Book a photoshoot

1. Get Plenty of Rest

A well-rested model radiates energy and confidence. Aim to get a full night’s sleep before the shoot so you can look fresh and alert. Your eyes will appear brighter, and your skin will have a healthy glow.

2. Hydrate and Eat Well

Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to the shoot to keep your skin looking clear and smooth. Avoid heavy, salty meals right before the shoot as they can cause bloating. Opt for light, nutritious meals to keep your energy up without feeling sluggish.

3. Skin Care and Grooming

• Skin: Keep your skincare routine simple and hydrate your skin the night before the shoot. Avoid trying new products that could cause irritation.
• Hair: Arrive with hair styled as per the shoot’s needs, or follow the photographer’s instructions if they want you to come with natural hair. Avoid excessive styling or products that may weigh your hair down.
• Nails: Keep nails neat and clean, and avoid bright polish unless requested.

4. Outfit Choices

• Plan Ahead: Choose outfits that fit well and reflect the theme or style of the shoot. Bring a variety of options to give the photographer more flexibility.
• Fit and Comfort: Make sure clothes fit perfectly, as overly tight or loose garments can disrupt the flow of the shoot.
• Colors and Patterns: Avoid overly bold patterns or logos unless specified by the photographer. Solid colors or soft patterns often work best.

5. Practice Posing

Before the shoot, practice in front of a mirror to get comfortable with different angles and poses. Work on how to position your body, hands, and face to express a range of emotions. Don’t be afraid to take direction during the shoot, but being aware of your posture and expressions will help you feel more in control.

6. Bring Essential Items

Pack a bag with essentials like:

• A water bottle
• Hairbrush/comb
• Makeup for touch-ups (if applicable)
• Snacks
• Extra pair of shoes (if needed for outfit changes)

7. Relax and Have Fun

The best photos often come when you’re at ease and enjoying yourself. Trust your photographer and team, and let your personality shine through. The more relaxed and confident you feel, the better your photos will turn out.

8. Communicate with the Photographer

Discuss the concept and vision for the shoot ahead of time. If you have specific ideas or preferences, communicate them clearly, but also be open to the photographer’s direction. Collaboration creates the best results.

9. Prepare Mentally

Mentally prepare by visualizing yourself succeeding in the shoot. Positive thoughts and a confident attitude are contagious and can make a huge difference in how you feel and perform on the day of the shoot.
