Pre-Photoshoot List

[splitfyre]

This thread is specific to those photographers whose main focus is on glamour portrait photography. A few months ago I came across a list that broke down what the model should be doing 72, 48, 24, and 12 hours before a given shoot. Unfortunately I never bookmarked it, and I'm currently creating my own list with my photography team that I work with. Does anyone have such a list already created? Just curious.

Thanks!

Was that list posted here on POTN?

72 hours before the shoot? You can't possibly expect to control people that way!

You just hope the talent won't overdose the night before or have a hangover on the day of the shoot.

Otherwise it's simple - sleep, drink, eat veggies, don't wear tight underwear.

I believe he's addressing the bigger talent and not just anybody, this is normal to have a "schedule" days ahead of time before a shoot to ensure you look the best possible (it's a models job, they're getting paid). Similar to a body building competition, they go through a specific schedule days to a week ahead of time to get ready for that competition. Obviously not for the "wanna be" or lesser scaled, but bigger its normal.

Tell me more. How do the pro models ensure they look the best possible?
