OK, I know some of you might read this and get the urge to say something like "know what you're doing before you do it noob" or something like that, but please spare us. With that said, this weekend I am doing my first shoot. I have release forms, I told the model to bring ID, I have people lined up to not only be there but to also record the shoot on video. Am I missing anything? Anyone have any advice for the first shoot to make it go as smoothly as possible? Thanks in advance.

I agree. Lighting can make or break the photos. A good make-up artist is priceless too, if you're not on a very tight budget.Originally posted by cutetwink

It's a bit more than the buy camera in the morning, book girl in the afternoon, shoot in the evening. But it might be useful to read this.Comment

Since you're in Hawaii - you might want to shoot outdoors. Avoid direct sunlight if possible, choose a background that will provide some contrast with the model, and follow Charly's advice too.
If you're shooting video, you gotta do 3 things right:
1) White-balance on a WHITE [duh] piece of paper put against the object you're shooting [i.e. the model]
2) Set Zebra [on pro-camcorders] to 75-85% and monitor exposure carefully. If you expose right, you should have some part of the model's skin going into the zebra and some [the darker part] outside the zebra.
3) If you plan to zoom in a lot, make sure you use a tripod. I would advise that you use the widest possible lens setting and come real close to the model. That way you get 2 benefits: 1) if your hand shakes, it's less noticeable; and 2) everything is in focus. A third benefit is you're real close to the model lol!
Good luck ... you'll improve with time. Remember to post some photos from the shoot
