Seniorologie Podcast Episode 39 – How To Plan Styled Model Shoot

January 27, 2021

 
Styled model shoots are essential to having a successful model team!  Not only do you need to do shoots in order to give your models content to help them market and promote your business but you need to give them a chance to experience what it is like to work with you so they can tell their friends all about you!  A styled model shoot or several is a great way to give your models the opportunity to work with you throughout their senior year and show and tell their friends how great you are!!
Planning and executing a styled senior photoshoot can seem overwhelming if you have never done one and even to this day, I can get a little nervous before going into a styled shoot.  But with a little planning and the tips I’m sharing in this episode of the podcast, you can plan a styled model shoot for your team with ease!!
In today’s episode of The Seniorologie Podcast, I am sharing how to plan a styled model photoshoot for your senior model team!
The Seniorologie Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Leslie Kerrigan, creator of Seniorologie, for high school senior photographers.  Whether you are just starting out or you have been photographing seniors for a while, The Seniorologie Podcast is your resource for all things senior photography related.
Highlights from Episode 39:

* Why do styled model shoots – You may be wondering why do I even need to do styled model photoshoots.  In this episode, I am sharing three really good reasons to plan styled model shoots and why you should be doing these for your team!
* The concept – Styled model shoots have a theme or a vibe or concept to them.  They are meant to be different than a normal senior session and they allow us as photographers to be creative while giving our senior model team something fun to participate in.
* The Shoot Plan – Having a concept or a vision isn’t the only thing you need to create a successful styled model shoot.  You need a vision board, a location, a date, a shot list and more!  In this episode, I break down the things you need to do before the shoot to help your shoot go well!
