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 purpose of this session is to capture clean, authentic images that highlight your natural beauty, facial features, and presence in front of the camera, without unnecessary retouching or heavy styling.
We’ll shoot in a studio with flash lighting and throughout the session, i’ll guide you with posing tips. You’ll bring 3-4 personal outfits, simple and minimalist looks work best, remember to not forget basic underwear and high heels.
A professional stylist will be present on set to help you make the most of your outfit choices.
No makeup is required.
