MATERIAL
The things you should bring with you when you are shooting with a
model
• 

Release form
when you are shooting with a
model under 18, the parents
are obligated by the law to
sing a release form.
I’d suggest brining one
regardless of the model’s age.
A release form is a contract
between you and the model
that explains both people’s
right to the final pictures
(stay tuned for a release form
model)

• 

Long Mirror
When shooting with a model , try
bringing a long mirror in witch he/she
can see him/herself while posing.
When working with someone with
little/no experience, the mirror will
assure you the best result possible.
If the model can see him/herself
while you are taking the pictures, he/
she can adjust his/her poses to give
you the best result possible.
Not a lot of photographers use that
technique but I’d recommend it if
you’re not quite sure of how to direct
your models yet
