1. Director role
This is your photo shoot, so you need to think of yourself as the director. Some people don't need as much guidance as others, so keep this in mind. These photos will be in your name so make sure you call the shots.
2. Be prepared
Don't walk into a shoot not having some kind of vision for how you want your photos to come out. Study other fashion photographers' photos for ideas and inspiration. You may even come up with your own ideas by looking at what other photographers have done in the past.
3. What rules?
Its good to get to know the basic rules of how to take a great photo. Once you get the hang of these, such as lighting, you can start adding your own spin to photos by bending some of the rules. Take shots using more harsh light instead of soft light, for example.
4. Concepts
Remember, these are your photos and your vision, so don't let someone else take over or this will be seen in the photos by the end of the day. There is nothing wrong with getting ideas from someone else, but you also want to bring out your vision through your photos.
5. Angles
You want to take a bunch of photos in as many angles as you can. The more the better. The more photos you shoot, the more likely you will find ones that stand out from the others.
6. Keep shooting
Take photographs whenever you get a chance to. You may find a new angle, lighting, concept, or composition you hadn't noticed in previous photos. Constantly shooting will also keep you inspired to keep shooting more.
