How To Start Your Own California Apparel Photography

By Diane Fisher


Shooting quality clothes images is not an easy task. It requires experience. The pictures of models you see on billboards along the streets took a lot of time, money and effort. Therefore, if you wish to start a California Apparel photography firm, you must be ready regarding time and capital. Additionally, you must attend some professional training if you have no shooting experience. Many people are venturing into this business because the textile industry is growing day by day. Many people are starting their own clothing lines and are in need of professional photographers to do the marketing.

To start with, you must secure a business permit from your local government. There are some requirements that you must meet for you to be given the permit. These requirements tend to be different in each state. Hence, make sure you know what your state requires and obtain a permit to open the business. More so, make sure that you have insured the business.

After you have met all the necessary statutory requirements, it is time to set up your business. You cannot shoot without a model. Therefore, you need to look for a model. To make your shots more appealing, it is advisable to use live models. Decide whether you want to pick a male or female, or both. Also, when selecting the model, you must check how the clothes look on him or her and whether the models will work for you for the long term.

After picking your model, start preparing the space you will be shooting at. The area you choose will be dependent on the current situation. Additionally, the shooting area should be spacious enough to allow the models to move around freely when you give them your cues. Nevertheless, you must have backdrop boundaries if the space is too large.

After that, start thinking about lighting. For every shooting, lighting is essential. Too much light will make the images to fade while too dark light will make the photos to look dull. For this reason, you must find a way to have lighting that is just like the window light. Usually, most photographers use soft boxes, speed lights, and umbrellas. Nonetheless, speed lights have been found to be too bright and sharp.

Once you have attained the perfect lighting and the backdrop set up is complete, start positioning your model. Start explaining your vision to the model and prepare him/her in the shooting area to achieve your vision. Make sure your model stands exactly where you want them to stand by placing an X on the surface directly facing your camera.

Wide framing is the most preferable when shooting. This is because you will be left with enough space on all the sides of the image. This space will come in handy when you are editing the photos. Therefore, make sure you have used the wide framing techniques when shooting.

After the shooting, start your post-production project. This takes quite some time thus ensure that you allocate some time to this project. You can either edit the images on your own or outsource labor to make work easier for you. Make sure you hire a professional to do the editing if you are outsourcing.
