You have a collection or a set of looks, and you need them photographed with enough consistency that they sit together on a page and enough variation that nobody scrolls past.
Photography is charged at £300 per hour for fashion, portrait / personal branding and brand / commercial work. Two hours cost £600; four hours cost £1,200 before extras. The whole shoot includes 10 retouched photographs, delivered within two weeks. Mariya-supplied clothing, accessories and shoes cost £100 per look; own wardrobe has no styling fee. Studio and applicable travel are separate.
You are photographing garments or a collection rather than a person's professional identity, and you need range. Lookbooks live or die on pacing: full length for the cut, mid for the styling, close for the fabric. Four hours is what it takes to get that rhythm across several looks without rushing the changes.
Steam everything the night before — creases cost more in retouching than they do in ironing. Bring the accessories you are unsure about; deciding in front of a mirror on set is faster than deciding in advance. Sequence the looks from lightest to darkest so the light setup moves in one direction rather than back and forth.

The quiz asks 7 questions and each answer adds weight to one or more of 6 outcomes. This page is the one your answers weighted highest; the alternatives were Personal Branding Session, Brand Content Day, UGC Pieces, Model Portfolio / Editorial Portrait and Hotel & Venue Content. Where two outcomes score closely the honest answer is that either would work, which is why every outcome is readable from the list below rather than hidden behind the quiz.
