Help 1st time doing a photo shoot - GoFuckYourself.com

etriplex · 04-02-2009, 07:45 PM

I need some help can anyone give some advice or maybe a step by step on getting the forms signed and shooting the photos. Any help will be helpful 1st time. I just need something to go by. I am nerves. I guess what I am trying to say is how do you guys go to get the content. This is amateur shoot so, it not going to be at a studio. I am trying to make it homemade as possible. That brings up another question where to do the shoot? Would it be Ok to tell them where ever they are comfortable? (In their bedroom or their home)

what gear are you using, we need to know that in order to give pointers.

Well I am trying to make it as amateur as possible. What I was think was just to use a off the shelf digital camera.

If you are going to just use a point and shoot camera i say do stuff outside where you will get a good lighting source or in a well lit house. Always make sure your subject or subjects are opened up, if you cant see the action you dont have much to sell. Make sure your models sign a legal 2257 release and have a copy of some sort of there IDs. I would also chekc the laws for porn in your area before making hardcore stuff, there has been a couple posts lately about people getting scorned for not following there local laws.

Other then that, coming from a model. You should stay relaxed and keep your thoughts collected. We work better (especially amateurs) when we have confidence in our producer. If your all nervous and clumsy we get annoyed fast. And the camera see's all.

You should shoot for fun first before doing something commercial. Find some models off OMP and do some TFP's. That will help you get over being nervous.

since you are a rookie, just being yourself will result in excellent amateur footage. the less you know the better.

The only way to get experience is to get experience.
