Even if your just modeling &#8222;for hobby&#8220; you should take it as serious as if it where your full-time job. Only if you take it as that and put all your energy into it every time, all participants can get best results.<\/p>\n<p>Part of this serious job is to be properly prepaired for a photoshoot and to pack your bag beforehand.<br \/>\nIn this article you&#8217;ll find out what to put in this bag and what to take care of before the shoot.<\/p>\n<p>Models can take this list as &#8222;checklist&#8220; and I&#8217;d strongly recommend to photographers to hint models to this list.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Take care of:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>enough sleep<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; The most simple, probably most heard but also most important hint. A night full of partying or the lack of sleep are things one can definately see in your faces &#8211; even with the best make up.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>punctuality<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Although some photographers may be of the &#8222;always-being-late&#8220;-type, as a model you should avoid being late by all means. Es macht nat\u00fcrlich nie einen guten Eindruck, wenn ein ganzes Team im Leerlauf wartet, weil das Model noch nicht da ist.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>availability<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Check again your mails, SMS and Mailbox before leaving. Is the cellphone charged and turned on? Unforseen events can happen anytime and there&#8217;s nothing more frustrating as when you can&#8217;t be reached to be informed (or YOU cannot inform anybody).<\/li>\n<li>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1344\" style=\"width: 233px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1344\" title=\"ungeschminkt\" src=\"https:\/\/www.migel-photo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/ungeschminkt-233x350.jpg\" alt=\"Vor einem Shooting hei\u00dft es: Jede Eitelkeit vergessen und ungeschminkt kommen!\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vor einem Shooting hei\u00dft es: Jede Eitelkeit vergessen und ungeschminkt kommen!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Always appear <strong><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\">without make-up to the shoot<\/span><\/strong> (as long as you weren&#8217;t advised otherwise) &#8211; A make-up artist would not be pleased t have to take the make-up first. Besides that remains of make-up could be hard to remove and your skin could show unsightly reactions.<br \/>\nEven if there&#8217;s no make-up artist present, the photographer most likely will want to (co-)decide about the make-up. So: Come with no make-up on your face.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t wash your hair<\/strong><\/span> on the same day or the evening before the shoot. Nearly every make-up artist tells me this, so I give the advise to you now. It&#8217;s way easier to style, comb and dress hairs if the last washing was done more than 12 hours ago.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">You need:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>Different colored underwear<\/strong><\/span>, at least black, white and skincolored belong to every modelbag. The absolutely least is the &#8222;universal talent&#8220; skincolored.\n<div>This is not only true for lingerie- and glamour-shoots but for any, as practically eveery time a piece of cloth will also be on the photo &#8211; it would be very awkward to see a piece of underwear beneath it that doesn&#8217;t match.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>strapless bras<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; It will happen more than once that dresses which should be photographed will have no straps for the shoulderstraps. Others have very thin straps. Disturbing bra-straps are an absolute no-go there.<br \/>\nThere are times, by the way that it&#8217;s impossible to wear a bra under a dress at all. It&#8217;s concidered professional to not kick up a fuss then. Photographers and designers usually know what looks best and they&#8217;re all after the best results, not peeping. If you go to a photoshoot, you should have this much trust.<\/li>\n<li>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1347\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1347\" style=\"width: 233px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1347\" title=\"Beauty-Shooting\" src=\"https:\/\/www.migel-photo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Beauty-Shooting-233x350.jpg\" alt=\"Bei Beauty oft \u00fcblich: &quot;nackte&quot; Schultern.\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bei Beauty oft \u00fcblich: &quot;nackte&quot; Schultern.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>strapless tops<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; in different colors, especially for beauty-shoots. In beauty-shoots you often use a crop where only face and shoulders are shown. Nothing shall distract the attention from the face\/make-up\/hair. So strapless tops are the method of choice. The alternative is the strapless bra, if your not to shy (which you normally shouldn&#8217;t be as a model).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>High-heeled shoes in different colors and shapes<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; mostly for fashion-shots (if you&#8217;re not told that shoes are already there).<br \/>\nLike most women a fashion-photographer hardly ever has enough shoes.<br \/>\nFor a complete outfit you always need the right shoes. This is already hard enough. Add the personal taste of the photographer, designer or stylist and you realise: it&#8217;s better to have too many shoes with you than not enough.<br \/>\nBy the way: I, for one, am not a fan of shoes that are very tapering to the tip (does anyone know the correct name of these?).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>alice band\/scrunchy, hair clips<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 To be able to vary and make your hairstyle fit. Hair clips are also very useful to make cloths appear more fitting.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>your book<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Your book is your application folder. At a shoot a photographer is able to look into it to see what you&#8217;ve done in your carreer, what you are experienced in and what you&#8217;re especially good in. Above that it&#8217;s usually helpful to estimate how you will appear with different stylings.<br \/>\nIf the client is present on the shoot he\/she maybe will discover some potential in your photos for more\/other jobs with you.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>A pack of comp cards<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; The comp card is the businesscard of the model. So every model should, like a business(wo)man, ALWAYS carry some with her\/him.\n<div>You never know whom you&#8217;ll meet and where the next big job is coming from&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>At least<strong><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"> one smooth-running pen<\/span><\/strong> &#8211; To fill out contracts and (in combination with a small scatchpad) to note important infos and adresses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>All of these articles are mendatory in my opinion!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Under certain conditions optional, but definitely an advantage are these things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>hairbrush, comb, some hairspray<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Even if a make-up artist or stylist is part of the team on the shoot, it&#8217;s always possible he\/she does&#8217;nt bring the right brush (e.g.), the hairspray runs out etc.<br \/>\nOf course that&#8217;s not your fault, but you&#8217;ll get a lot of &#8222;bonus points&#8220; if you&#8217;re prepared.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><strong>Your mandatory make-up <\/strong><\/span>(foundation, concealer, at least 2 eyeshadows, at least 2 lipsticks mascara, powder)- Very important for allergic persons of course and\/or if you&#8217;re sensitive to any products.<br \/>\nBesides that it&#8217;s the same as in the article before. To be prepared to every possible event is professional and maybe you get the next job because of this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>All contents are the intellectual property of Michael Gelfert and may be used for non-commercial\u00a0 purposes.
