Model Shoot Guideline

An overview of the services you offer and how they will benefit the visitor.

 

Before The Shoot

 

1. Organisation

As you start planning your shoot, it’s worth considering the team you may want on board. We’re happy to recommend or connect you with trusted talents, including:

  • Makeup artists
  • Models
  • Stylists

We can also arrange an assistant to help with garment prep, steaming, or on-set support. A digital operator (DIGI) is available if needed.

Having someone there to assist throughout the day can help everything run more smoothly and take the pressure off you.

2. Mood Board

Sharing a mood board is a great way to align the creative vision with everyone involved. It helps ensure that the photographer, stylists, and other talents are all on the same page.

Your mood board can include:

  • Makeup and hair styling direction
  • Lighting and atmosphere (e.g. moody, minimal, or soft)
  • Posing style
3. Image Requirements & Delivery

To help us prepare and deliver exactly what you need, please share the following details ahead of the shoot:

  • Where the images will be used (e.g. web, social media, print)
  • Final dimensions and aspect ratios (e.g. 4:5, 16:9, 1:1)
  • Required model views (e.g. front, side, back)
  • File naming conventions — an Excel sheet must be provided before the shoot

This helps us stay efficient on the day and ensures your files are delivered correctly and ready to use.

4. Call Sheet

If your team is handling production, we recommend preparing a call sheet to help keep things organised and aligned. It’s a useful way to clarify your goals for the shoot and ensure everyone knows what to expect.

A typical call sheet includes:

  • Crew and talent arrival times
  • Location details (e.g. studio address, access instructions, parking info)
  • Contact details for key team members
  • A general schedule or run sheet for the day

We’re happy to assist with basic timing if needed.

5. Shot List & Wardrobe / Product Check

A clear shot list helps keep the shoot focused, efficient, and on track. If you’re bringing wardrobe items or products, please ensure that everything is:

  • Clean and in good condition
  • Steamed, unpacked, or prepped as needed
  • Organised to follow the order outlined in the shot list or outfit sequence

This level of preparation helps the day run smoothly and reduces delays between setups.

 

During the Shoot

Here’s a general breakdown of how the day typically unfolds:

Preparation: – Equipment setup (usually 30–60 minutes depending on the shoot), hair and makeup, wardrobe prep (e.g. steaming), and final styling touches.

Wardrobe and accessories should be organised first thing in the day to ensure everything is ready and in order before we begin shooting.

Styling Time – Time needed for each outfit change may vary. Please allow some flexibility in your schedule to accommodate adjustments or unexpected changes.

Shooting Time – Average time per look or setup can be discussed beforehand to help with planning and keep the shoot moving smoothly.

We’ll have essentials like clamps, tape, garment steamers, and hangers available. If you have any special props or tools you’re bringing, let us know so we can assist if needed.
