I had so much fun shooting today! It was just a little portfolio building test shoot.. but I had a good time. Here are some “behind-the-scenes” shots until I get the real ones back! I posted a lot on Instagram too! (@saviirose).
It’s fun getting to be on both sides of the camera. I learn a lot from getting to participate in all aspects of photography.. I have assisted, art directed, photographed, retouched, edited, done hair & makeup and modeled!
A few tips I have for girls just getting into modeling:
- Learn to do your own makeup - This is crucial. You never know what might happen, and you need to be prepared to touch up or even do your own makeup and hair entirely.
- Bring more than you think you’ll need - Always bring more clothing options than you think you’ll need. You never know what could happen.
- Bring multiple types and colors of bras & underwear. Avoid patterns or ruffles that might show through clothing. Neutrals and blacks are safest.
- Don’t bring things you absolutely don’t want to wear - The chances that the photog or others at the shoot will want you to wear them are HIGH. If you hate it, don’t bring it.
- Come as your best - Don’t come with chipped nails or wild colors (unless planned), dry skin, a hair color or cut that was not previously approved, or in an entirely different “shape” than you said you would be in. You don’t want to make anyone mad or burn bridges by being unprofessional. Trust me… they will remember you for the good AND the bad.
- BE ON TIME!!! One of the WORST things you can do is be late for your call-time. The entire day is planned out so as not to waste money or time. Do NOT be late. They WILL remember.
