Hi, I'm Keiko!

Let's take a look behind
the scenes of a shoot day.
1. Moodboard
I kick things off with a moodboard. It's a good start to get a feeling for:
color & tones
overall style
outfits
hair & makeup
props
2. Locations
I keep a Google Map of pinned locations with descriptions. Whenever
I find a place with potential I just add it.
Today we use a studio setup for a retro-themed shoot.
3. Preparing
the Set
On shoot days I try to
get as many different shots as possible:
Different looks
Different outputs (blog, social media)
Behind the scenes
Beauty videos
4. Doing the Hair
If possible I use wigs.
It's easier and faster.
5. Applying
Makeup
6. Setting up
the Camera
On a tripod
Using the Smartphone as remote for self-portraits
The selftimer gives time
to hide the phone
Self-Portraits are a lot
of trial and error but I find
it comfortable that nobody is watching.
I hope you enjoyed
these insights.
