Modelling Tips




What to bring.

Chaperone. Preferably someone who can add to the shoot with encouragement, ideas and is happy to help.



USB memory stick for your images, if you want them there and then. Otherwise they can be email to you with any edited versions.


If it's winter. A big, warm coat, umbrella, comfortable shoes, hat, gloves, a hot water bottle, flask of hot drink for in-between shoot moments and a towel and warm, dry clothes for after the shoot.




If it's meant to be summer. A big, warm coat, umbrella, comfortable shoes, hat, gloves, a hot water bottle, flask of hot drink for in-between shoot moments and a towel and warm, dry clothes for after the shoot.







Additional clothes (if there’s somewhere to change or you remove layers or you're a quick change artist!).






Not so comfortable shoes, bangles, beads, rings and dangly earrings.





To make you portrait more personal, any props you want to bring; mobile phone, headphones, makeup, glasses, sunglasses, hat, scarf, hooded top, handbag, bicycle or somthing to do with a hobby. It’s up to you!





Your portfolio.



Your personality, enthusiasm and beautiful smile!




Model Release. A contract you may be asked to sign or you might ask the photographer to provide. Some publishers will not use the images unless they know one has been done in case either of you become famous and there is an argument over where the images can be used.
