(Newswire.net — May 18, 2019) — Whether you’re about to schedule your maiden shoot or you’re a seasoned model, there are a few factors to bear in mind. Photoshoots can be tough but you can make it more fun and interesting when you’re well prepared. Here’s a simple model checklist for photoshoot.
Model Checklist For Photoshoot
Preparation
Be Available
Make sure your phone is on and charged so you can stay in the loop in case of changes in the call-time or location of the set.
Be on Time
The last thing you want is to arrive at a shoot late. If possible, arrive a few minutes before time. Getting to the set early allows you to complete hair and make-up if needed and select outfits.
Don’t Wash Your Hair the Day of The Shoot
According to seasoned hair and makeup stylists, your hair is easier to comb, style and perfect when it’s one or two days unwashed.
Don’t Arrive with Makeup
This will allow you to get to the set earlier. You may also be required to take it off anyway.
A Fresh Face
Ensure you look your best by getting sufficient sleep and staying away from alcohol the night before. Drinking plenty of water the night before and the day of will also help to ensure you’re looking fresh.
Bring
Different Color Underwear
This is especially critical for lingerie and glamor shots. However, it’s also crucial for any other shoots as it would be awkward to see a piece of underwear underneath your clothing that doesn’t match. Be sure to have at least white, black and skin colored (nude).
Strapless Bra
More often than not, bra-straps will ruin your shoot. It’s not unlikely that one or more dresses which should be photographed will have no halter or sleeves. Some bras have very thin straps but bra-straps are a no-go.
High heeled shoes
A good pair of high heeled shoes will complete any outfit. Even if the shoes may not be shown, they help to create an elevated illusion on your legs.
Hair Accessories
Be sure to bring a wide range of hair accessories to ensure a smooth pre-shoot prep and also give you several appearances for your shoot. Accessories such as bobby pins and hair ties can come in handy when you’re styling for a shoot or getting your makeup done.
Your Portfolio
If you have a portfolio, be sure to bring it along. The book will help your photographer to see what you’ve already shot and take note of your facial profiles and most flattering angles.
Touch Up Products
Makeup wipes, hair spray and other things that will help you to wind down after the shoot can come in quite handy.
Your Go-To Beauty Supplies
If you have a daily foundation in the correct color, tools that best fit your look and makeup products that are flattering on you, be sure to carry them to your shoot.
Bottom Line
You also want to have a change of clothes to wear when you’re done with the shoot. Something comfortable to wear should work well. This model checklist for photoshoot should help you have a seamless and successful shoot.
