Clothing
We recommend that you bring two or three changes of outfits for your session. The type of clothes you should bring to the shoot can be discussed prior to your session.
Ideas and Posing
It’s best to practice some poses before your session, look at fashion magazines for ideas and to get a feel for the type of shots you need. We will discuss ideas before the session and will direct you during the session.
Types of modelling
There are various types of modelling, fashion, promotional, glamour, face/hands/feet and all have there own requirements. Fashion models, normally need to be a minimum of 5′.8 (women) or 6′ (men) in height. You should decide before the photo shoot what sort of modelling work you wish to do – and that you meet the minimum requirements, so that we can tailor the session towards that type of modelling.

Make-up
We recommend you use a professional photographic makeup artist, although you can do your own makeup. A professional makeup artist can make a huge difference to your session.
