Welcome to Our Tips for Models Page!
In this section, we share practical advice for photo sessions across various styles, including boudoir, nude, World Elite Wings, and other forms of artistic photography. It’s essential that these tips are clear and coherent, as they are targeted at all our models who work with us. Our goal is to provide professional and friendly information that enhances each model's experience.
Here Are Some Standard Tips and Reminders for Models Prior to a Shoot
- Agree to the Terms: If you’re here because we will soon be making history together, be sure to agree to the terms of the model release in advance.
- Arrive on Time: Please aim to arrive 10 minutes early. If you haven’t purchased the makeup package, ensure you arrive fully made up, as time is limited.
- Preparation for Makeup: If you purchased the makeup package, come with a clean face. Hair doesn’t need to be wet but should be washed the night before.
- Cancellation Policy: If you need to cancel, notify the photographer at least 48 hours in advance to minimize disruption.
- Dress Appropriately: For nude or lingerie shots, wear loose-fitting clothes a few hours before the shoot to avoid clothing marks on your skin. A loose dress is ideal. Bring a bathrobe or kimono for comfort between sets.
- Set Your Limits: If doing nude work, communicate your comfort levels with the photographer in advance. Knowing your boundaries helps create a relaxed atmosphere.
- Pose Preparation: If you're inexperienced, assistance will be available, but it's helpful to practice poses and facial expressions in front of a mirror beforehand. Look for inspiration in magazines or on platforms like Instagram.
- Bring a Friend: If it helps you feel more comfortable, you can bring a friend to the session. Just inform me beforehand so I can accommodate everyone.
- Rest Well: The night before the shoot, go to bed early and stay hydrated. Arriving tired or hungover will hinder your performance.
- Grooming: If you need to shave or wax, do it close to the shoot time but allow enough time for skin irritation to settle. Pay attention to your eyebrows.
- Nail Care: Keep your nails and toenails neat. For lingerie or nude shots, avoid bold nail polish or patterns unless discussed with the photographer.
- Send References: If you haven’t sent reference photos of the style you want, do it now! This ensures we’re on the same page.
- Avoid Tanning Beds: Refrain from using tanning beds two days prior to the shoot; your skin might have an unusual hue.
- Nutrition Matters: Don’t starve yourself before a shoot. You need energy! Focus on foods that prevent bloating while keeping you feeling full.
What Can I Bring?
For Boudoir Sessions
- Accessories: Bring items like jewelry, scarves, or flowers. Bold pieces can stand out in photos.
- Lingerie: Choose pieces that make you feel comfortable and confident.
- Stockings and Fishnets: Consider garter belts or well-fitting stockings.
- Varied Clothing: Elegant options are great, but feel free to be creative. For example, a short jacket paired with a thong can create striking images.
- Shoes: High heels are an excellent choice to enhance your look.

FAQ
1. Can I take photos at home or another location instead of a studio?
Yes, you can. Just make sure the location has the appropriate conditions, such as good lighting and enough space, to ensure we get great photos.
2. Can two or more girls be in the photos, and how is the cost handled?
No problem at all. The price will remain the same, plus an additional cost per person. You can also split the session cost among yourselves. Keep in mind that the time will be divided among you.
3. Do you edit the photos you deliver and retouch bodies?
Yes, all selected photos from your personalized gallery are edited to enhance contrast, color, and other details. I sometimes make small adjustments in the images, but my goal is to highlight your natural beauty. If you want to remove specific details, like a tattoo, just let me know.
4. Can couple photos be taken and what types of photography do you do?
Absolutely! More couples are enjoying the experience of a photo shoot together. In a Boudoir session, we will capture your love story with sensual and delicate images. I do not take photos that are in bad taste or that do not represent me.
5. What should I do if I feel nervous during the session?
It’s completely normal to feel a bit nervous! I’m here to guide you and help you relax. I’ll provide pose instructions and support you throughout the process so you feel comfortable.
6. What happens if the weather isn't suitable for an outdoor session?
If the weather is unfavorable, we can reschedule the session or move it to an appropriate indoor space that fits your vision.
7. How long will it take for you to deliver the edited photos and what are your cancellation policies?
Normally, edited photos will be ready within 2 to 4 weeks after the session. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know at least 48 hours in advance. Please note that in case of cancellation, your deposit is non-refundable.
