SHOOT #6.Creative Concept:
WHAT IS A CREATIVE CONCEPT SHOOT?
A Combination of Videos and Photos
For this shoot make sure you hire a videographer & Photographer
THIS IS WHERE YOU TRY TO SHOCK AND AWE WITH IDEAS OF YOUR OWN AND CREATE SOMETHING CINEMATIC WITH COSTUMES AND CREATIVE PROPS
THIS MUST BE DONE WITH A COMBINATION OF VIDEO AND PHOTO
IN THIS TYPE OF SHOOT YOU WANT TO SHOW OFF YOUR ACTING SKILLS AS WELL THIS IS YOU BEING IN CHARGE WITH YOUR OWN VISION THAT WILL GIVE YOU THAT EXPERIENCE TO STAND OUT AMONG OTHER MODELS & CREATE SOMETHING EPIC & A MINI-MOVIE
I would strongly suggest hiring a creative director when shooting these types of photos to create the ideal story to match your photo and concept and consider this like shooting a movie with still photos
For this photoshoot, you must bring costumes and props to bring your vision to life so Think of it as it is you doing a shoot on Halloween
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN DOING THESE TYPES OF PHOTOSHOOTS
The goal is to be creative and think outside the box
Be Daring and never be afraid to push the envelope so expect to do multiple wardrobe changes but do not spend too much time on one shoot..100 SHOTS MAX each.
These are shots that you want to practice timing getting in and out of the wardrobe quickly.
If this was a hired shoot for a magazine company they exact their models to be in and out as time is money so they are not gonna spend 3 hours just to get one shot this shoot is key in learning proper posing to facial expressions listening very carefully to the director and what they want in the photo and the shot.
So you must do your homework before the shooting don’t just show up and expect to just get into shooting like this is a bikini shoot.
This is a big test to see if you are cut out for doing this job professionally and if you have what it takes to be a brand model and brand influencer,
I like to have models use brand-style wardrobes for these shoots so if you like channel Gucci Prada etc this is a shoot to come with your best wardrobe and name-brand stuff BECAUSE if you slay this shoot and your manager sends in your shots to editors it can go along way for you if they like you in there clothing.
This area is my favorite and I suggest is a must when doing this type of shoot to hire a videographer as well or work with a skilled photographer that does both because these images are about you selling as if you are the face of the brand for a company so you want this shots to be cutting edge and stand out and don’t be afraid to be edgy and controversial, So think of it as you would see in a mini commercial that’s selling a product.
