9 Things to look out for before booking your next photo session in Cotonou.

1. Outline your Purpose: what is the purpose of this session? Outline specifically, is a birthday session, portfolio update, head shot , anniversary, etc. The truth is in different types of photography settings, you will be portrayed differently so it is best to outline photo purpose first and determine the part of you that will be portrayed in the session you intend booking.
2. Who can best portray this part of you: The next thing to do is to find a photographer who can portray that part of you according to the purpose of which the photos are required for.  A good exercise is to outline different photographers around your vicinity, carefully go through their website or portfolio and check if they can offer you what you want if you eventually book any.  This is an important step because it helps you know what to expect.
3. Reference means:  when you eventually find that photographer that you resonate with his/her work, have them send you a MOOD BOARD or an IDEA BOARD. After telling them the initials of what you would like, it is in the best capacity of a professional photographer to send you a mood board display which should help both photographer and client have a close idea as well as be on the same page as to what the clients initial information explains.  A mood board or idea board portrays different displays on the kind of hair, makeup, setup, styling, poses and creative direction that should be included in the shoot.
4. Contact your team: it is important to have a team of stylists and creative directors to have an effective and stress free shoot.  The booking of these vendors can be done by the photographer which in most cases have them as part of his/her team.  Except you have your go-to vendors to work with, you can listen to the recommendation of your professional photographer as to the vendors to work with for maximum result.
5. Schedule your Appointment:  Schedule your shoot date with your photographer and prepare towards it, make the necessary preparations, and dont try to do a hush rush appointment.
6. Payment: carefully discuss payment for services and means of payment with your photographer to be sure you have the purse for the session before completing your appointment schedule.
7. Pay a Visit: if you can, try to pay a visit to the studio or location where you will be having your photo session, so as to familiarize with it, if you are a shy person, it will be best to know if you can adapt in an open location or not.
8. Be Optimistic: Stay positive, and optimistic about the shoot and the outcome.  This helps everyone working with you to produce good results, and it is a great way of enhancing your charisma while shooting.
9. Delivery: Agree with your photographer on the day and time of photo delivery and also the means in which it will be delivered.
