How should I end the shoot day with a model?

All things being equal, people tend to recall the start and end of meeting new people the best, so ending a day of hard work on a high is nice for both the SP and the model.

Even if the SP is in a rush to leave, and even if the model has been difficult to work with – don’t dampen the memories by being brusque or disengaged.

Consider some of these approaches in the last few minutes of your together time to end on a high note;

  • Appreciation for their commitment and hard work
    • Express interest in seeing the edited version “come together”
  • Appropriate compliments
  • An expression of interest in working together again in the future
    • Only if it’s true
  • A high five / some kinda dap greeting
  • A handshake with eye contact
  • A hug, but only if the model offers first
