This will allow you to wear such items under your garments without drawing attention to them in the photos.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also a good idea to bring something to drink, such as bottled water or gatorade. Especially if you are shooting outside. You may want to consider bringing a cooler with ice to pack drinks and anything else you wish to keep cool while shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the length of your shoot, you may want to pack a light meal and\/or a few snacks of some kind. Fruits are preferable to &#8220;candy&#8221; items and will help provide energy to keep shooting. Avoid eating\/bringing anything that may stain your teeth. This includes chocolaty items. As with wardrobe, please bring more than you think you will need.<\/p>\n<h2>Contents of a Typical Model&#8217;s Bag<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some items typically found in the bags of models who work regularly and\/or professionally. Not all items are necessary if you&#8217;re just starting out, but it&#8217;s still a good idea to check this list and consider whether these items may be useful at your shoot. Many items depend on the type of shoot you&#8217;re doing and the location:<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>makeup kit<\/td>\n<td><img
