Do you provide wardrobe or does the model?

Fierylight · 27th of May 2011 (Fri)

Hi guys, I was wondering about something. Who provides the model's wardrobe and outfits? Does the photographer pay for the clothing with their own money? Or does the model provide her own outfits?

And if the photographer pays for the outfits, does he keep them to use on other models or does he let the model keep the outfits?

What has been your guys experiences?

It really depends on the situation. If there is a particular concept I want to shoot, I'll put together the wardrobe and props and they become part of my inventory. I may shoot several different models over using variations of the same theme.

If a model wants a particular concept shot, she provides the wardrobe.

Sometimes a model will have some pieces that fit with my theme and we'll use those as part of my shoot and vice versa.
