
- Jeans, denim outfits
- Plain one colored swimsuit or very minimalistic
- Black shaped dress, or any dress that fits you well
- Black tights/leggings
- Blazer
- Clothes that highlight your figure best
- High heels shoes
