What models need to know

Days Before the shoot 
  • If it's for your portfolio: Create a Pinterest board of images you like and want to show the photographer.  Share the board with the photographer
  • Resist the urge to over-exercise or diet excessively, but don't eat a lot of junk food or carbs.
  • Avoid breakouts by not trying any new make-up or skin care products.  Do not get a facial within 4 days of the shoot.
  • Practice posing in front of a mirror
The Night Before the Photo shoot
  • · Remove any body hair you do not want the camera to see.
  • · Gently exfoliate your body to remove dead, scaly skin, and apply moisturizer.
  • · Give yourself a manicure and a pedicure, making sure to use only a clear or pale neutral polish.
What to Pack for the Photo shoot
  • Any clothes, shoes or accessories your agent, stylist or photographer asked you to bring.
  • Your 'Model's Bag' (see below).
The Day of the Photo shoot
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent any marks and impressions on your body.
  • Wear a button front shirt to protect hair and make-up so you don't pull it over you head to remove it.
  • Wear a clear deodorant to prevent white marks on the clothes.
  • Discuss if a make-up artist will be on the set, if so arrive with clean hair and absolutely no make-up.
The Model's Bag: 
As a working model you should always have this especially if you are new and doing portfolio work.  
Some of this depends on if there will be a hair and MUA on set:
Hair, ask if a hair stylist will be on set:
  • Headband, elastic bands, hair pins
  • Brushes, combs
  • Hair appliances (curling iron, rollers, straighter)  some studios have dryers (we have hair dryer and an clothes iron)
Face:
  • Skin cleanser and a good moisturizer
  • Make-up kit
  • Cotton balls and cotton swabs
  • Mirror
  • Lip balm and Vaseline
Nails:
  • Manicure kit
  • Neutral colored polishes
  • Polish remover pads
Clothing:
  • Different colors of nylons/tights
  • Bras of different colors and styles
  • Loose socks to wear around the studio when not shooting
  • Light dressing robe
  • All clothes should be clean and ironed (we have an iron in the studio)
Shoes:
  • Assortment of dress shoes/sandals
  • Flats (brown and black)
  • Plain white sneakers  
Music: 
  • Bring your phone with music you would like to listen to during the shoot if it's for your portfolio/headshot. If you were hired for a commercial shoot the photographer's team will probably pick the music.
