Getting Yourself Prepped Up For A Photo Shoot

By Anne Wong


Posing for the camera during a photo session entails a lot of preparation. This write-up is all about what a female model should do and prepare in order to have a productive and successful photo session. To make everyone's life in the studio easy and free from unnecessary hassles, it's crucial to take to mind these basic pointers.

Schedule a meeting with the photographer to build good rapport. This will also enable you to be familiar with his style and preferences. It's also a perfect chance for the both of you to express your expectations and desired results. Request for a copy of the brief and a list of the things that you must prepare. Should you have ideas of your own, be ready to communicate it with him especially if you believe that it will help in obtaining a better outcome.

Plan your wardrobe by selecting several pieces in advance, making sure that they will blend well with the backdrop. Avoid striped or printed garments and go for solid colors without visible brand names or logos. Take with you various styles of clothes so you'll have plenty to choose from throughout the day of the shoot.

The natural look is still the best way to go when it comes to putting on make-up, unless otherwise specified. However, it's a must to make it a little heavier than you would on a regular day, especially when putting on foundation. Always remember to take with you your make-up bag and the necessary beauty supplies and paraphernalia for touch ups in between takes. Come to the venue with your hair done already. If you feel that you don't have the knack to prettify yourself, hire a professional stylist as an alternative.

Get plenty of rest before the day of the shoot. You do not want any sign of stress and sleeplessness to show in the photos. Be considerate of other people's time by arriving at the venue on the agreed upon schedule. Remember that the photographer and his staff may likewise have other important things to attend to.
