More elaborated beauty & styling concepts will come at an additional cost. If needed, we discuss this while the onboarding process.
Shoot (1): We briefly introduce ourselves and explain the simple system and screen views. The model will introduce herself, will have a chat with you so both get accustomed to each other. Then you both will talk about the first shooting segment (ideas, suggestions, angles, framing, posing, lighting, ...). The assistance, will listen to your conversation in order to form a first "game plan".
The shooting starts, segment 1.Shoot (2): Segment after segment. We make changes, follow your direction, will add our own suggestions, etc. You will be able to shoot from different angles, using different framing, getting styling changes, different lighting moods. But basically, it is an interaction between the model and you. We just assist & operate the system, helping the model to fully concentrate on her performance.
Shoot (3): After the time's up, you will be super happy :-) And we will start our post-shoot process.
