By Cherry Murray


Posing for the camera during a photo shoot entails a lot of preparation. This article is all about what a female model must do and prepare in order to have a productive and successful photo session. To make everybody's life in the studio easy and free from unnecessary hassles, it's important to take to mind these basic pointers.

Meet and get to know your photographer prior to the scheduled photo shoot. This will enable you to learn about his style, preferences and expectations. Do not hesitate to ask about the particulars of the shoot and request for a brief so you'll know the things to prepare ahead of time. Must you have ideas of your own, be ready to share it with him especially if you think that it will help in achieving a better outcome.

Choose several pieces of clothes in advance, but see to it that they will blend well with the backdrop that shall be used in the shoot. Opt for clothes in solid colors instead of striped and printed ones. Stay away from garments that have big, prominent logos and brand names. Take with you various styles of clothes so you will have plenty to select from during the day of the shoot.

When it comes to putting on make-up, unless there are specifications provided, it is still best to go for the natural look. But, make it a little heavier than you would on a normal day, especially when applying foundation. To save precious time, arrive at the venue with your hair done already. Do not forget to take along your make-up kit and other beauty gear so that you can do some touch ups in between takes. If you think you do not have the time and the skills to do your own hair and make-up, hire a professional stylist as an alternative.

Get ample rest before the day of the shoot. You don't want any sign of strain and sleeplessness to show in the portraits. Be considerate of other people's time by arriving at the venue on the agreed upon schedule. Remember that the photographer and his staff may likewise have other important things to attend to.
