I’m always trying to learn, so here a few tips I’ve learnt the hard way.
- Always have poses prepared. It’s worth having a plan for the first 10-15 mins. This comes in handy when the brain suddenly decides to stop working, or something happens just as you arrive at the shot.
- Don’t have your models too close to background – They can often cast shadows onto the background and if shooting high key, the lit background acts as huge light source lighting the subject, like a rim light.
- Consider trying to get the kids on your own, away from their parents – You may get more from kids.
- A small seat might be useful on a shot, a stool is even better as it’s got no back.
- Teach your assistance how to put up/pack away the the kit.
- Have a check list of your kit, which you can go through when you’re leaving.
- Bottle of water, and maybe snacks if a long shoot.
