Back when I was a trainer, photographer, and content creator in a studio with 20–25 models, one of our platforms ran a monthly “theme” contest—and I had to come up with 25 unique photo ideas based on that one theme. No AI, no shortcuts—just deep internet digging, pure creativity, and deadlines. And trust me, it was a wild ride. Working closely with this many models, I saw all the classic prep mistakes—missed briefs, bad styling, zero confidence—that mean even the most beautiful face doesn’t get the shot.
