Modeling Advice Frequently Asked Questions and Articles
By Joe Edelman - The Business of Modeling
What To Bring To A Shoot
Everything except the kitchen sink and even that can sometimes make a great prop! :-)
- Your clothing
- If you are shooting with me, you will have already provided a detail list of styles and colors at least 1 week prior to the shoot.
What you need to have in your modeling bag can vary from one shoot to the next. If you are working with a makeup artist or hair stylist, you generally won't need to carry hair or makeup products, however it is a good plan to carry them just in case.
For a detailed list of what should be included in your makeup kit - Click Here.
The following is a pretty complete list of everything else that you might need.
Hair
- Headband, rubber bands, bobby pins
- Brushes, combs
- Hair appliances (curling iron, rollers, straighteners)
Skin
