PHOTOSHOOT TIPS & GUIDES

5/1/20251 min read

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.
