1. Be on time, if you can't there on time let the modeling photographer is familiar with otherwise you will get a status for being late or not turning up. This could injure your future assignments as no one will book an untrustworthy model! Not unless they get really desperate.
2. Always obtain a chaperone or at the very least let somebody know where you are and what time you should be finished. Best not to take your girl / boy friend, husband / wife, they sometimes acquire in the way and could try to threaten the photographer to do things in a different way, they could also be shocked at what the modeling photographer is asking you to do.
3. Go ready change of clothes that fit don't guess the photographer will have everything for the shoot.
4. Check out the photographer asks other fashion model he or she has used, ask for positions or jobs the photographer has had.
5. Get a phone number and well again still get an address. If the model photographer will not give either then it's up to you to make a decision to continue or not.
6. Make confident you know what is required i.e. what type of shoot you are doing, in no way feel because you are doing time for prints shoot or even a paid shoot that you have to do what the model photographer says. Example if you thinking you were doing a fashion shoot and then the photographer make a decision he now desires to do nude, topless etc...But you did not agree to this you are within your rights and for your own safety to decline.
7. Make up take your own; even though there may be a make-up artist it's best to take your own just in case.
8. Take some cash with you for taxis or buses. This in case the model photographer can't give the transport, carry on receipts as these may be required later to argue back if it was an all cost shoot.
9. Make sure you know if traveling expenses are being paid. This is why you might need the cash. Get it in writing at the time of you being booked.
10. Keep in mind never do anything you could be feeling guilty of later in life, it could influence your career prospects later on in your modeling career. Another thing keep in mind your family is important don't do anything that could cause embarrassment to them. You wish for to be proud of yourself could you show your parents the photos that have been taken.
11. Keep in mind also that modeling is a business and that you can discuss about things like pay, traveling expenses, hotels etc... It's OK to spin down jobs, in no way be rude to potential clients as they won't try to book you again, latter on in your career they could be the one who has you dream job up for grabs, they too have memories of how you last behaved if you where rude or treated them with disrespect you'll most probably miss out on that dream job which could have made you a star.
