What's a test shoot?

A test shoot is a collaborative session between a photographer and a model.
It's all about experimenting with different looks, poses, and styles, without the stress of a commercial shoot.

It’s a great way to build a strong portfolio that can help catch the eye of agencies, brands, and potential clients.

The photoshoot

The goal of this session is to create clean, natural photos that bring out your unique beauty, facial features, and confidence in front of the camera — no heavy makeup, no over-the-top styling, and no unnecessary retouching.

We’ll be shooting in a studio with flash lighting, and I’ll be there to guide you with simple posing tips throughout.

Each session lasts about one to two hours, and during that time, I’ll encourage you to relax, be yourself, and stay expressive — that’s what makes the difference!

A professional stylist will also be on set to help you choose and style your outfits, so you’ll feel comfortable and look your best.

No makeup is needed — just come as you are!

The essentials you should bring to a model test shoot

  • Proper undergarments in neutral colors—nude, black, and white are essential. 
  • Heels (especially in nude and black), flats, or sneakers are great choices.
    • Hair essentials: brush, hair ties, and any necessary styling products. 
      • Nails: Clean, well-groomed, and either natural or with a neutral polish.
