How to find a model to take pictures?

These questions mentioned by the subject are all about the service of photography theme. The theme has been decided, and the next step is the preparation.

First, how to find a model?

1. Start with the people around you. {Relatives, friends and colleagues around me}

You can practice your hands from the people around you at first. In such a big circle, there must be several good-looking people with great bodies. They are all good models, as long as you can shoot and guide. Who doesn't want to get a set of photos for free, whether they are good or not? The key is yourself. Ask boldly. In fact, many people are happy to accept these invitations, not to mention people close to you.

2. Recommended by friends

Let friends around you help recommend. If your work is ok, I think they are all willing to help recommend it. Of course, some recommendations may not be the style you want, so in order to avoid embarrassment, you can let your friends look at the photos first, so that you can well control whether the models meet your own photography theme for later cooperation.

Use social networking sites

Use social platforms such as Weibo, Douban and WeChat. I often publish my own works, and post recruitment posts in the same city, or write to others privately in Weibo, and put forward my own requirements, hoping to make an appointment.

Second, the cost problem.

I wonder how much it costs. If you are a friend around you, it is negotiable, even free of charge. But if it's some famous and professional models, the cost may be higher, and the local and regional prices are different, depending on how you choose and who you choose.

Third, the issue of clothing.

1. Models bring their own clothes.

Models bring their own clothes, it is best to save time, effort and worry. But the premise is that you should show the model some clothing styles with your own shooting theme for the model's reference. Good communication in this way will save a lot of trouble later. You know, the color and style of clothes have a great influence on the style of the theme.

2. Go to Taobao to buy or rent.

Fourth, make-up and modeling issues.

Photos with different themes and styles have different makeup styles. Daily style, simple light makeup is ok, and modeling does not need to be particularly time-consuming. Ordinary shawl hair will do, as long as it meets your shooting theme.

Make-up gadgets must be prepared to prevent makeup from being spent or eyelashes from falling out in case of accidents.

If the subject wants to be more demanding, or the theme style is more complicated, such as the need for a makeup artist, the makeup and styling can be modified at any time according to the situation.

Having said that, to sum up, making an appointment must be the most important thing to decide the shooting theme first. After the theme is determined, the post-preparation work should focus on theme service, make more appointments and shoot more. I'm sure you can shoot the effect you want. I hope I can help you.
