I like how you can see good examples of good communication and positive reinforcement just from the conversation. Almost every time a thought is expressed the other will say something like, "I really like that." or something along those lines. You can tell doing a shoot with them would be so.much better than the silent crew that just stares and snaps pictures.

[@EmilyTeague]

I really appreciate that, Thomas! Absolutely. Having a team that celebrates and uplifts each other is so important

[@thomasdawson5934]

@@EmilyTeague Very true. Also, there's that active communication again! Lol

Thank you Emily, Jessie and Adorama & Team for the videos & the tons of info provided. Looking forward to getting a team together and shooting again once it is safe to do so in the UK. A note for Adorama I think you need to provide links in the description to more of the people involved in these videos and not just your own links and the host. Everyone deserves a mention and credit/link.. it's only fair.

[@EmilyTeague]

Thank you so much Richard! And good point, here are the links :) Filming & Editing: instagram.com/methodkc/ Model: instagram.com/brandinicolephoto/ Stylist: instagram.com/jessieajlunistyling/ Hair & Makeup: instagram.com/aliciadangelo/

Thanks Richard! The filming with 2 cameras and running audio has been a one-man-band situation by myself, but you can see more from my production company at methodmedia.nyc. We try to turn these videos around fairly quickly for Adorama. One day when it’s safe, I’ll enlist more crew help! 😉

Thank you! We have now updated it with the links provided by Emily.

I can't for a minute, ever imagine I'll shoot an editorial but I found it a fantastic insight and really enjoyed the video from beginning to end. Great work Emily, Jessie and everyone else involved in putting this together. This is why I love Adorama videos. There is always something new to learn.

This vid explains a lot to me about the importance of a mood board and the relationships between the photographer and the creative team. Having never actually done anything in the way of commercial shoots I have to thank Emily for this explanation. There are all kinds of vids on the technical/creative on the part of the photographer pressing the button to get the image, but getting to that point is a whole other story! Thanks Emily

Hi Roger. This really makes me so happy to read. I was really hoping this would be helpful! :)

Oh wow, what a great informational video! Thanks for all the details discussed in it, the comparison to Dating was spot on. Many times we can be great peers to one another in the industry but with different point of views. Also, glad that Jessie Aljuni pointed out that the mood images for a Photographer are different than the one for The Stylist and the way they are visual guides. Thanks ADORAMA for having informative videos like these in your channel!

So glad you liked it, Alexander!! :)

9:30 The stylist was talking about pulling and returning, I'm assuming whatever clothes that she needs to get for the shoot. But... where? Where do they get the clothes? Do they actually just go buy them from a store and return them after? Or is there a place a designer goes to rent them? (I imagine a big city might have something just for this purpose?) Sorry if that question seems simple but thats something that I was always curious about. I'm a photographer and I usually work with models that just have their own clothes to shoot with, and I have a friend that started her own small design studio she is starting and I have helped her do shoots of her designs. But yeah I often wonder where people get all these outfits for these fashion editorials!

[@cmorgan642]

I posted this on another person's comment earlier but wanted to reply to you directly. Please see below. This is typically how stylists get clothing. How it works is that for an editorial is a stylist will request looks from different clothing showrooms and pr agencies by sending along an email with details of what publication your team is shooting for as well as sending a letter of responsibility or LOR that is usually provided by the magazine to prove that a shoot is actually being done. Then the brand will decide if they want to appear in that publication and if they do they will lend you clothing for the shoot. This is why it takes multiple days for a stylist to prep for a shoot because they have to reach out to so many brands and then also have to arrange for transport of the clothing to arrive shoot and then once the shoot is over they have to send everything back to whoever they borrowed from. Now an advertising job is different. Usually, there is a budget from the client to purchase clothing. The stylist will be given a brief on what is needed for the wardrobe and they will go to various stores and purchase pieces that might work for the shoot. This cost is usually put upfront by the stylist unless the client can provide an advance. whatever is used for the shoot the client will keep and then the stylist will return whatever was not used. Then finally the stylist will bill the client for the wardrobe that was used in the shoot. Hope this helped. Let me know if you have additional questions.

[@moovieman693]

Hello! Thank you so much for this on time tutorial. I’m definitely going to be implementing almost everything in this video. I have some questions: where did the money come from for the wardrobe? And what happens to all the clothes after the photo shoot? How long is a typical fashion editorial shoot? For maybe 3 to 4 looks?

[@cmorgan642]

Hi there. The wardrobe came from various showrooms and pr agencies and once the shoot was over, all the clothing gets returned to them. That is typically how it works for editorials, brands will lend to get placement in different outlets. For an advertising job usually, the budget comes from the client but the stylist will spend the money upfront for the wardrobe and then return whatever isn't used to the stores once the shoot is over and then bill the final cost to the client. For a typical fashion story, there are 6 to 8 looks for the shoot but we did a smaller condensed version for the video. Hope this answered your questions.

[@zoecaugiay4207]

[@TorrancePollard]

I really enjoyed the video, one question I had regarding the stylist is where do you get the clothes from? Do you partner with some local clothing shops in the area and they let you borrow them for advertising? I'm lost on that part and didn't catch it in the video. Thanks

Thank you for this video Emily! Question... when you're doing an in studio shoot such as the one here with Brandi (6 looks or so) do you change the back ground with each look? Also, what is the actual name of that reddish burgundy paper background?

Hi Richard! You absolutely can. Sometimes I do, other times I'll keep it consistent :)

this is vey helpful to help me organise my test shoots more professionally...how do you go with looking for a stylist tho? i mean i see that often they are tagged on other photographers IG but usually they are already too established to work on test shoots... with make up artists is slightly easier although not so easy. is there a platform for stylists? thank you so much

A helpful way is looking at the models in nearby cities through models.com. It's an excellent resource for fashion photographers!
