How to do a Fashion Shoot
I have had several queries regarding Fashion shoots. Before I proceed, never pay over the standard editorial rate for a model when shooting for a "magazine" or as a "submission to a magazine". Tariff A is around $120-200 USD per day. Not more than that. I say magazines because editorial is in its self a form of free large scale promotion for all of the team members involved. Anyone charging more is taking advantage of you. Nonetheless here is my advice in several essays: http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/2009 … e-process/ http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/2012 … -together/ http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/2011 … phy-shoot/ http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/2012 … ion-shoot/ http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/2010 … y-part-14/ http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/2010 … y-part-13/ Good Luck Ben  Jun 28 14 07:25 am Link Some great ideas in there. Jun 28 14 03:40 pm Link Thanks, Benjamin! RBD Jun 28 14 03:46 pm Link thx for sharing!!  Jun 28 14 04:13 pm Link Wisdom from a master... The hair stylist has already begun and usually starts before the make up artist. This is done to avoid possible smudging of the work that has been executed by the make up artist. The two of them discuss what they will be doing and then call in the photographer and the stylist to give us an over all view of what the model will look like. This is done to avoid any misunderstandings. Re-doing hair and make-up is a nightmare and will usually take another two hours of precious time. As a makeup artist I cherish the thoughtful concern for appropriate staging of hair/makeup... and embrace having close coordination between vanity services... experience is a brutal teacher here...

Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question. Sep 11 14 07:26 am Link StevenJermaine wrote: That is for a Day. The editorial is what gets them the big Advertising Campaigns for 10+K per day. Sep 11 14 08:08 am Link Or in other words Benjamin's post could be read as; it's a lot less expensive to hire a legit agency model than a model of a web site such as MM.

Pay attention folks, this is a for real fashion photographer, who I have already noticed on this site. The one caveat, is Europe and the U.S. are a little different. Europe has more latitude, in styling than the U.S. as a rule. Jan 12 15 08:48 am Link Thank you very much for sharing. I really admire you, your work is fantastic! There's something I've always wondering about editorial works: how much time do the magazines give to a photographer to realize a fashion shoot? Do they tell you the exact days to shoot or you can decide? Supposing they want the photos for the september issue, when will they contact you? And when will they want the photos (after a week, two weeks, a month...)? Jan 15 15 02:20 am Link neve wrote: Jan 15 15 12:37 pm Link Thanks for sharing.. You got an awesome blog.
