Mistake No. 1. You spend little time looking for a photographer
As a rule, we choose a photographer solely through portfolio. But it is important to analyze not only the style and work of the master. You should be comfortable with a person at the beginning of the journey, when you are at the stage of preparing for a photo shoot and discussing the details. If this is not the case, there is a high probability that working together will not work.
Having made the final choice, try to trust the specialist: do not try to control each frame, relax and enjoy the shooting process. Finding the right angles and revealing your beauty is the task of a professional.
I also note that a competent photographer will give advice on choosing images, will be able to recommend a makeup artist, stylist and hairdresser.
Mistake #2: Over-posing and constantly looking at the camera
The most interesting photographs are obtained when people let go of the situation, enjoy the moment, without even noticing that they are being filmed.
Try to avoid artificial emotions and "play roles": you should not drink champagne for the sake of a beautiful photo, if in ordinary life you do not drink alcohol at all. If you are happy - do not frown and do not portray languid glances, and vice versa, if the mood is melancholy - you do not need to put on a smile. Don't try to be perfect, try not to think about how you look.
In order to worry less about the appearance, I advise you to discuss with the photographer in advance which poses and angles are unacceptable for you.
Mistake number 3. Too bright clothes and an abundance of accessories
It is advisable to choose images that are monophonic and calm in color (without bright prints), so that attention is focused on the face and emotions, and not on clothes and accessories. We're not filming a lookbook.
Mistake number 4. Uncomfortable shoes
Beautiful, but not broken or simply uncomfortable shoes can greatly spoil the mood and affect the shooting. Imagine that you have a 2-hour photo shoot ahead of you, and your shoes are tight. What natural emotions and postures can we talk about when it is uncomfortable to move and it is read on the face?
Mistake number 5. Refusal of the makeup artist
Along with clothing, make-up plays an important role in a photo shoot. For example, the wrong face tone and lipstick color can spoil the appearance so much that even a professional photographer will not fix it when editing pictures.
Another argument to turn to a professional makeup artist in this matter is that the master will make a stable makeup that will not flow during the shooting, which is very important!
If you still prefer to do your own make-up, choose waterproof cosmetics that blend as naturally as possible with your skin tone and clothing for a photo shoot. Read More…
