Photo Series - What Exactly Is A Photo Series?
A photo series is a series of photographs that are thematically related and often tell a story. A photo series also serves to illustrate a certain concept or to present different facets of a model. In the world of modelling agencies , photo spreads play a very central role overall. They are used to showcase the versatility and talent of the models . Above all, this gives the model the chance to expand their existing portfolio and impress potential clients in the process. A professional photographer creates specific photo series, for example, to highlight and emphasise your strengths as a model or your individual style. This makes it possible to showcase the model for a wide variety of jobs and projects. Be it for themed fashion campaigns, commercials or editorials.
What is important for a photo series?
The creation of a photo series begins with a clear idea or concept. In many cases, this is provided by the photographer or the agency for which the photos are being created. The first thing to consider is what theme or story the photo series should convey. The appropriate team is then put together, consisting of stylists , make-up artists and sometimes also creative directors. The respective look of the photo series is then planned in close collaboration - from the choice of outfits and make-up to the location and props . During the photo shoot itself, it is important that everyone involved is very well prepared and shares the vision. The model has to adopt various poses and create facial expressions that match the story that has been defined in advance. The photographer, in turn, finds the best angles and light settings etc. to capture the images in the best possible way. After the photo shoot, the photos are selected and edited. Each individual image is carefully considered and only the photos that best realise the concept and show the model at her best are selected. Post-processing plays a very important role in achieving the desired aesthetic and creating a harmonious overall image. Finally, the photo series is presented. Be it on the modelling agency's website, in social media, in magazines or at client presentations.
The art of the photo shoot: How professional photo series can boost a model's career
A well thought-out and professionally realised photo series can significantly advance a model's career, as it impressively focuses on their skills and potential. It serves not only as a visual portfolio, but also as a creative means of expression for the model - and not least as a convincing marketing tool for the agency. From the model's point of view, a photo shoot is certainly more than just posing and smiling at the camera. The right preparation and, of course, good co-operation with the team are of particular relevance with regard to all-round successful photos. During the shoot itself, the feel-good factor is also important in order to be able to strike natural and authentic poses. Communication with the photographer is also fundamental. The photographer's feedback and instructions should be openly received and implemented in order to achieve the best possible result. Last but not least, a positive attitude helps to ensure that the photo shoot is successful and fun for everyone involved.
