Be Real and Don't Try Too Hard If you are
not being yourself it is going to look like you
are trying too hard. Instead, immerse yourself
in the situation and relax. Don't imagine a
specific look or image and try to be that
image. That image already exists –
create your own!
Create Positive Energy. Slow
down, enjoy and be part of the
shoot. Your energy will come
through and the final result
will be far more powerful.
Be Engaged, Be Patient. If
you are rushing or impatient
that energy and emotion
will flow through the whole
crew on the shoot.
Sometimes a shoot builds
up its own speed, energy
and momentum but there
is also plenty of sitting
around in a shoot. Be ready
to get back into the zone
when needed and relax
when you can.
Be InThe Moment. If you
need a shot that needs you
to reach above your head
then imagine you are
reaching for the sky and
touching the clouds – be it –
don't pose it!

Don't Decide You Know Better.
Suggest ideas for the shoot or things that you
know work for you. Mostly your ideas will be
accepted. If not you need to take rejection
positively - learn from it.
Be Prompt and Communicate!
Don't turn up late as it is disrespectful
to all involved. You will influence
the energy and emotion of
the set and get things off to a
bad start – and remember –
you are the subject of the final
images!
Work With Experienced People
Whenever Possible.Try to do work
with experienced Fitness
Photographers – even if it is TFP
(Trade for Photos). The
more experience, the more you
will rise above the “ordinary”.
There is so much opportunity for
people that want to excel in
this field. There is a
greater opportunity to succeed in
a market that is young and not
over-supplied. Be real, be motivated
and be professional. So think about
what's been said here and
start your journey!
