Many people feel vulnerable in front of a camera and the most important thing required between the photographer and the model is trust.
Photoshoots are so much fun when they are approached properly and I've never had a client who has not thoroughly enjoyed their experience.
The role of a casting shot is to get you into auditions that you are visually right for. The more auditions you get into the more your network of casting directors increase.
The purpose of a modelling portfolio is to capture your unique beauty, promote your strengths and allow you to shine. It is not to simply collate a bunch of photos but MUST tell a story about you. Every time you do a photo shoot you will get better and more comfortable in front of a camera, which will come across in your photos.
Since forming the company, I have been fortunate to undertake a range of photoshoots both in the studio, on location and in the homes of clients. From headshots, to full body shots, from relaxed to more formal, from children to mature adults - I have covered so many angles. I have undertaken photoshoots used by professional models in their portfolios and given taster sessions to those simply wanting to experience it and improve their own mindset about 'self identity'.
All that you need to consider before the shoot:
-
Come prepared and with your smile
-
Come to impress.
-
Come with hair styled (and if required make up on and your clothes ironed).
-
Bring clothes that make you feel good (no big distracting patterns though) and bring a range of styles.
