By Brian Bailey


As an individual who has a career that revolves around taking photographs of interesting people, various items, and different sceneries, you must be flexible enough and be prepared to take all sorts of projects during your career. At this modern age, it is likely that you will encounter some clients who run their own company that focuses on providing a specific product. Due to this, they will likely enlist you to help in taking high quality photos that will promote their goods.

Nonetheless, not all professionals have been subjected to this type of photography so understandably, they might not have an idea of how to go about it successfully to satisfy the needs of their clients. Following this logic, there also exists a set of methods and basic techniques that can be applied to acquire the needed results. For more information on this topic, the succeeding paragraphs will be focusing on designer hats and fascinators photography tips for neophytes.

When it comes to fashion photography, a considerable portion of it has to do mainly with taking photos in a way that it highlights the many interesting details of each piece. For hats, it likely means getting up close and taking portraits, which allows the natural line of sight to fall onto it. By placing enough emphasis onto this focal point, it helps the viewer to distinguish its many features and implies a convincing tone to make the purchase. As such, make sure that you choose a model that is able to showcase the product properly, without overshadowing its presence.

For every model that is hired for this shoot, each one should be directed properly into the type of poses they should get into that highlights the product most of all. Since you have no prior experience on this, ensure that you come prepared by going through various fashion magazines and online blogs that showcase similar items. Take note of different elements that the person behind the camera has incorporated. By taking these elements together, it helps create your own unique concept or style to implement.

Apart from that, the fascinators and the caps should be prepared beforehand too. Make sure everything is delivered at least one to three days before the appointed shoot will take place. This will allow you enough time to check on all the items on the inventory list to ensure that there are no damages, like rips or missing features onto it. In case you do notice a smudge, do not hesitate to inform the client right away to have it replaced, since this could potentially sabotage the photos upon usage.

Following this logic, one has to make preparations with regard to the studio too. As a neophyte, the most ideal environment for this project to take place is a studio because everything is in a controlled and safe area, which leaves little room for error on your end. Not only that, it removes the task of having to bring all the heavy equipment you need for the project. Before the appointed date arrives through, do some cleaning and allocate appropriate spots for the crew members, models, equipment, products, changing areas, and so on.

After doing so, prepare the studio for the upcoming shoot and assign an area where the backdrop should be. Prepare the other necessary equipment that one might require and do some test shots. These include the lighting and reflectors, any props, and if possible, use natural light coming from a large window instead.

One thing that you should not neglect to prepare is your camera. Although it might not be the latest model out there, it should function well enough and contains all the features and settings you might require. Do not forget to charge its batteries the night before and prepare some spare ones too. Moreover, bring the charger with you and extra pairs of memory cards in case you run out of storage.

After finishing up with the shoot, take a look at all the photos you took on that day. Take the time to choose which one represents the brand the best and edit it to improve upon the original image. There are numerous programs available for this purpose. After which, submit the images to your client for further instructions and for their feedback too.
