How To Start Your Own California Apparel Photography

By Diane Fisher


If you want to create compelling, appealing clothing photos, there are some steps that you must follow. This business is booming especially in big cities. Therefore, to make your business better and more appealing, you have to be unique. In this kind of business, imaging with live models can make your clothes look more attractive. This is because live models give the clothes a level of shape and character that make the photo shoot amazing. Therefore, if you want to start your own California apparel photography company, use the following guidelines.

When opening any business, you must know that meeting the statutory regulations is not a matter of debate. Requirements like licenses and permits must be met before any entrepreneur is allowed to operate. Therefore, besides capital, you must obtain a business permit as well as a license. Also, it is advisable to obtain coverage to protect the business in case accidents happen.

After you obtain the license, insurance, and permit, you can now start operating the business. Since it is a photo shooting company you will be running, you must look for perfect live models to make the clothes you will be shooting look stunning. Also, you must be very selective about the models. Thus, the clothes must fit them well, and the models must look attractive in those clothes.

Next, start setting up the place of shooting. The space or area you select will significantly depend on the type of shooting you want to do. More so, make sure the space is enough so that the models can follow your cues and freely move around. Make sure you have designated some backdrop boundaries as well.

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 everything is in place and you have achieved the right lighting, make sure the model is in position. Make them stand the way you want. Illustrate the standard positions and explain to them how you want your vision to be. Place an X on the surface directly in front of the camera and tell the models to stand there.

You can then start shooting with wide framing and crop the images later. Wide framing shooting will leave enough spaces on all sides. These spaces will allow you to crop and size the photo the way you want. Ensure that you direct your models to do all the standard poses that you want.

Editing is the last step that comes after the shooting. You must make the images appear professionals. It thus needs a lot of time. Sometimes you may feel tired and unable to focus. During such times, you can hire professional editors to do the image editing for you.
