contd. I want to be a freelance model! Photoshoot


Now you have a date for the photo-shoot! Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the week, and make sure you are well rested the day before the shoot. Since this is your first shoot, more likely you will not have a wardrobe stylist. So go through your clothes and try them on. Make sure they are form fitting, the style is current or fashion forward. Do not wear clothing that have logos on them, a big design that is cartoonish. Do not wear clothes that have so many things going on, unless you are really trained in fashion. If your wardrobe collection is not going to work then go shopping. You can go to stores like Marshalls, Ross, and etc to save you money. 

After you have all your clothes picked out make sure they are ironed. Also have your photo-shoot kit ready. It will consist of clothes pin ,to pin clothing that needs to be pinned, baby oil (in case you are doing a shoot that is showing allot of skin), hair brush, comb, hair spray and your makeup kit in case the MUA goes MIA. Female models should bring accessories like bangles, earrings, necklaces and etc. Male models bring watches, neck ties, and hair gel. Go to sleep early!

Day of the shoot comes, and all of a sudden you do not feel like doing the shoot. That feeling is very natural, even as photographers we face this from time to time. As a professional you have to put that aside and continue with the shoot as planned. One if you do not go it will come off as unprofessional and rude to the photographer, MUA, and anyone else who are involved. Two, they will notify their friends who will happen to be photographers and MUA to not work with you. So we are going to go the professional route, you will do your normal routine ritual except we will not put anything on the face no moisturizer no makeup unless you do not have a MUA.


The shoot is done, it turned out better than we had hope for, and you thank everyone for making this day special. The photographer will tell you when you should start expecting to see pictures. You are very excited and anxious to see the picture, but do not hound or beat around the bush to your photographer, or they will get frustrated and rush through your images. Be patient and genuine, when the deadline is up, feel free to kindly ask how things are going and when will the pictures be ready.
