LOOK # 2
GLAMOUR/CATALOG FASHION SHOOT
WARDROBE AND CONCEPTS EXAMPLES FOR YOU TO HAVE AN IDEA FOR THE SHOOT
This should be shot in a studio and it’s not just black and white photography you have,
Think outside the box, Look at top fashion mags for ideas, like Marciano, Guess, DKNY, Chanel, Prada, Gucci, etc that you and the creative director can come up with to create a theme of shoots.
Clothing for this type of shoot is fall fashion only so coats jackets fur etc
This should be a conversation between the creative director and your manager with the photographer on exactly what concepts you need to shoot and if the photographer is a professional fashion photographer he will have a storyboard for your both to work off at the shoot.
A storyboard is a must before any fashion shoot to make sure you get the concepts that are needed
That way you are not spending the whole day shooting photos that your manager can’t use to submit
Shoot in name brands clothing of any major fashion designers for wardrobe.
WHAT TYPE OF JEWELRY SHOULD I WEAR?
Major accessories are lots of bling jewelry glitter nothing is too over the top
Make sure to have neck wrist and earrings iced out with crystals or beads
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES BELOW
THE MORE BLING THE BETTER ESPECIALLY ON THE HANDS & WRIST
You go all out with jewelry and accessories when shooting high fashion and your hair should be styled
For these types of shoots, you need to find male models and other female models to work with and as well in groups and get comfortable working with different people in different settings and as well do some solo shots.
Time is money in the business and you need to be able to adapt quickly as well as get thru wardrobes quickly so don’t be spending time shooting 1000 photos in the same look or outfit.
CREATE CONCEPTS YOU’RE WORKING OFF A PARTNER
IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO GO AFTER GETTING JOBS WITH MAJOR BRANDS YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ADAPT TO WORKING WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE
SOME EXAMPLES BELOW
You should have about 8 different looks or as many as you can quickly get in and out…
Time your shoots 5 MINUTES 20-30 photos and then switch to the next outfit.
When you are hired as a brand model things always change sometimes your work solo and sometimes your work in settings with me and women in role-playing aspects.
So if you are insecure about working with other people or males you must work this out before you can ever think about becoming a brand model for major companies.
Even if it’s a male friend to practice with at the beginning that is the only way to get comfortable is to work thru it until you find your place.
Think of a fashion shoot the same way a male and female work together as actors Your job is to create a story thru your photos not just point and shoot. Your job is to sell the product for the brand and create whatever vision the creative director has for the concept to show up on screen and in photos when the final product is produced.
