Let's face it, the fashion industry is not known for its eco-friendliness. But as the world becomes more aware of the impact we're having on the environment, it's important for all of us to do our part to reduce waste and be more sustainable. That includes photoshoot sets. Here are some tips to help make your next fashion shoot a little more environmentally friendly:
Rent or borrow props and wardrobe items when possible. Instead of buying new items for the shoot, consider renting or borrowing from other photographers or stylists. This not only reduces waste, but also saves you money.
Use natural light when possible. (I’m a huge fan of strobes, so this one is personally hard for me).
Bring reusable water bottles and food containers. Instead of using disposable cups and plates, bring reusable water bottles and food containers. This reduces waste and keeps the set looking cleaner.
Recycle and compost. Make sure there are designated recycling and compost bins on set, and encourage everyone to use them.
Use eco-friendly cleaning products. When cleaning up after the shoot, use eco-friendly cleaning products instead of harsh chemicals that can harm the environment.
By following these simple tips, you can make your fashion photoshoot more sustainable and reduce your impact on the environment. Plus, you'll feel good knowing that you're doing your part to make the world a little greener.
