Tori Wright is a model who loves to have a clear idea of the
photo shoots she's going to be a part of. It's important for her

can be prepared. She once made a casual joke about doing a photo
shoot with a friend, which turned into a reality as they embraced
the idea. Tori understands that planning and communication are
key in making a successful shoot happen.

THE BIG IDEAS


Preparation Builds Trust: Clearly communicating your ideas
and expectations before a shoot ensures everyone arrives
confident, comfortable, and ready to collaborate.

Focus on the Model’s Needs: Great photographers consider what
will benefit their subject’s portfolio or experience—not just
their own creative ambitions.

Comfort Sparks Creativity: Creating a relaxed, supportive
environment helps your subject feel at ease, resulting in more
natural and engaging photos.

Learn from Both Sides: Understanding the experiences of both
photographer and model leads to more empathetic direction and
ultimately stronger creative outcomes.
