Fashion photography: mistakes to avoid

Many brands have been supported. Here is the story of requests that turned out to be truly bad ideas.

• The winter photoshoot: Shooting swimsuits in Paris in November? Does the absurdity of this idea really need explaining?
• The amateur model: An inexperienced model requires a time-consuming artistic direction. The volume of images produced will be significantly impacted.
• Excessive pace: An excessive number of looks exhausts the team. This fatigue will inevitably be visible in the final photos.
• The textbook case: In the studio, 15 looks added at 17pm were rushed. This mediocre result was never used.
• Lack of authorization: Without an official declaration, immediate expulsion is a risk. The entire organization of the photoshoot would then be lost.
• Non-compliant prototypes: Non-compliant prototypes require costly rework. The budget will be heavily impacted by these color corrections.
• The unsuitable premises: A cramped room makes it difficult to manage the lighting. The visual quality of the images will be affected.
• The absence of makeup: Without a makeup artist, a tired complexion will be captured. The hoped-for natural look will turn into a sloppy appearance.
