Preparing for a photography shoot

By Stacy Higgins


Having sexy photographs taken in today's society is extremely fashionable. If you surf on the web and in beauty magazines you will discover quite a few photography studios selling stylish glamour photography services. Quite a number of girls are presently having gorgeous photos taken from pretty bridal photos to runway fashion photos to more sexy photos for their spouse's eyes only.

So what will you need to look your best on the photo shoot One of the most important preparations is your grooming you should be as groomed to the highest standard as possible for the day. Have you put much thought into on which style of make-up and hair you would like? Would you like your hair to have bouncy curls or sleek and straight, would you wish for the heavy catwalk eye make-up look or keep it more subtle ? Most of the photography companies that provide glamour modelling packages also provide you with the choice of a makeup assistant and hair stylist so you should select this package when you book. If the photography studios does not have a makeup person available for your photo shoot or you have not booked a makeup assistant you should book into a hair and makeup salon to have your hair styled and make-up done. Inform the salon that you want a glamorous makeover for a photo shoot. You should always have your makeup applied professionally by a qualified makeup person as make up for photography shoots has to be a lot heavier than normal daytime make up. You should also ensure that your hair is in its best condition. Your hair should be freshly washed, dried and styled for the photo-shoots. Your eyebrows should be groomed so get them waxed or re-shaped and get the make-up assistant to emphasise your eyebrow shape with an eyebrow pencil. You should possibly give some thought about applying some glue on lashes to enhance your eyes for the photo- shoot.

Your Nails are also extremely important as nearly all of the camera poses will have your hands in. Get some glue on temporary nails from the drug store or take a trip to the nail salon to get some French nails done. Tanning is another consideration for ladies before going to a glamorous photo shoot. Being tanned isn't essential before a shoot as you can ask for a natural looking tan to be airbrushed onto your body when they finish touching up your photos. If you do wish to get a tan, you should avoid any fake slap on tans as these are always uneven tans and will look very unnatural in the photographs.

Above I have written about the makeup and grooming side of preparing for a photography shoot, now onto the the apparel that you will be wearing for the shoot. The style of clothing you will be wearing will depend on the photo-shoot style you have picked and your individual comfort level. If you have opted for a bridal photo-shoot you will definitely be having photos of your wedding gown but have you also given it much consideration of having some naughty bridal lingerie photographs taken as a wedding present for your new husband? For instance photographs of the bride in a white bridal bustier and hold-ups? If you are having a catwalk style photo shoot you may want to wear a collection of nightlife clothing and the trendiest fashion styles. For instance you may decide to wear some jeans and a sequin top, a graceful cocktail dress or an hot club wear piece. If you are going for a glamour style photo-shoot or boudoir photo-shoot lingerie is a definite must.

There are various designs of lingerie from corsets and Basques to sexy baby dolls to sexy bodystockings and stockings . When doing a lingerie shoot you must really wear something that you feel sexy wearing as otherwise the look won't work for the camera. You should also wear a style of lingerie that fits well and enhances your best features . For instance if you are quite busty you may want to wear a corset to enhance your cleavage . If you are leggy you may want to wear a sexy bodystocking to emphases your legs.

Whichever design of clothing you select whether it's a cocktail gown to pretty lingerie you should also be wearing matching heels or boots. For good example if you have a white bustier and white tights on you should be wearing white or silver shoes.

Most essentially the clothes should be in tip top condition, it's best to shop for some completely brand new outfits specially for your shoot.

It is a lot of preparing to do, but once you have your photographs finished, it will be worth the effort!
