How to Prepare for a Spring Shoot

1. Choose the Right Location
Spring offers endless possibilities for outdoor shoots—think botanical gardens, urban parks, or even downtown cityscapes with fresh blooms in the background. Consider locations that match your style and vibe while providing good natural light.
2. Plan Your Outfits in Advance
For big & tall men, the right fit is everything. Spring is all about layering light pieces, so opt for breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, and lightweight denim. Solid pastels, earth tones, or floral prints can complement the season without looking over the top. Make sure to:
- Try on your outfits beforehand to ensure a great fit.
- Coordinate colors with the shoot location.
- Avoid distracting logos or graphics unless they’re intentional for branding.
3. Grooming & Skincare
Spring photography is all about that natural glow, so make sure you’re camera-ready:
- Get a fresh haircut or shape-up a few days before.
- Moisturize your skin to avoid dryness.
- Trim and shape your beard or facial hair.
- If you have oily skin, bring blotting paper to reduce shine during the shoot.
4. Know Your Best Angles
Confidence is key, and knowing your best angles makes a big difference. Practice a few poses in the mirror or check previous photos to see which angles flatter you most. Your photographer will guide you, but being comfortable in front of the camera makes everything smoother.
5. Bring the Right Accessories
Accessories can elevate your look and add personality to your photos. Consider items like:
- Sunglasses for a cool, relaxed vibe.
- Watches, rings, or chains for added detail.
- A light jacket or blazer that can be layered or removed for variety.
- A stylish hat if that fits your aesthetic.
6. Hydrate & Rest the Night Before
Looking your best starts with feeling your best. Drink plenty of water the day before, get a good night’s sleep, and eat a balanced meal to keep your energy up.
