Things to bring to
the shoot?
As you are a girl,
and therefore in the
eyes of all us men –
utterly “mad” -
experience tells me
what generally
happens is that on
the day of the shoot
you all stuff
“higgledy piggledy”
(as my mum would
say) half the
contents of your
wardrobe into a tiny
suitcase (Nb: your
suitcase is
evidently crafted by
the same people that
built the TARDIS).
Most of it ends up
creased and it takes
us ages at the start
of the shoot sorting
through what we can
work with. In
addition - I END UP
IRONING YOUR CLOTHES
WHILE YOU PUT YOUR
MAKE UP ON, OR I END
UP CHASING YOUR PET
CAT THAT YOU
ACCIDENTALLY SHUT IN
THE SUITCASE WHEN
YOU WERE PACKING IN
A RUSH.
Sooooo.
Can I just leave it
to you to pick just
one or two outfits
that you want me to
shoot and leave the
rest at home!?!!
Usually, a model
tends to pick a cool
couple of cool
dresses, maybe some
favourite lacy
underwear.
Quick list of things
to bring?
Essential
• Make Up -
Foundation, Blusher,
Eye shadow/Lipsticks
(remember I have eye
shadow and lipsticks
that I favour for
shoots here – but
feel free to bring
your own), Black Eye
pencil, Black
Mascara etc
• Black plain cotton
thong/string
• White plain cotton
thong/string
• Plain black bra
• Plain white bra
• Your favourite
pair of scruffy blue
jeans (preferably
utterly knackered,
with holes in, no
sequins or other
decoration, tight
fitting on the leg
running out to at
least a boot cut or
ideally a really big
flare. I like to
shoot models in
jeans as they work
well for the
“natural” fashion
stuff, combined with
baggy/oversized tops
it gives a natural
“lounging about at
home” feel to
things, but then
when the jeans are
matched the more
coutured tops - the
bottom half
contrasts really
well and overall
ensures the look
isn’t too contrived.
Sometimes Useful
• Hair clips/combs –
if you wish to pin
your hair up etc –
although I do have
scrunchies, bands
etc)
• Black mini/micro
skirt

you have really have
to! plain solid
colours – not gold
or silver – and only
with a minimum 3
inch lift)
• Plain silver
jewellery –

simple!
