Sydney Agency Model Test Shoot Rates

Location notes

• Sydney studio sessions are shot in hired studios, with hire billed at cost on top of the listed package rate.
• Beach sessions for Sydney rates are photographed in Coogee.
• Studio sessions can happen at any time of day. For beach sessions, I generally shoot around sunset to get a mix of hard light, soft light, and dusk for flash effects.
• Beach sessions remain weather-dependent and can be rescheduled if conditions are unsafe.

Hair, makeup and styling notes

• My approach is natural and undone, so hair, makeup, and styling teams are usually not required on these test shoots.
• A key part of this process is showing that you can arrive looking strong out of the box in your own model off-duty style.
• That can feel exposing at first, but it is part of building confidence and readiness before campaign-level production environments.
• Clothing-wise, bring basics: singlet, T-shirt, button-up shirt, jacket, denim, a knit, something strapless for beauty looks, and one outfit that feels like you in model off-duty mode.
• For beach sessions, bring the same foundation pieces plus swimwear.
• Hair and makeup: arrive as you would for castings. Keep it natural with moisturiser, lip gloss, brushed brows, light mascara, and groomed nails. Hair done but undone; together we will create a mix of hairstyles on set.
• If you choose to bring a hair and makeup artist on set, I can accommodate that with an additional $100 fee for increased set time.

Deliverables and process

• Proofs are shown within 48 hours for you to personally choose your finals, or I can choose for you.
• Final selected images are professionally retouched and delivered in 3 to 5 business days.
• Booking is confirmed by deposit, with remaining balance due before final delivery.
• One reschedule is available with at least 48 hours notice, subject to availability.
