How to Make the Most of Your 20-Minute MICRO Session at SELFIELAB

Maximizing your 20-minute MICRO session at SELFIELAB can be easy and enjoyable with a little preparation. Here’s how you can ensure every minute counts during your brief but impactful photoshoot.

1. Arrive Early

To make the most of your allotted time, consider arriving 5-10 minutes early. This isn't just about being punctual—it's about giving yourself a moment to breathe and not feeling rushed. Arriving early allows you to settle in, familiarize yourself with the studio space, and mentally prepare for your session.

2. Come Prepared

Preparation is key for a swift and smooth photoshoot. Come with your outfit already on and your makeup and hair done. If you prefer, you can arrive 10 minutes earlier to change in the studio; however, remember that changing time can eat into your shooting time. It's best to arrive camera-ready.

3. Have a Clear Plan

Having a plan for your shoot is crucial, especially with limited time. Think about the poses you want to capture, the expressions or moods you aim to convey, and any specific shots you need. For helpful tips on planning your shoot, refer to our previous blog post here.

4. Simplify Your Outfit Choices

While it might be tempting to bring multiple wardrobe changes, remember that 20 minutes can go by very quickly. To maximize shooting time, we recommend sticking to one outfit. If you're set on having options, limit yourself to one additional change. This way, you spend more time in front of the camera rather than behind the changing curtain.

5. Focus on Quality Over Quantity

With a shorter session, it’s better to focus on getting a few high-quality shots rather than rushing through many setups or ideas. Think about the key shots you aim to achieve and make each pose count.
