Before shooting, planning is really crucial to create a vision or get inspired as to what mood or what outcome you need from your shoot. For this step, research is crucial, keep looking in magazines or the internet of shoots of products or attractive images. You can even opt-out for a collage of inspirational photos for you to look at it and stick to your vision.

Basics of fashion photography

• Start with your friend as a model or use yourself in shoots, so that you gain confidence, try different lighting or compositions and see how they look. Don’t worry about the appropriate clothing or background, just try out with different items etc and try creating something meaningful from scratch
• Always make sure that your models are comfortable as it becomes evident in the picture if the model is tensed or uncomfortable, break the ice by spending some time with them and let them be, that’s what leads to beautiful images
• Focus on the quality of the garment or how it is worn, as you grow in this field as it can impact the look or feel of the image even if the location or lighting is perfect

Tips for Shooting

• Experimenting with light is a never-ending process, so play around with the lights as it can make a great difference in converting a good photo into a great one.
• Make sure the settings of the camera are in order, for eg- if you are going for a basic studio shoot settings like 7 or 8 aperture, around 160 shutter speed, 160 to 200 ISO and strobe light close to 8 is required for the photo to appear sharp or crisp
• Before your model arrives make sure you take test shots to check if proper lighting or setting is there for the shoot, preparation is important in whichever field you opt for.
• Rather than trying out to fix a discrepancy later on with editing make sure you step out of the camera and look for any styling issue etc in the photograph

After shooting is done, or mode according to the vision is captured if the editing is not top-notch, the finish of the image will not come out as incredible. Make sure saturation is adjusted perfectly or a good editing tool is used and nothing is overdone.
