1. Have a Game Plan

Think about what you want to achieve during your session. Are you creating content for social media, shooting products for your business, or capturing portfolio pieces?

Write down your top priorities and create a shot list. A little preparation before you arrive at Pimpama Studio can save you time and help you stay on track.

Tip: Browse our backdrops and plan which ones will fit your style and brand.

2. Pack What You Need

Being prepared makes all the difference. Bring along:

• Props for your shoot.
• Products or costumes for styling.
• A charged camera or phone ready to capture your vision.

If you’re working with multiple looks or themes, organizing your materials in advance will keep your session flowing smoothly.

3. Confirm Times with Your Team

If you’re working with models, photographers, or friends, ensure everyone knows the time and place. Miscommunication can cause delays, and your time in the studio is valuable.

Before your session at Pimpama Studio, confirm:

• Arrival times.
• Wardrobe or props they’ll bring.
• Studio directions, parking details, or any special requests.

4. Know the Space

• A clean and spacious setup.
• Multiple backdrops to suit any theme.

5. Maximise Your Time

To get the most out of your session, start with your most important shots. Once those are done, you can experiment and try creative ideas without pressure.

Pro Tip: Use a Timer

Keep your session efficient by setting a timer for each setup. For example:

• Spend 10 minutes on each product or look.
• Use breaks to review your progress and adjust if needed.

6. Review and Reflect

Before packing up, take a few moments to review your shots. Make sure you’ve captured everything you planned. If something’s missing or not quite right, tweak it and reshoot while you’re still in the studio.
