The main shoot was scheduled for the 6th March at 2.30pm in Arcade, Independence Square. Prior to my final shoot I had to get a lot of things done to ensure that the day went smoothly without any hassles like the mock shoot. I was very careful not to make the same mistakes as I had done in the mock shoot.
I had prepared a reference document for the makeup looks and sent it to the makeup artist long before so she has an idea of the look that has to be done.
I informed the models to come to the makeup studio at 11.30am sharp so we can wrap it up and go to the Arcade before the sun sets and we lose the natural evening light.
I had already prepared another reference pose document with just 4 photos per model to ensure that we did not go overtime resulting in having to pay extra. This time I wanted the models to have more flexibility in terms of poses so that they're not at discomfort.
I made a spreadsheet with all the list of props and equipment I will have to take and reminded the models once again about their costumes and accessories.
I asked my friend (Prashali Tharmendra) to come to Arcade with me to help out directing the models, so then we could be time efficient. She was also experienced in photography so if I needed any help with taking pictures, she would be able to assist as well.
[Photo taken with Prashali at the main shoot.]I even rented out the camera and borrowed the iPhone 13 which I will use for BTS, the day before itself and set up my laptop with all the documents offline. I also made sure that all the devices were at 100% battery.
