Accessories:

- Jewelry (Assortment of necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets / bangles, etc)

- Hats

Nails:

A quick tip about nails. Remember that in photographs, the viewers eyes will move to vivid colors first, especially red. So, take this into account as to whether you want people viewing your hands or your face.

- Nail polish with neutral color

- Remover kit for nail polish

A nice manicure will really enhance your model photos, especially images where your hand is near your face in close-ups so pay particular attention to your nails. This should pretty much cover you for most photo shoots.

Fashion Photographers Nashville, TN - Help others, learn and networking. Group is for Model's - Fashion Designers - Lighting Technicians - Photographers - Video Photographers.

We are planning to gather eight times per year in the Middle TN area for free and low-cost group photo events and workshops. Events are perfect for people who are looking for an effective way to work with models and photographers.

Meet fellow Photographers, Models, Makeup, Hair Artist, Designers and Stylist. Come to a Photography Meetup to talk about the latest gear, swap tips and techniques, share your images and stories -- and have fun doing it!

But the main reason is to take a few amazing photos. Events are perfect for people who are looking for an effective way to work with models and photographers. All events feature one or more live models. 

Once we know the final count for photographers and models attending, we will pair up models with photographers for separate photo shoots at the location.

Models and photographers will be responsible for getting together or talking prior to the event to plan for what types of photos they want to take. This will then dictate the models' attire, and attire will likely differ from model to model based on discussions with their photographer and the agreed upon photos they would like to take.
