Wednesday's Tip: How to Prepare for a Taylor-Made Photography Shoot



Here at Taylor-Made Photography we are constantly asked what people should do to prepare for a shoot, whether it’s in the studio, on location or your Wedding Day we have got some useful tips and tricks to ensure you always photograph well in front of the camera.

1. Grooming

Good grooming can go a long way and can make you go from “eh, okay” to “wow, you’re stunning!” This is the area where people need to start, with sometimes a few days before the shoot and build up to the day of. Some quick and easy things to consider:

-Be aware of your face. This includes thinking about your skin; issues such as dry skin can be easily combated and assists in making you look wonderful. Tweezing eyebrows and removing unwanted facial hair is great. It means the photographer doesn’t have to digitally edit out each individual hair (and not all photographers are that dedicated, no woman wants a hairy upper lip).

-Also be aware of what will be shot. If your legs are going to be in the photographs, make sure they’ve been waxed or shaved a day or two ahead of time (unless you want some fuzzy legs!) If you shave them the day of, you might have broken out skin or redness from the razor and/or wax.

-Don’t forget your hands. I for one love a good close up of the hands. Nothing ruins the shot more than nails that haven’t been cleaned or clipped. It might even be worth bringing something to clean them when you get there (who knows what you’ll be handling leading up to the photo shoot.)



Stay Tuned for tomorrow's useful tip in preparing for a Photoshoot.
