Photographers- Tips for first shoot? - GoFuckYourself.com

maxcom · 12-23-2004, 02:50 PM

Hi Guys,
I have a small non porn related project going on and need some tips from the professional photographers.

How does the process work? The girls show up, sign release, take face/2ids pictures, test shoot then call back the ones you want and pay only those?

Do you pay for the test shoot or is that like an interview?

Whats good for hourly non nude?

Good digital camera/flash < $1k?

Would you recommend hanging a sheet or a white wall for background?

Not much money to spend at all (the camera will just be returned) so I just want to get the most bang for the buck.

Thank you!

if it's non porn shoot then it doesn't matter - just try to get their clothes off as soon as possible - that's what the pros do - hehe. get releases and any biz done upfront - it's all negotiable but get something on paper first - shoot whatever you want just make sure everyone walks away with something worthwhile. non-nude isn't my bag - sheet is boring - be creative or don't even try - u can get amazing camera deals all over the place now - $600 will get a cam that will get the job done. good luck and have fun.

Be careful with the white sheet idea. White backgrounds will trick your in -camera meter into underexposing the model. Stay away from black too. Go with a medium blue type of background if you need one. But I've found that sloppy studio look doesn't sell well. Clean, uncluttered natural surroundings seem to work best.

Nobody cares when you registered, you're still a broke ass surfer who buys stuff, uses it and then returns it. That makes you a fucking loser thief. And you must be a surfer, because if you were a real webmaster you'd be able to afford a camera, fuckstain.

pay them & sign model release AFTER the shoot.

this way if they don't do what you can send their ass home.

too many times models get paid up front and do shitty work.

Thats reasonable. Should I do a test shoot to weed out any uglies that might show up with cute friends?
