Also, a 3 light set up doesn’t sound very modern Have the actors and models show you some contemporary talent images

You will be surprised at how fast they can change costumes, their actors after all

HMUA?


You were correct to ask, I've been working with models and studio shoots for in excess of three decades and I have never seen a code "HMUA' before, a simple "you should have an MUA" would have been acceptable code for a Make Up Artist.

I'd set aside 6. You may not use them all, but with costume changes, subtle light changes, etc. There's always going to be a bit of fussing with hair and retouches to makeup, etc. It'll probably be more like 4-1/2 but consider setup and tear down time, as well.

Hello. I’ve been asked to take some head and body shots of actors for their resume in the entertainment industry. They are a couple that plan to have 6 wardrobes each to change into. Background is a simple black and white backdrop. Nothing fancy. I plan to use a 3-lighting indoor set-up provided by the studio I will be using. With prep time and wardrobe changes with simple poses, I’m trying to figure out how much studio time will I need. Right now I’m thinking 3 hours but I plan not to waste time and just get right to it. Is this timeline about right with 2 people?

I think you're in the range of 5 to 6 hours. Things that seem like they will be quick during planning tend not to be in the studio. And don't forget to add 15% to your grand total for the effects of Murphy's Law.
Consider the phrase often used in the corporate world: "Under-promise and over-deliver." Good luck!
