If your Photographs will be taken with artificial lighting (Flash/Strobes), make sure your make up/foundation is not lighter than your skin; you can do a test on your neck/shoulder to get a better match for even skin tone on your Photographs.

Avoid foundations with Sun Protection or Titanium Dioxide, that way you will prevent color shifts in your make up once the flash/strobes are used.

For the new models in the industry; here are some pages you may want to download and print for reference no matter who the photographer is, you can also add more tips as you see fit, but here are some basics to get you started on your first Photoshoot:

Preparation

Remember, the better you keep your skin looking, the better you will feel the day of your shoot, not only it will show on the final quality but on your attitude reflected by your images...keep it positive, we are not using negatives any more!

If this information is to boring for you, I have made a special game to kill your time in a better way! and by the way, this may not work on MAC's and you must be using internet "Explorer"

Something to keep you busy!

Happy Shooting!

 

11 Rules that they did not teach you in School!

Rule 1: Life is not fair... get used to it.

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He
doesn't have tenure.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping-they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. You have to do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to
leave the coffee shop and go to jobs… (well, some of us do spend more time at the Coffee Shop/Tea House but that is besides the point! I am a photographer, what can you expect?)

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
