Below are some ideas for a captivating and engaging way to provide a glimpse of the world of fashion. Behind the scenes (BTS) of a fashion shoot are quite exciting and we state a few ways companies can utilize BTS to engage with their audience. 

Conceptualize the Shoot: Decide on a fashion concept that represents your brand’s aesthetic. Choose an aesthetic that you feel will elevate your brand to the next level and attract the targeted consumers. It could be a glamorous evening wear collection, a couture-inspired editorial, or a modern twist on classic elegance. Do research on different aesthetics in the fashion industry and how brands adapt them to their image.

Location Selection: Choose a location that matches the aesthetic of your shoot. This can be an art gallery, rooftop with amazing scenery, a flowery garden, or an alleyway. The location is quite important because it will enhance the mood and sophistication of the shoot. 

Showcase the Creative Team: Capture the creative team in action. Catch moments of hairstylists, makeup artists, and stylists working their magic, bringing the vision to life. You are producing behind the scenes content, so it is important to see the work that goes into creating the final product. Highlight the collaboration and attention to detail that goes into creating the perfect look.

Model Preparation: From start to finish, capture the model’s journey. From when they first arrive to the shoot to the wardrobe fitting, makeup chair and to the first shot location. Reveal the transformation process to the audience and allow them to feel a part of the exciting process. This also allows the audience to see the dedication of the model to embody the desired aesthetic. 

Wardrobe Selection: Make sure to showcase the wardrobe selection process. This adds intrigue and gives the audience a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the vision of the stylists. Capture the images of the garments filled on the racks, accessories, shoes and the stylists discussing their choices. 

Lighting and Set Preparation: Document the setup and preparation of lighting equipment, reflectors, and props. Don’t be afraid to catch the small and simple details of the shoot. Even if they seem small, they can provide an interesting perspective to the shoot and show the thought process behind certain artistic decisions. Capturing these details showcases the meticulous attention to detail that goes into creating the perfect ambiance and ensuring the lighting enhances the fashion and overall mood of the shoot.

Directing the Model: The moments of the photographer and creative director providing guidance and direction to the model should also be captured. Showcasing the interaction between the model and the team, captures the essence of the shoot’s vision.

Candid Moments: Creating behind the scenes content does not have to be strictly professional. Capture candid moments between the team members, such as laughter, discussions, and briefings. These shots humanize the shoot and showcase the energy and camaraderie among the creative team. These moments add life and may highlight the tone of the brand and help the shoot resonate with people.

Final Shots and Celebrations: It is quite important to capture the final shots of the fashion shoot and the moment of celebration because they signify the culmination of hard work and dedication. 

Additionally, It is important to remember to seek the consent of all individuals involved in the BTS shoot and respect their privacy boundaries. Sharing these behind-the-scenes moments on your company’s social media platforms or website allows your audience to experience the creativity, hard work and glamour that goes into creating a successful fashion shoot. It also allows the audience to feel connected with the brand on a deeper level.
