Guidelines for Photo Subjects

Get a Photo Model Release

Use the university model release forms to obtain written permission to photograph or videotape subjects. All subjects must complete and sign a form for each photo or taping session. Learn more.

Whether you are managing a photo shoot or plan to participate in one, follow these guidelines to make sure your subjects or you look great on camera.

  • If asked to bring two sets of clothing, wear one and bring the other on a hanger with all the accessories (shoes, ties, belts, handbags, etc.)
  • Bring a brush or comb, mirror, makeup, hair gel, razor, etc., for on-the-spot touch ups. Don't forget tissues, cotton balls, or blotter paper to control facial shine.
  • Do not wear all black or all white unless asked to do so.
  • Ensure all clothing is clean and nicely pressed.
  • Always arrive dressed and ready to go.
  • Be creative! Feel free to bring props to complete your character (i.e., backpack, books, cell phone, mp3 player, briefcase, sports equipment).
  • Get plenty of sleep the night before, so you can be fresh and upbeat, so you will look your best.
  • If you can’t make it to the shoot, please call your instructor or the photographer and let them know.
  • Women: Please do your hair and make-up at home before you arrive. Wear clothes that are not low-cut or too tight, or skirts that too short.
  • Men: Please shave and do your hair at home before you arrive. Wear clothing that gives you a well groomed appearance and that is not too tight.
  • Show up at the designated place on time. Be sure to let the photographer know if you need to leave early.
