What's in your model bag

The packing list for castings and shoots: the basics, the backups and the lifesavers.

Who it's forAnyone heading to a shoot, casting or show.

What you'll be able to do

  • A core list for every job
  • Extra items by job type: beauty, swimwear, runway, e-commerce
  • Tick items off as you pack
  • Print it or keep it on your phone

Step by step

  1. A week before: confirm details in writing
  2. The day before: pack using the list
  3. On the day: run the arrival checks
  4. Afterwards: follow up for images and credits

How it will work

An interactive checklist saved in your browser.

The packing list

  • Nude and black underwear, plain fitted basics
  • A range of shoes the brief asks for
  • Simple make-up kit and hair ties, even if a team is booked
  • Water, snacks and a phone charger
  • A copy of the agreed details and the photographer's contact

Why it matters

Preparation is the easiest way to look professional, and agreeing details in advance prevents most disputes.

Honest limits

  • Checklists are general; follow the specific brief for each job
  • Not legal advice

Before it goes live

  • Lists checked against job types
  • No product endorsements unless clearly disclosed
