3 Tips to Keep Cool on a Hot Summer Photoshoot

Dress Appropriately: Choose light and breathable clothing for your photoshoot in hot weather. Opt for natural fabrics like cotton or linen that allow air circulation and wick away moisture. Avoid dark colors that absorb heat and go for lighter shades that reflect sunlight.
Stay Hydrated: It’s essential to keep yourself hydrated during a hot summer photoshoot. Bring along a water bottle and take regular sips to prevent dehydration. Consider freezing a few bottles of water beforehand to have cold refreshments throughout the shoot.
Time it Right: Plan your photoshoot during cooler times of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon when the sun is lower. Avoid midday when the sun is at its peak and temperatures are highest. Shooting in softer light and cooler temperatures will make the experience more comfortable for everyone involved.
