This may be a dumb question, or even a tired thread. I'm new to this modeling thing, and I was wondering... If you answer a casting call, and the photographer would like to set up a test shoot to see how things go, what do you bring to wear? I apologize again, but the shoots that I have done were in a bikini or, well, super tiny shorts and thats it. Should I but some hot outfits together and if so, like what? Jeans, skirts, my whole closet? :-)

You should discuss that with the photographer you're working with.  It all depends on the approach and vision of the photographer and what he/she is trying to accomplish.

I love to collaborate with the model on a "test".  What I hate is when a model shows up with 30 random pieces of clothing stuffed in a duffel bag and everything wrinkled beyond use...  Whatever you bring to the shoot, make sure it looks it's best.

haha, you mean that's not supposed to be like that?  To this day I thought all models showed up with clothing stuffed in their bag.

Take ideas, a good attitude, readiness to explore various sides of you, an imaginative mind and a whole lot of positive energy! That is what I expect models to bring...I know things vary from situation to another.
