Setting expectations before the shoot

A good shoot starts with clear expectations on both sides. The expectations guide helps you communicate everything your client needs to know: workflow, delivery time, what is and isn't included. The price calculator helps you build a quote based on time, costs and margin.

Planning the shoot

The session prep tool lets you brief your model or client on what to bring, how the day will run and what to expect in terms of styling. The call sheet maker puts all practical details on one page: start times, location, contacts and who needs to be where and when. The shot list maker lets you work out every shot by look or scene in advance, so you stay structured and don't miss anything on location.

On location

The pose card gives you sixteen tried-and-tested poses to use as a starting point in any portrait or model shoot. The shoot checklist covers everything you need to bring, from memory cards and batteries to props and release forms.

After the shoot: legal paperwork

If you publish your work online, in a portfolio or for a client, you need written consent from your model. The model release generator produces a legally correct release form, free to download as a PDF. Fill in the details and it is ready to sign, on paper or digitally.

From planning to publication

A well-prepared shoot produces better photos — not because preparation replaces creativity, but because you can focus on the image when the logistics are already handled. The tools on this page cover the entire process, from the first appointment to the signed model release.
