If you have been booked for an upcoming casting call there are a few things every model should know about the unwritten rules of a model photography shoot. You should relax and enjoy your shoot of course, model photography can be fun – but there is also a business aspect of the shoot too. If you want to be called back again, there are some simple tips you should learn.
Get Ready
Take a small selection of clean, pressed clothing that fits the role you will be auditioning for. Bring your own makeup even if there will be a makeup artist available. The makeup artist could be cancelled. Get your hair styled or cut neatly in a manner appropriate for the shoot. Be sure to get a good night's sleep before the shoot.
Get There on Time/p>
"On time" doesn't mean the exact minute scheduled for the shoot. You should be absolutely ready to go at the first moment you are called. This means you must get to the shoot early – period. Thirty minutes early is good, fifteen will do.
Be Friendly
Try to be cordial with everyone you meet and introduce yourself to everyone you possibly can. You will be surrounded with people who can help you get more work. Be as friendly as you can and they might return the favor.
Don't Talk Money
Refer all questions about rates and terms to your agent. Do not negotiate the terms of a shoot without your agent. If you are asked to change terms at the shoot call your agent. Do not sign a photographer's release form without your agent's approval.
Do Sign the Form
Always be sure to take your copy of the voucher or any releases that are signed at the shoot. Sign the form and take one copy for yourself and one for your agent. Don't forget to leave a copy with the photographer.
Have Fun
Remember you are about to do what all models want to do. Model photography can be fun. Relax and enjoy yourself.
