The
Day of the model shoot is finally here
Finally, you've done all the above
steps to be ready for this important day. Now what? Again,
your goal is to make this photo shoot the best it can be. A
photographer can do much to help your look but these are
must-dos in order for you to help the
photographer.
- If your model session is in the
morning, eat a good breakfast. If you are having an
afternoon session, eat a light lunch. It takes a lot of
energy to do a model photo shoot and you don't want to
run out of steam before the session is over.
- Leave early enough to be at the
photo shoot on time, or better still, early. I cannot
stress this enough. Many photographers work on a tight
schedule and will charge you if your session takes longer
than you scheduled for. Not to mention that if this shoot
is for a client, you may lose this job and future offers
by showing up late. Show that you are a professional and
your will be treated as such.
- Take your mom with you to the
photo shoot. If a photographer refuses this request,
check a little closer before using him or her. This is a
safety precaution that every model should follow.
- Come to the model photo shoot
wearing clothing that fits loosely to insure the least
amounts of marks on your body. These marks take time to
go away and may waste your limited amount of time
allocated for the photo shoot.
- Instead of a pullover, wear a
button up shirt so that you won't disturb the makeup and
hair when you begin to change for the
session.
- Don't wear the white-powder type
of deodorant. Rather, wear one of the clear types to
insure that your clothing will stay stain-free during the
model session.
- If you wear perfume to the photo
shoot (not recommended), make sure it's very light.
Photographers studios are not always large and strong
perfume will overwhelm the photographer and the others
who have to work with you.
- Many photo shoots will include a
makeup and/or hair artist. If this is the case come to
the shoot without any makeup or concealer and make sure
your hair is good and clean. If a photographer wants you
to do your own makeup, go

to help you apply makeup for the camera and
lights.
Makeup
Artists and Hair Stylist
If you want your photo shoot to be
absolutely perfect, you may want to consider hiring a makeup
artist and/or hair stylist. They can add greatly to creating
new and exciting looks for you to make your first photo
shoot a booming success.
However, you should use the same care
in choosing a hair or makeup artist as you would in choosing
a photographer. Check references and make sure they are
prompt with appointments.
Have
Fun!!
Being a professional model does not
mean that you can't have fun. Following the steps above will
help insure that you will have fun during your session by
getting off to a good start. The less someone has to
reprimand you the more relaxed the model shoot will be. So,
Enjoy!!
