Beautiful Female Photography Art Picture 1Don't start your shoot without having a solid idea of what you want to achieve. Walking on to a set with no clear picture of what you want to happen is a waste of time. And money, too. Costs run at every tick of the clock. So you must be very prepared. In fact, it really helps sometimes to over prepare.
Beautiful Female Photography Art Picture 2Fashion photography is a team effort. You need to work with models, makeup artists, hair stylists, and set designers. Be open to ideas and suggestions. But take charge. Don't let anyone take over your vision. It can be a disaster if you do. Photography is telling a story. And like writers, photographers need to execute the story very smoothly for the audience to understand what they're really trying to say.
Beautiful Female Photography Art Picture 3Experiment from all possible angles when shooting. Shoot and move. Move more. Shoot and move. You have to find the perfect shot. Don't wait it to come to you. You also have to be a director. While some models don't need much direction, don't lose sight of your direction. Again, create and don't wait for the best shot.

Experiment with the elements of photography. It's okay if the lighting isn't perfectly flattering or if the framing doesn't direct attention to the subject. Just make sure that you're consistent all throughout.
