HOW DO I KNOW WHO TO SHOOT WITH ?
HOLLY BARKER SUCCESS HACK : The reason for your shoot . Firstly , what is the purpose of your photoshoot ? Do you have something in mind that you would like to aim for ? Do you see yourself on covers of magazines ? Do you see yourself in the pages of those magazines ? Do you wish to use these photos to market your brand , your product , yourself ? Have you trained really hard for a competition and want these photos as a momento for hard work paying off ? Perhaps you want to submit these photos for sponsorships and work in the industry as a representative for a certain brand or a promoter of a certain company . Maybe you just rock and you want this photoshoot solely for yourself or your loved one and not for public eyes ? Whatever your reason for shooting may be , you should come to this decision before choosing your photographer . If it ’ s the stars you aim for , shoot with the photographer that can help you get there !! It is important to know your goal and to use your resources to help you get there . Certain companies work with certain publications and certain publications work with certain photographers . It is a business . If you want to be in this business , prove the right people that you can contribute . You ’ ve trained really hard now make sure the right people are watching .
STEVEN SMITH ( TNMJ ) SUCCESS HACK You have got to do your research ! There are a lot of photographers ��� ����� ��� ������ ��� ��� ���� ��� � ����� ��� ���� �� ���������� ���� �� ��� ��������� ��� ��� ��� ������ ������ ��� ��� ��� ���� ��� ������� ����� ���� ��� ��� � ������������ ���� ��� ���� ����� out to people that have worked with them and ask questions . Once you feel comfortable with the photographer reach out to them and schedule a time for a quick meeting . You want to be as comfortable with the photographer as you can , this will make things less stressful on shoot day and always trust your gut !!

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TO PACK ? – WARDROBE WONDER
HOLLY BARKER SUCCESS HACK : My suitcase always includes the following :
• Nude , white , black underwear in boy short , bikini and thong style underwear - these are diverse and allow you to create many different looks with colourful tops !
• Heels – even if you are shooting from the waist up , everyone ����� ������ ��� ���� ��������� ���� �� �� ������� ���� �� �����
• Clear heels – these shoot great and are neutral so they will go with any color you are shooting in
• Cup Inserts – Weather you need a bit fuller look or need to tame perky girls , these are great to have ‘ just in case ’
• Robe � ���� �� ����� �� ���� ��� �� ������� ����� �������
STEVEN SMITH ( TNMJ ) SUCCESS HACK : When people ask me this question I give them all the same answer , “ Pack anything that represents you .” This is your photoshoot not mine and , as a photographer , I want to give you images that represent you . If you are a track star bring some track clothes , if you like fashion bring fashions that you would love to wear . Bring a variety of options . Different photographers like different looks so ask them if there is anything they would like you to bring . You could also reach out to a stylist at a local boutique , they can help you put some unique looks together .

BUT WHY PAY FOR A PHOTOSHOOT WHEN I CAN TAKE AN EPIC SELFIE ?
HOLLY BARKER SUCCESS HACK : Invest in yourself . If you admire a certain photographers style and you love the photos they shoot , invest in yourself . Usually a good photographer will work in coordinance with one or a few publications and if they like your look or see potential in you , they will pass your photos on with a good reference . They also have a network of people in the publishing business and can serve as great teachers , mentors and friends .
STEVEN SMITH ( TNMJ ) SUCCESS HACK : I learned a long time ago to invest in myself and you should too ! If you are looking for something to just post on social media real ���� ���� �� ���� ����� �� � ����� ������� ��� �� ��� ���� �� ����� � respectful brand then you really do need high quality professional images . As a professional photographer I will always ask what the goals are for these images . The answer to that determines the ����� ����� �� ���� �� �� ���������� �� �� ���� ����� ��� ������
