The Dream Team…
I don’t do a ton of testing anymore but given the right circumstance and team I’m totally game. Collaborating with creatives without the boundaries a client can put on you is a great way get your creative juices following again. Sometimes you need to recharge and a test can be a great way to do that.
Remember when setting up a test to book people who are experts in their field. Since no one is getting paid everyone needs to have some creative control in their area. This is your chance to try something out you’ve been experimenting with and get feed back from a team of professionals you respect.
Definition of a Test Shoot: When a model and photographer/team work together on a new idea or on their portfolios. No fees other than sharing film-and-developing expenses are involved. Model and Photographer Releases should be signed before the session.
