Photo-Shoot Safety Precautions for the First-Time Model
I was recently stood up by a new and inexperienced model. In itself, this is not a fresh thing. The model had every to walk away as the situation felt strange and uncomfortable.
However, she had utterly failed to communicate with me, even with she'd didn't attend.And this generated a variety of ill-will on my side for the wasted travel-time and investment.
To help avoid this type of situation, here are a handful of tips that will help you remain safe and confident, not just throughout your first photo-shoot, but in everyone that follows.
BEFORE YOU SAY YES TO THE SHOOT
1) GOOGLE-SEARCH THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Get yourself a good solid idea of what they like to shoot. Does it overlap with what you want to do? Is there reviews, comments about this person? If their stuff enables you to feel uncomfortable, dealing with them will probably make one feel uncomfortable.
2) BROWSE THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S WEB-PRESENCE
Does they credit their models? Are they new? Do they have a lot of a following? Are there reviews or comments about other models' experience with this photographer?
3) CONTACT FORMER MODELS
Don't require references... Instead, contact the credited models to require their opinions. Believe me, the other models will be glad to share their experience, good or bad.
ONCE YOU'VE MADE A DECISION TO DO IT...
3) TELL SOMEONE WHAT YOU'RE DOING
Tell someone you are going to a photo-shoot. Give them all the details you have from the photographer.
4) CONTROL SOME OF THE SHOOT CONDITIONS
If shoot constraints permit, consent to meet in a public place, or even to shoot in a public place. But it's not just location. You need to talk to the photographer to arrange what you're going to shoot. if you have specific boundaries, you need to communicate those too.
The photographer doesn't want you nervous and uncomfortable--that turns up in the image.
5) ARRANGE TIMED CALL-INS
Arrange to call someone you trust at specific times. Say, every hour, to say you're okay and this is where you're at...
6) BRING AN ESCORT
Ask the photographer if you can bring someone along to do something being an escort. Different photographers have different takes on the current presence of an escort. Many don't like the thought of multiple strangers within their studio with unsupervised usage of their equipment. It certainly is good to ask. If they say no, it's may be a concern for you personally.
IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO VISIT THE PHOTO-SHOOT
If, for reasons uknown, you decide you don't want to go through with things, tell the photographer! read more wish to minimize the photographer's investment of time and--potentially--money committed to this.
It's possible that other people may need to be informed, for instance a makeup artist, hair-stylist, and other support people. If you don't tell them that you're not coming, they will see this at best as flakiness, at worst as an insult. And it's possible the photographer may still have to pay the makeup-artist, hairdresser, support-people. The earlier you tell them, the higher!
DOING YOUR HOMEWORK PAYS OFF
Not long ago i shot with an excellent young lady earlier come early july. I approached her on the road, looking to fill an area left by another last-minute cancellation. The idea I pitched was "under the covers making faces"... This involved the dubious-sounding situation of her coming to my accommodation for the shoot.
This lady did her homework. She tested my Facebook page, my website, checked out "the dirty"... , She got a feel for who I'm and what I shoot. We set a time-limit and she called a contact at specified intervals.
Because she had her safety protocols in place, things went off with out a hitch. She didn't seem at all nervous. Shooting with her was fun and relaxed. And we communicate now and then, hoping to set up another shoot next time I'm in her neck of the woods.
EVERYONE GETS FIRST TIME JITTERS
It doesn't matter who you shoot with, if you are new to modeling, you are going to need to cope with nervousness and discomfort. You're doing something new. But if this is something you truly want, you are going to need to push through it.
Discomfort demonstrates you're pushing your boundaries. LOTS OF DISCOMFORT shows that you should probably get out of there. You must manage yourself. But it is respectful to ensure the others involved in this know what's going on. Once you're safe, of course.
