It helps Shoot Producers make excellent shoots for our customers when they have options – while the red top you hoped to wear might be lovely, the Shoot Producer may be creatively inspired by the pink top with the three-way straps and direct you to do interesting things with those during video – things you had not considered an option before!
The clothing and other items we ask models to bring to shoots are used by Shoot Producers to add realism, colour and texture to our shoots. While you may only wear one outfit in a shoot, other clothing items may be used as “set dressing” in the background.
The clothes listed in our Clothes to bring page should always be brought to shoots. Things that do not need to be brought to the shoot include;
- Clothes worn in previous shoots (for example, the clothes worn on Monday’s shoot do not need to be brought to Tuesday’s or Wednesday’s shoot), or to subsequent shoot blocks (unless specifically requested by a Shoot Producer)
- Black or beige clothes
- “Going out” clothes
- Makeup case
- Hair straighteners / curlers (unless you really want to)
- Any shoes with heels
- Laptop (unless specifically requested by SP)
However, this may mean a heavy bag of clothes needs to be carried to the shoot location. It may be possible to leave the bag (or at least, its contents) at the shoot location for the next day’s shoot – ask the Shoot Producer.
We strongly recommend wheeled bags to make this process easier, but note that in Europe, many hotels and multi-story shooting locations do not have elevators.
