WEBCAM SESSION PREP
READY TO EMBARK ON THIS EXCITING ADVENTURE??
Web cam sessions are all about freedom, collaboration, exploration, and play! Together you and I will create images that are spontaneous, beautiful, fun, and a documentation of this strange time in our lives. In addition to that, this experience will bring you empowerment, confidence, and put a little pep in your step and a smile on your face! The perfect short term solution for the self isolation sads. Here are a few things you can do to prepare for your quickie!
WARDROBE
Take into account the location in which we will be doing your webcam session. If it is your bedroom, then anything from a comfy sweater and panties to complete nude will be a go! If you want to hang out poolside, then maybe a bright colored bathing suit - or nude! (you can see a pattern here) Ultimately, wardrobe is the least important in terms of the shoot itself, so make sure it’s something you are comfortable in and makes you feel sassy af.
HAIR & MAKEUP
Don’t stress too much. Just light hair and makeup is sufficient because of the quality of the images. I suggest avoiding strong highlight based on the way webcams tend to pick up the light - but other than that, again, whatever makes you feel your absolute best!
LOCATION
“My house isn’t nice enough” has become the new “I’m too fat to do boudoir photos” - BOTH ARE FALSE. I literally can make anything work and as long as we have a few surfaces (walls, bed, couch, floor, or chair) we are good to go! I was once quoted as saying “Crap adds character” and I did in fact, mean the crap that is all around your house. It’s you, it’s your life, it’s your documentation. At the very least, give me a window or a lamp and magic will happen!
EXPECTATIONS
It’s important to have little to no expectations about the outcome of the images. Depending on the quality of the wifi strength, the camera in the phone/laptop/ and the lighting conditions the images will be what they are. These images are not my traditional smooth, high quality, ready for print images - but rather, souvenirs for an amazing half hour with yourself!
EQUIPMENT TO HAVE
After testing this webcam situation on a number of people I have found the best combo to be a well lit room + a new phone turned sideways! That being said you can use a laptop or iPAD/tablet as well! I will need you to download the zoom app (you can find that here: https://bit.ly/2R1Kzsv ) Approximately 10 minutes before your session, I will send you an email with a link to join me on ZOOM for our session and then after that, the rest is up to me!!
