landscape.If you are looking for a way to shoot with a model,

we have pulled together few tricks to make your way easy and to help you get great results, whether you

are capturing clothing’s or makeup or some beautiful creatures.

Choose the right talent

Make sure you have a clear idea in your head of your outcome that you want

to achieve.

You have clearly thought about the

concept, themes and the story behind your

shoot. Choosing talent is not always

about picking professional models. If you think someone will potentially look

great in your photographs, you should go for it.

Clearly explain the idea behind your shoot

• Almost all fashion shoots hold a theme

or an idea behind them. Just as the

actor, a model needs to act according to the theme and modeling photographer should act as a director to guide the model for the best outcome.

Either it is a dark or

dramatic shoot or a relaxed

and lighthearted

shoot, a model has to prepare

her mood according to the shoot.

Give constant feedbacksEven working with the professional models, you should provide constant directions

and feedback as you are working. Giving directions doesn’t

mean going on stage and demonstrating the

model what to do. Just show your model

what you mean.

Take naps In the excitement and enthusiasm of the shoot,

you should take few breaks to relax your makeup artists, models and team members and

even yourself. Be sure to take regular breaks throughout the day.

And try to keep your

day as small as you can,

so your models don’t

feel unenthused.

Keep your own energy up

• It is a so obvious that if the photographer

remains so energetic all the day. Some

models may feel shy; this can help them

releasing their fears and making positive outcomes. This will

keep them fresh and their expressions

natural.

Use light correctly

In the modeling photography

when the theme is to focus on the

models face, then you should not rely upon the

natural light solely.

You should use your own studio lighting to get

better results. But if the natural light

is your focus, make sure your

model face is not squinting in the

sun.

Be aware of the elements• Shooting on the

beachside scene in summer on

scorching 38 degree Celsius is a fire put everyone on edge? Looking for whole

health of your team all the time and

bring appropriate safeguard elements.

Don’t forget candid shots

• Don’t stop shooting when your model

isn’t posing. In between her

laughter, try to capture the best

natural shot. As a modeling

photographer, you should always be

switched on.
