Professional Photo Shoot Advice
So in lieu of the new year I always set a goal, something to get excited about and keep me focused. This year I decided on booking a professional pole photo shoot. So excited! The photographer is not a “pole” photographer but he is very very good I’ve worked with him thru the company I work for a lot this past year. We will be shooting in my living room (another reason I cleared out all the furniture) so it will be all natural light. I scheduled it for the end of March so that I will have a solid 3 months to prepare my positions and lean out. Any tips or advice for making the shoot a success would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Erin, how fun! I did a pro shoot with a professional pole photographer and have done a few with my sister who is an amateur. The thing I wish I would have done with the pro was to write a list of poses/tricks I wanted beforehand, it’s harder than you think to do so on the spot. Also, with someone not familiar with pole poses, your photographer may need guidance with angles. That’s my sister’s biggest challenge when she photographs my aerial work. However, sometimes unconventional angles make for cool shots. I would still give your photographer an idea of what you want to capture in certain pics, it may even be helpful to print some pictures of the poses you plan to use so he has a reference. Finally, if you can recruit an “assistant”, that’s extremely helpful. They can standby for when he has a perfect shot but your hairs in your face or your shorts are riding up lol We all know how hard those malfunctions can be to fix when your wrapped around the pole like a pretzel! Have fun!
