HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR BEST PHOTOSHOOT YET

Felix Crown . 2 July, 2025

You’ve booked your shoot. The date is set. Excitement is building.

Now, you might be wondering:

“What can I do to make sure I get the most out of this photoshoot?”

At Felix Crown, we believe preparation is key to a smooth, stress-free, and successful shoot. Here are our top tips to ensure you show up confident and ready to create magic:

🎯 1. KNOW YOUR GOAL

What do you want your photos to communicate?

Whether it’s personal branding, engagement, product launch, or a lifestyle shoot — clarity on your goal helps us craft images that align with your vision and needs.

Ask yourself:

  • Who are these photos for?
  • Where will I use them?
  • How do I want people to feel when they see them?

✨ 2. PLAN YOUR OUTFITS INTENTIONALLY

Choose outfits that:

✅ Make you feel confident and comfortable

✅ Align with your brand colours or the shoot mood

✅ Fit well and allow movement without constant adjusting

Pro tip: Bring extra options. It gives variety to your shoot and flexibility if one outfit doesn’t photograph as expected.

💡 3. REST WELL THE NIGHT BEFORE

Sleep is underrated. Being well-rested ensures:

  • Brighter eyes and clearer skin
  • Better mood and energy
  • More patience and confidence on set

Hydrate well the day before and day of your shoot for glowing skin.

📸 4. TRUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER’S DIRECTION

You don’t need to know how to pose. That’s our job.

At Felix Crown, we guide you gently through micro-adjustments to ensure each photo feels natural, powerful, and authentically you.

Relax, follow our cues, and enjoy the process.

🖌️ 5. DON’T OVERTHINK YOUR EXPRESSIONS

Some of your best photos will come from candid moments — a laugh, a thoughtful look away, an unposed gesture. Allow yourself to be present, and let your true energy shine through.

✨ 6. BRING PROPS OR ITEMS THAT TELL YOUR STORY

If this is a branding or lifestyle shoot, bring props that reflect what you do or love — a laptop, camera, product, flowers, books, or tools of your craft.

These create context, personality, and connection in your images.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Preparation turns a good photoshoot into an unforgettable one.

At Felix Crown, we’re not just here to take photos. We’re here to guide, direct, and co-create visuals that tell your story powerfully and beautifully.
