Fashion photography is about more than the final images you see in a portfolio. Every successful shoot involves careful planning, teamwork, and attention to detail. Today, I’ll take you behind the scenes of a typical fashion shoot in my Bucharest studio, showing what goes into creating images that tell a story and highlight style.
Morning: Planning and Setup
The day begins with preparation. Before the shoot, I review the concept, wardrobe, and mood board with the client. In the studio, I set up lights, test backdrops, and prepare lenses to match the planned style.
✅ Why it matters: Planning ensures that the creative vision and technical execution align perfectly from the start.
Midday: Styling and Collaboration
Fashion photography is teamwork. Models, stylists, and makeup artists play a key role in bringing the vision to life. I work closely with them to ensure every detail — from hair to clothing textures — looks perfect under studio lights.
✅ Why it matters: Collaboration ensures consistency across images, making the final set cohesive and polished.
Afternoon: Shooting Session
This is where creativity comes alive. Using a mix of prime and zoom lenses, I capture both detailed portraits and full-body fashion shots. I guide the model with natural poses, making sure the clothing and accessories are presented in their best light.
✅ Why it matters: Directing the model with care makes them feel confident, which translates into authentic, powerful images.
Evening: Review and Editing
After the shoot, I back up all images and begin the first selection process. Editing is done carefully — colors, tones, and details are enhanced without losing authenticity.
✅ Why it matters: Post-production is where the story is polished and the images become campaign-ready.
Conclusion:
Behind every fashion photo is a day of planning, creativity, and collaboration. Whether in the studio or on location in Bucharest, my goal is always the same: to create images that showcase both style and personality.
