03. How to Conduct Your First Boudoir Portfolio Shoot! Part 2

DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE

In this episode we'll talk about creating mood boards and conducting your first boudoir portfolio building photo shoot. This is a two part series of How to Conduct Your First Boudoir Portfolio Shoot. To catch up I encourage you to go back to episode 2.

First things first, you'll want to create a mood board for your session. You have two options.

Option 1: You can go to Pinterest, create a board, add inspiration for hair, makeup, posing, style. Then add your makeup artist, hair stylist, and model to it.

Option 2: Do a google search for the style of boudoir that you're trying to go for. Maybe your style is dark and moody? black and white? Light and airy? High fashion? Maybe it's a blend of both. Regardless save the images in a folder on your desktop that you can show everyone that's involved with the shoot.

Next you can have your 'models' do their own hair and makeup or you can hire someone to do it. If you don't know where to go, ask your hair stylist if they would be open to doing hair or if they know anyone that would be a good fit. Be sure you tell them what kind of shoot it is. Some hair stylists will work in exchange for images of their work. The same for makeup artists.

What to pack for your shoot.

What to do the night before.

During the shoot.

When shooting, this is important, don't ever tell your subject that it's not working or anything negative. Even if it isn't working.

After the shoot, get your photos edited. Everyone is really excited to see their photos and be sure to deliver in a timely manner.

If you have any questions feel free to hit me up in the group Boudoir Business Education and post your mood boards! We would love to see your shoots as well!.
