PHOTOSHOOT TIPS & GUIDES

1. ✅ Know Your Objective First
Before renting a space or calling models — ask:
“What’s the goal of this shoot?”
A portfolio update? A brand campaign? A pre-wedding reel?
Clarity here helps you pick the right location, lighting, props, and vibe.
2. 📍 Choose the Right Location
Don’t underestimate the power of space!
For bold fashion, go with a minimalist studio.
For romantic content, try a villa with natural light.
Music video? Try open farmhouses or raw sets.

3. 🎒 Pack a Shotlist
Spontaneity is cool. But a clear shotlist will save you from chaos. Include:
Types of shots (wide, mid, close)
Poses or angles you want
Prop or outfit-specific frames
4. 💡 Lighting is Everything
Golden hour is great, but not always possible.
Use soft diffused light for portraits
Avoid direct harsh sunlight unless going for dramatic effects
Most of our studios offer professional lighting setups – ask us when booking!
5. 👗 Plan Your Outfits (With a Backup!)
Outfits should match the location and concept.
Try bold tones in muted spaces, pastels for airy vibes.
Always carry an extra outfit, just in case.
6. 💄 Hair & Makeup: Don’t DIY If It’s High Stakes
If it’s a commercial or professional shoot — hire a makeup artist.
Even simple touch-ups can make a world of difference on camera.
7. 🧘 Keep Everyone Comfortable
Especially important for baby, maternity, and couple shoots.
Carry water, snacks, and fans
Book AC studios if shooting for hours
Keep the vibe chill so people feel natural on camera
8. 📷 Use the Right Gear
No need for the fanciest equipment, but:
Use a tripod for stability
Reflectors for light balance
Wireless remote for solo creators
📍Bonus: Some Artistic Spacez venues offer free gear rentals. DM us to ask!
9. 🎶 Bring Music for the Mood
The right playlist sets the energy.
Lively beats = confidence boost. Soft melodies = cozy comfort.
Bluetooth speakers are your secret weapon.
10. 🧹 Leave the Space Better Than You Found It
This one’s simple. Respect the venue.
Clean up, return props, and don’t damage walls/floors.
A good rep gets you early access to future venues and deals.

A successful photoshoot is 30% creativity and 70% planning.
