Preparing for your first shoot
Thu, Sep 17, 2026
A first shoot can feel intimidating. A little preparation goes a long way.
Before the day
Confirm the call time, location and wardrobe list with the producer through GQ messages. Ask about the comfort rating if anything is unclear.
What to bring
A few neutral outfits, clean shoes, basic grooming kit, water and a valid ID for your own safety.
On set
Arrive a little early, listen to the photographer and never feel pressured into anything beyond the rating you agreed to. You can always say no.
