FAQ
How to prepare for photoshoot?
After you book a photoshoot, I send you a detailed guide on preparing for shooting, where all the questions are sorted out.
Briefly, it is advisable to prepare like this:
▫️ Choose harmonious, matching outfits for all participants in the photoshoot (for studio shooting, I recommend choosing two or even three outfits)
▫️ Sign up with a makeup artist, or work out your makeup and styling well
▫️ Before the day of the photoshoot, get a good night’s sleep, and before the shoot itself, feed all the participants 😃
▫️ Take a comb, cosmetics, napkins, a mirror with you
▫️ Check the route to the shooting location in advance and leave the house on time!)
How is the photoshoot going?
At the appointed time, we meet at the chosen location. If the shooting takes place in a photo studio, you need to come a little in advance (5-10 minutes) in order to have time to change clothes and enter the hall on time.
If several people take part in the photoshooting, I take not only joint photos, but also devote time to individual and couple shots. I also devote some time to details, whether it is the leaves of trees in the park or elements of clothing and decor. This is necessary in order to maintain a complete picture of what is happening. I usually shoot the details while you change the outfit. By the way, in an hour we manage to shoot 2-3 outfits in the studio, and 1-2 on a photo walk.
During the shooting, I help you with posing, literally telling you which foot to put and where to look 😊 I also sometimes show you “references”, i.e. examples of photos prepared by me in advance that we can repeat. You can also find references online and show them to me before or during the shoot.
I use multiple lenses in order to take diverse photos, so I sometimes change them during the shooting process. And I can also run far away, or vice versa, come close — all for the sake of variety!)
At the photoshoot, we communicate in a relaxed friendly atmosphere 🤗
How many photos will we receive and how long does processing take?
For an hour of walking or studio shooting, about 100 photos are obtained. Retouching takes up to 14 days depending on the number of shoots 🙃
If we are talking about wedding shooting, the waiting period is about one month, and the number of photos is at least 50 for each hour of shooting (as a rule, it turns out more).
Let’s be friends!
On Instagram, I share tips & ideas and talk about the everyday life of a photographer. I also post backstages from the shootings and funny reels, announce “photodays” and sometimes even arrange photoshoot raffles. I encourage you to subscribe if you haven’t already! 😊
