Thirdly, when you have a photo shoot<br />

scheduled, always come well prepared.<br />

Usually all details relating to a photo<br />

shoot are discussed and set beforehand,<br />

therefore coming to a shoot with all the<br />

necessary items is vital. This is a good<br />

representation of your own reliability, so to<br />

appear as professional as possible, make<br />

sure you come fully prepared.<br />

In addition to the latter, always make<br />

sure you arrive on time. Nobody appreciates<br />

waiting around, especially as Studio time is<br />

often based on hourly fees. So, it’s always<br />

better to come early rather than late.<br />

"You should never<br />

arrive to a photo<br />

shoot looking tired<br />

and exhausted"<br />

When all the preparations have been made<br />

for the shoot, then starts your one-on-one<br />

with the photographer. Your ability to<br />

communicate with the photographer is key<br />

as it sets the tone and speed of the shoot.<br />

So, listen to the instructions of the<br />

photographer carefully and try to make<br />

his/ her job as easy as possible. Naturally,<br />

the more a model and a photographer work<br />

together, the smoother the photo shoot<br />

will be. However whether it’s your first or<br />

your tenth time working together, you<br />

should always aim to ask the photographer<br />

what he or she wants to facilitate for the<br />

most effective working environment.<br />

Warning<br />

You should always make<br />

sure that you are dealing<br />

with a professional<br />

photographer, especially<br />

when it comes to test<br />

shoots. There are lots of<br />

people luring and scamming<br />

young, impressionable<br />

models, and for this reason<br />

you should always consult<br />

a professional photographer<br />

for taking your<br />

photographs, especially if<br />

you are just starting out in<br />

the business. Ask other<br />

models, photographers you<br />

have worked with and do<br />

your own investigation about<br />

the photographer. The<br />

photographer will be<br />

investigating you too. Other<br />

models and photographers<br />

do talk. So, it’s worth to<br />

invest a bit of time and<br />

money in finding a<br />

professional to work with.
