The best models aren’t just easy to shoot. They’re easy to work with.
10 years in this industry taught me that a great shoot is isn’t just about the shot but how everyone feels when it’s over! A great shoot is built by everyone in the room, and how you treat them shows up in the final images whether you realize it or not.

Here are 10 things I do to make my team feel valued, every time.

Tip 1
I learn names before the shoot starts.
Not just the photographer’s. The assistant’s, the PA’s, the second makeup artist’s. Everyone hears their own name at least once.

Tip 2
I say thank you out loud, in the moment, not just at the end.
“That blend is perfect” lands differently mid-shoot than a generic thank you when everyone’s already packing up.

Tip 3
I ask people about their work, not just my own.
“How long have you been doing hair?” tells someone I see them as a person with a craft, not a station I move through.

Tip 4
I stay patient during setup and technical delays.
Lighting issues and outfit changes aren’t anyone’s fault. My energy during downtime tells the team what kind of person they’re working with.

Tip 5
I give credit publicly when a look comes together.
If the stylist nailed it, I say so in front of the room, not just to them privately.

Tip 6
I check in on people who look stretched thin.
A quick “you good?” to an assistant running on no breaks costs me nothing and means something to them.

Tip 7
I ask before I touch anything on set.
Props, tools, garments. Asking first shows respect for people’s setups and their process.

Tip 8
I match energy without demanding attention.
If the room is calm and focused, I don’t bring chaos. If the room needs lifting, I bring warmth, not noise.

Tip 9 & 10
I remember people between shoots, and I show it when I see them again.
A message after a hard day. A “great working with you” tag when the images go live. Appreciation that only shows up on set isn’t appreciation. It’s performance.
That’s how a team becomes a team you keep working with.

Talent gets you booked. Collaboration gets you rebooked.
10 things I do on every shoot as a Top Model to make sure designers, makeup artists, and creative directors get their best work out of me, and I get the best out of them. After all a photo shoot’ success, is not just for me, but for the whole creative team.

Save this if you work in front of a camera or lead a shoot.

Rule 1
I show up already understanding the concept.
I study the mood board before I arrive. That way the shoot builds momentum instead of starting with explanations.

Rule 2
I let the creative director lead, full stop.
Even when I have ideas, I don’t argue for my vision over theirs. It’s their name on the campaign, not mine.

Rule 3
I never tell the makeup artist how to do their job.
Not the blend, not the shade, not the technique. I trust the artist I was booked to work with.

Rule 4
I give feedback only when asked, and I keep it short.
“Can we try it a shade warmer?” lands better than a lecture on color theory.

Rule 5
I adjust my body to the lens, not the other way around.
If the photographer wants a different angle, I move. I don’t make them repeat themselves.

Rule 6
I read the room’s energy before I speak.
A tense set doesn’t need my opinion. It needs me to hit my mark and stay easy to work with.

Rule 7
I ask questions instead of making assumptions.
“What feeling are we going for in this frame?” gets me further than guessing and getting it wrong on camera.

Rule 8
I stay flexible when the concept shifts mid-shoot.
Creative direction changes fast. My job is to adapt without making it a whole conversation.

Rule 9 + 10
I protect everyone’s time and I say thank you before I leave.
No arguing. No showing anyone how to do their job. No walking out without acknowledging the team that made the shot happen.
That’s how you get invited back.
