5 reasons on why you should hire
Professional Photographer
for fashion outfit photoshoot

1) It will save you time and hassle.

Why would you have to go through all the troubles to do everything all by yourself just to save a couple of bucks. It's time-consuming and it takes lots of energy if you don't know how to use the right camera & lenses, the right lighting set-up, etc...to take the photo the right way.

A professional photographer will have all your variety shots done properly in one outfit in 30 minutes and transform your photo into magazine-worthy shot.

2) You’ll have more time to focus on your portfolio

Not only that you will save the money and hassle from taking the photo yourself but you also don't have to worry about wasting your time, tackling the photo colour correction in Photoshop. You can have a peace of mind, knowing that your photographer will take care of all the problems for you, fixing up the exposure, white balance, colour correction, etc. All your finished photos will be made "ready to use" upon delivery so you can have more time to focus entirely on assembling your portfolio together in time for portfolio submission before your deadline.

For instance: One student with three outfits shoot - a quick turnaround editing time of all the photos from the shoot will be ready in 3 days after the day of the shoot.

3) You need to have the photo shot "get it right" for your portfolio!

Hiring a photographer for your fashion outfit photoshoot may be expensive but you are investing your future career. It is like attending for a job interview and it is important to dress yourself for success if you are serious about landing a dream job. The same thing applied to fashion portfolio. Your photographer will take care of composition and balance of the props set-up, lighting and background to compliment your outfit so your fashion outfit photo will look the best straight out from fashion magazine.

When you are investing in serious professional photoshoot, you will have better success rate of receiving more admission acceptance from fashion schools you applied for when you get your fashion outfit photo shot done it right.

4) Sharp, clean detail photo is important!

Showing a detail shot of your sewing and stitching skills are important part of fashion portfolio evaluation. Since the portfolio evaluator can't examine your outfit design works physically on their hands, therefore, your photo must be super sharp, clear and clean without exception! The fashion portfolio evaluator is expected that and need to see it. It's no joke. You must take it seriously!!

If the photo is poorly done or lacks quality to show crisp details shot, it is highly likely that you will NOT be admitted into fashion school. They questioned about your poor quality photo presentation because they can't see your sewing & stitching work in details up-close clearly. So don't risk it, under-deliver your photo shot and leave that to chance!!

5) This is your moment! Don’t sell yourself short!

You've worked hard. You've spent many months and hours in class to learn how to sew and make your own clothes. You've poured all your heart and soul into it.

You should feel proud of what you have made with your own hands. So wear it with pride and have your outfit design taken professionally and show off your accomplishment!!

More importantly, you will have that fashion editorial outfit photo shot to keep this as memories of what you did when you look back 4 years later down the road. Wear it now and have it photographed professionally because you may not be able to wear it again possibly once you have out-grown the size of your outfit that you have designed when you were in grade 12.

And last, you need to sell it which reinforces the reason to number 3 and 4 above. Having a clean, well-composed, well-lit, tack sharp photo of your outfit taken by a professional photographer will help to speak volume about your work and your sewing skills. You need to show that to your portfolio evaluator why you are the best applicant and the right fit to be admitted to their fashion school. So don’t sell yourself short!!!
