What’s the recommended order of events on a Solo shoot?

On the shoot day, the process will be basically like this (btw, how we explain it to models):

Morning

  • Warm intro of self and overview of the day
  • Get to know the model, work on warm-ups (especially, “emotional” first)
  • Get model paperwork completed in Homonoia (capture ID, Release form, Before HWB)
  • Select clothes the model will wear (Backstage opportunities!); let her change in private
  • Select suitable room to shoot in; set-dress as-necessary
  • Setup flash gear for stills
  • Pre Shoot Briefing
  • Complete warm ups – physical and vocal (more Backstage opportunities)
  • Shoot stills
  • Refer to the Shoot Plan while shooting; ensure all Must-Haves are captured; shoot Dressing Room.

Afternoon

  • Have a lunch break. A well-fed model is a happy model, and happy models make good shoots! Backstage…
  • Do physical and vocal warm ups again (Backstage opportunities)
  • Pre video shoot Briefing
  • Shoot video
  • Refer to the Shoot plan while shooting; ensure all Must-haves captured
  • Finalise Model Release in Homonoia, and the “After” handwritten Bio (Backstage opportunities)
  • Warm and friendly goodbye (Backstage!)
