A helpful guide to help you pack the right things for your shoot.
Here are some suggestions for items you may wish to pack when attending your photoshoot:
Breastforms or plate
Don’t forget to bring adhesive glue and tape if you use them!
Wig
Don’t forget to bring a wig brush or comb for your wig!
If you can, get the wig out and shape it in advance.
Underwear &/or shape wear
Don’t forget any gaffs or tape needed for tucking.
Dresses, skirts and tops
Don’t forget to clean and iron items if necessary; if you are coming to Richard’s studio we can iron items for you (but it may slow things down).
Heels, boots and other shoes
Consider bringing a comfortable pair of flats to give your feet a break in the gaps between shooting.
Accessories
For example, jewellery, scarves, hats, gloves, (sun) glasses and handbags.
Hosiery
Stockings, hold-ups & tights.
Makeup
If you aren’t having a makeover or you wish the makeup artist to use your own makeup.
False nails
Don’t forget glue or sticky pads and remover.
Makeup Remover
Don’t forget to include nail varnish remover if you are wearing nail varnish.
If you are coming to Richard’s studio we can provide makeup wipes.
We suggest three to four outfits for a two-hour photoshoot and four to five for a three-hour photoshoot. You can quickly change an outfit's look with accessories; for example, you can add, remove, or swap handbags, scarves, necklaces, sunglasses, jackets, and footwear.
If you are unsure what to wear for the photoshoot (or certain parts of it), feel free to bring different outfits, and we can suggest what will work best.

Shower
Moisturise
Close facial shave
We suggest two wet shaves, the second with a fresh razor.
Full body shave or wax
If you can do so.
Clean and trim fingernails and toenails
Check for and remove unsightly nose and ear hair
