Preparation Before Photo-Shoot

There are several things that a model can do in order to help make a photo-shoot run smoothly. Sure, the photographer’s job is to take good photos, but most photo-shoots are two-way streets (that’s not including shoots that involve make-up artists, assistants, hair stylists, and wardrobe people)

Regardless of who is being paid, here are some things that a model can do to prepare for a shoot:

1.Make sure that you have the photographer’s phone number.(Emails are not enough) If you are going to be late, you should call to let them know that you are not simply flaking out. People put a lot of time and energy into preparing for a shoot.

2.Have a list of things that you need for a photo-shoot ahead of time. With that in mind, ask the photographer (or whoever is creating the concept) to let you know what you should bring, and then bring some extras. What I mean by extras is a few more changes of wardrobe, shoes, etc.

3. Be sure to bring your make-up kit with you. Even if you do your make-up at home, bringing your kit to the shoot allows for touch-ups if necessary.

4. If you are shooting lingerie, esp if it’s see through, be sure to cut the tags/labels off. It adds work for the photographer when he/she is finishing the photos in post production.

5. Look at a few magazines that show the style of images that you are looking to get. For example, if you want fashion images, check out the models’ poses and expressions in Vogue, Elle., Harper’s Bazaar, and 125 Magazine. If you do glamour/bikini/fitness/lingerie, check out Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Maxim, FHM, Oxygen, and Playboy. Magazines, catalogs, ads-study the poses and expressions. There is a reason why those photos are used that way, and that reason is-the photos are aesthetically pleasing and easy to look at.

6.It’s not enough to just look at magazines. You should try some of the poses that you like before your photoshoot. The reason for that is because no matter how beautiful you are, not every pose/expression will suit you. Look at your poses/expressions in the mirror, practice, practice, practice. Then again, even if something looks good in the mirror, it may not look good in a photo due to the difference in angles between the way you looked at yourself in the mirror and the angle at which the photographer captured it.

7. Take care of your nails. Get them done. No, I don’t mean spend $100 on a manicure/pedicure. I mean, trim them accurately, and paint them a nice colour.

8.Wax/shave your legs, bikini line, and armpits. Unless the concept is au naturelle nude photographs, it is probably a good idea to always remove unnecessary body hair. Also, do not wax/shave right before the shoot, or else you’ll have razor burn/red marks from doing so, which add more unnecessary retouching work for the photographer. It’s best to just keep shaved/waxed.

9. Drink water and avoid salty foods and alcohol for at least 3 days before the shoot. You don’t want to appear dehydrated and hung-over in your photos.

About Me

My name is Ant and I am a Malaysian-born freelance photographer, based in Kuala Lumpur, interested in women fashion photography. I am not attached to any company and only accept freelance job. I enjoy location and studio work and capturing different moods and expressions of my models. I like the excitement that girls bring to the shoot and no matter where I shoot I want to have fun with it and create relaxed, sexy and romantic creative photographs.

My interest in photography began with the visit to a professional modelling photo studio. I was so impressed with their work and realized the amazing work a photographer could accomplish with a camera.

My excitement in photography turned into a journey of self-directed studying, and start googling everything related to photography. I finally found something that really interests me and I entered University to further develop my practical knowledge about photography. After obtaining my Professional Photography & New Media, Fine Art Exhibition Diploma, I am constantly learning about art and photography and keep challenging myself to look forward and think outside the box.

I can be contacted and my previous work can be request through email: ph0t0grapher678@gmail.com.

* Please note that it would take some time to view my previous work as i have to obtain a personal permission from my subject.
