Influencer Photoshoot Day: A Real Behind-the-Scenes Guide

Everyone sees the final photo —
 Perfect skin
 Perfect pose
 Perfect lighting

But what about everything BEFORE that perfection? 
Welcome to my Influencer Photoshoot Day,
the day full of creativity, chaos, and camera magic!

Today, I’m taking you through the complete BTS —
from planning outfits to posing like a pro in public 
So grab a cup of coffee 
and step inside the real world of influencer photoshoots!

 Step 1: Wake Up + Shoot Day Mindset

Shoot days are BIG days.
Not because of vanity…
But because content = career for influencers.

Morning mantra:
 Confidence ON
 Creativity High Camera Ready

I hydrate my skin, blast my favorite hype playlist, and remind myself:
“I am the shot.” 

 Step 2: Outfit Curation — Vibe Check!

Content is storytelling
and outfits help tell the story 

Before every shoot, I:
✔ Choose 2–6 outfits
✔ Style accessories
✔ Keep backup shoes (comfort first )
✔ Pack safety pins, rubber bands, mini perfume

I plan outfits based on:
• Location aesthetic
• Trending colors
• Brand deals priority
• Season + lighting

Because one outfit is never enough 
Influencers = walking fashion change rooms 

 Step 3: Makeup for the Camera

Camera makeup ≠ Daily makeup
The lens eats color 

So I use:
✔ Matte base to avoid shine
✔ Defined contour & brows
✔ Shades that POP on camera
✔ Setting spray = best friend

Makeup isn’t insecurity —
it’s content polish 

Step 4: Shoot Bag Essentials

My Photoshoot Survival Kit:

• Power bank

• Extra pair of earrings

• Clips for hair emergencies

• Lip gloss for retouches

• Water bottle (stay glowing)

• Mini tripod or phone stand

• Wet wipes for sweat & makeup fixes

Everything to avoid mini disasters 

 Step 5: Location = Vibe + Lighting

Location can make or break a photoshoot
I check:

✔ Natural light direction
✔ Aesthetic background
✔ Space to pose comfortably
✔ People crowd (judgy eyes 

Urban street vibe?
Green park softness?
Cute café corners?

Each location = different mood + story
