Before the shoot itself starts (but after the Grooming check, Paperwork, and Clothing Selection), the Shoot Producer gives the models appearing in the shoot a Pre-Shoot Briefing.
This recaps what the models should already know about the shoot, but in practical terms (as it’s actually happening for real over the next few hours). The Shoot Producer will ask models to share their understanding of what’s required and expected before the shoot begins. Together, they will workshop some poses for the shoot, and other thematic ideas – this varies by the Shoot Type that has been booked.
The Pre Shoot Briefing applies to all Shoot Types, and even if there is only one model on-set. It’s a great opportunity to “get on the same page” with the Shoot Producer, and get your questions answered.
The Shoot Producer will also discuss how you like to receive feedback on the shoot, the planned end time of the shoot, and a few other admin details like that.
We typically shoot the still images first on a Solo shoot day, but there’s also a Pre-Video-Shoot Briefing (usually after lunch), where the specific needs of video are discussed.
