Information for models at any photo-shoot
The following advice is from a professional stylist.
For women
2 days before the shoot
- Hair should be cut several days before the shoot.
- Have a manicure and pedicure, finish the nails with a clear lacquer.
- For those with dark hair, check the sideburns, arms, legs, bikini line and upper lip. Wax or bleach the hair.
- If you're going to be doing closeups (makeup shoots especially) have a light facial to close the pores.
The day before the shoot
- Wash the hair. Do not wash the hair the day of the shoot, it's easier to manage that way.
On the day
- Leave all jewelery home.
- Wear antiperspirant, not deodorant which can stain the clothes.
- Do not wear perfume which will also mark the clothes.
- Bring several pairs of shoes appropriate to the shoot.
- Bring several colors of underwear, especially a strapless bra and g-string in black, white and flesh color.
- Wear a button down shirt and sweat pants with no underwear plus sneakers to the shoot. You may look terrible when you arrive but there will be no marks and the stylist will soon have you looking fabulous.

For men
2 days before the shoot
- Hair should be cut several days before the shoot.
- Have the finger and toenails done and trimmed square.
- If you're having closeups done get a light facial.
- Trim or shave the armpit hair if it shows when your arms are down at your sides.
The day before the shoot
- Wash the hair the day before the shoot, not the day of the shoot.
- Arrive the day of the shoot with a beard shadow and bring your shaving kit and a towel so you can do either a clean and/or a rugged look.
- Take off all rings and watches the day before to avoid marks.
