Whazzup Everyone! First of all, all the images used in this post are grabbed from Facebook. So, credit goes to the photographer of these images. I used these set of photos for the purpose of a story line and make this post a twisty interesting post. LOL!
Whether you are doing photography as your bread and butter or just a hobby for fun, to be able to get a better and stunning photographs, you must take some things into consideration.
1. PLAN YOUR SHOOT
Before the shoot happens, sort your ideas and plan it well. If you love the idea of cooking, visualized what gears and props to use. visualized your images and look for a place where your visual images looks alike.

2. GEARS
After planning, you may now select your gears needed for the shoot if you have huge variety of gears in your basement (exaggerating), my point is, bring gears that are usable with your plan. Unnecessary gears will just eat your energy out. Do I need to bring a 500 mm telephoto lens in the kitchen or an 85mm or 50mm? Am not saying do not bring backup gears, all I am saying is bring what is necessary for the shoot.

Oh, by the way, never as in, NEVER forget to bring your battery and memory card always.
3. CHARACTER & ATTITUDE
Most photographers today do not value this. My advice is, please DO value this. If you have a good character, manners, and attitude, bring it on. if you don't, just be a good person and be professional. I think you know already what clients don't like during a photoshoot, right?

4. KNOWLEDGE
The late Ernie Baron once said "Kapag walang knowledge, walang power" (No Knowledge, No Power). It is very unprofessional to look at when you are doing a photoshoot and you don't know what to do. Your model is waiting for another pose and you don't know how to pose your model or you don't know how to set your gears. I've seen a lot of new photographers today, they don't know how to properly setup their gears and they don't care because they can post process their shots later.

Before and during the photoshoot, amplify your mind. Always get yourself mentally ready.
5. HYGIENE
Being an artist does not mean you'll look dirty or smell dirty because you're an artist. We're not in the Renaissance period were artist don't care about their appearances. We are dealing with people as our models or clients. So, better smell your body, your shirt before doing a photoshoot. am not saying you have to be luxurious, be simple but be hygienic.

Give your shot the best shots of all time, give (not just show) your proper attitude towards your clients or models, be best in your work. Take a photo that can make you a winner.
