So, good photoshoot could ensure that it is a success. Then, here we are, giving you 5 most important tips you should prepare before your long-day of photoshoot. Let’s get to the list!
1. Create Your Vision board
If you think vision boards are bogus, then the joke’s on you. They work, and there’s actually a really simple explanation of why they work so well. That’s what Elizabeth Rider told on Huffington Post about Vision Board. Well, basically, vision board could help you to stay focus and make you away from your demanding habit.

2. Choose Your Photographer
Be sure you select the RIGHT photographer. Right is not always meaning the expert and high budget. Choose photographer is really important, as important as choosing your life-time partner. First, search some photographer that suitable to your concept. It means, make sure they are having experience and portfolio with common subject. Then, choose a few photographer that can be suitable to your cost. After that, tell them about your plan, then choose which one that can pursue your heartbeat and help you keep up with expectation.
3. Choose the Model, Make Up Artist and Stylist

Don’t worry to call the top model agencies as they may be willing to send you some of their newer models who need work. It’s also working to the make up artist and stylish. Make sure they get the point about their measurement, how to make the product is having value more than the model and make up. Put your product on the top. Dominant model and make up or maybe wardrobe could break your product, whatever the product is.
