Things you shouldn't say to a model
It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told.

Jan 09 13 01:36 pm Link Your boob job reminds me of Marty Felman's eyes.  Jan 09 13 01:40 pm Link Don't mind my blank stare, I'm just trying to mentally figure out how much Gaussian blur I'm going to have to use. Let's move you away from the striped background, makes using liquify later easier. Oh.....you're already nude. I couldn't tell. Jan 09 13 01:45 pm Link "did I say to don't come with much make up? Ok, I changed my mind, we need much more make up on your face". "I show you the photos after photoshoping you". "can you hide your belly?". "show more breasts". "I can't find any props that will make you good". "ok you can change and preper yourself in the next door" "but I am ready" "really? I didn't realise, sorry" "nice hair cut" (to a nude model). Jan 09 13 01:46 pm Link I've been working on a concept with a nude model in a bathtub filled with ice... Jan 09 13 01:57 pm Link Nicholas Fischer wrote: lol...yes to the 3rd one.

Jan 09 13 02:09 pm Link I usually explain to inexperienced models and clients that I use the expression "BOBI" and then explain it means Boobs Out Belly In. After reminding them that they are also supposed to breathe while posing I can go through the rest of the shoot saying "BOBI and Breathe" without causing offense. Jan 09 13 02:28 pm Link "I can't shoot your best side. You're sitting on it." "Just a sec. I'm gonna need my wide-angle lens." (Those lines are older than the vast majority of people on MM.) Jan 09 13 02:34 pm Link ..can I shoot your escort instead.... Jan 09 13 02:44 pm Link "Don't worry, I have a "skinny" lens in my bag." Jan 09 13 02:54 pm Link "Changed my mind, put your clothes back on". Jan 09 13 02:56 pm Link Things you shouldn't say to a model: On answering the doorbell, "Oh are you the model's mother"? "Do you mind if I get in in this shot too"? (when model is nude) Jan 09 13 03:00 pm Link Oh my... those are nice  Jan 09 13 03:12 pm Link "Do you know how to turn this thing on?" Jan 09 13 03:17 pm Link Sam Comer Photography wrote: Heh. Given the "make love to the camera" cliche, that could be a double entendre! Jan 09 13 03:22 pm Link When I was working in radio a photographer was performing a shoot with some of the "radio station girls" - yes, very cliche and exactly what you think. I'm setting up audio equipment for a remote broadcast and I here the photographer say, "Boy, if I were 20 years younger and you were 20 pounds lighter...I'd break you in two." My jaw dropped, the models smiles were gone. He then commented with the standard "I meant it but realize now it was inappropriate" disclaimer of "Just kidding..." 20 years ago and I still remember the look on the model's faces. So, yeah, probably not a great idea to tell a model you want to "break them in two." Jan 09 13 03:25 pm Link This was actually said to me on my very first shoot... Here, this'll make your legs look shiny... *spritzes water on my legs* Let me rub that in for you. Jan 09 13 03:29 pm Link "Let's try a different angle...I'm trying to make your feet(/hands) look smaller." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn1BIRplKrM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSL4cmFW_GU Jan 09 13 03:51 pm Link Good Egg Productions wrote: Without "fatty" on the end, sure, but I've told models to suck it in.

Jan 09 13 04:12 pm Link (backstory, I mountain bike, many locations I pick are in areas I ride and I like to know the history to areas...and I talk too much. First shoot of last year. The bottom most pics in my portfolio resulted from that day.) I said... "so that bench we just walked past is the memorial to that teenage girl who was abducted and killed three years ago" her reply was.... "Well that was different... usually photographers start by complaining I am wearing a bra..." Jan 09 13 05:45 pm Link My lens is not the only other thing that is big!
