    And where are the male models in this how-to? Something tells me the suggestions in this video won’t exactly go over well in such a shoot.

    Overall I enjoyed the video. It reinforced somethings that I try to do already but I also got some great tips that I had not thought of. The squinting discussion was something that I do not agree with, but I almost feel that it was more of a semantics issue. I did not feel Lisa was really squinting. I think James Madison’s suggestion was good.

    That said, I did find the first part of the video, while informative, a bit off-putting. The first thing I found a bit odd was you talking to her and she never saying a thing, just occasionally nodding her head rather mechanically. I would have preferred if you had talked to the viewers; more like the second half of the video.

    The other thing that you did during the video that I felt gave a totally wrong impression was when you reached over and moved her into the position you wanted. While I am sure that you have probably worked with the model a lot and she was probably fine with it, I feel for a tutorial it gives the wrong impression to photographers just starting out. I always ask permission to touch the model or the model’s hair, even models who I know very well and who are more like family.

    Never heard of the squinty eyes being better. I even noticed in the his MM portfolio several (most?) having bright eyes.

    Think of a gal looking at you. If she is squinting, you probably have something in your teeth or your hair is doing something crazy. If her eyes are open, she is taking in all of you. We call the latter, smiling with your eyes.

    The trick is to have open eyes without raising the eyebrows (often causes forehead wrinkles). One photographer teaches his models to open the bottom eyelid – not easy for most of us.

      James, the ‘squinch’ is a Peter Hurley technique.
