Models, what do you like...
to listen to during a shoot? not to exclude, everyone else feel free to share as well. May 23 14 01:25 pm Link This is going to be interesting May 23 14 03:07 pm Link I would think my singing to a model would win the day. Otherwise, I do music CD's in the studio - Tina Turner, Rod Stewart, Elton, James Taylor and the blues. May 23 14 03:19 pm Link Most of the time when shooting at my home studio, we put on Pandora and the models pick. I like listening to the variety of music out there. One time a Russian model asked if she could put on her inspirational music. It was male and female choruses singing in Russian (of which I do not speak at all). It was actually uplifting and I had no clue what was being said. May 23 14 03:25 pm Link As long as it's NOT: The Eagles, REO Speedwagon, Air Supply, Foghat, Bruce Springsteen, or Aerosmith, I don't care. Play whatever you want, just not that ^^ I'm fond of shooting with music like Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, classic jazz, also soul music. Everyone likes that, for the most part. May 23 14 03:36 pm Link Nothing honestly. Music is a distraction that I tune out if I don't like it. If I did want to listen to music at a shoot the genres would be all over the place. May 23 14 03:56 pm Link The voices in my head. May 23 14 05:05 pm Link I'm another who would prefer no music because it can be distracting. If there has to be music, the best choice is something more on the classical end of the spectrum, even though I might not listen to that type very often. I definitely would not want to have rap, hip-hop or any of the other current kinds of music. May 23 14 05:13 pm Link I'm another one who prefers no music... May 23 14 05:21 pm Link I prefer no music.  But any music is fine as long as it's not country music. May 23 14 05:23 pm Link I've always had models ask for music, I let them plug in their iphones so long as it isn't heavy metal or country I'm fine with it. LOL May 23 14 05:27 pm Link "as long as its not country" lol usually when I'm listing options/suggestions i skip country as well. I never like the music loud when shooting but I usually have something playing. End up tuning it out anyways after shooting starts. May 23 14 05:47 pm Link My favourites at the moment are Ghost, Sisters of Mercy, Rob Zombie and always, always, Type O. May 23 14 05:54 pm Link I usually like photographers/artists to pick. It helps me get in their head. May 23 14 06:49 pm Link Isis22 wrote: I tell the model to feel free to listen to the music of her choice through headphones.

Pin-up will probably be 40's/50's big band. Whatever gets me most in the mood for what i'm trying to convey. May 25 14 11:02 am Link It depends on the shoot, but I LOVE posing to music. I usually love classic rock, but for modeling I tend to like something with a quick tempo and often end up in current alternative/ pop rock/ rock. I'm actually surprised so many find it a distraction-- I never knew! May 25 14 11:49 am Link But I should add, I try to remember to mention the option for the model to plug her/his phone into the stereo system. May 25 14 01:02 pm Link I always play Hank Williams Sr. Old Country Music. When I put on Hey, Hey Good Lookin the models go wild, they start dancing and singing, it is fantastic... :-) If you believe that how would you like to buy the Golden Gate Bridge today...real cheap? May 25 14 01:14 pm Link Any uptempo music, easily. Something fun and poppy for commercial. Something more club-esque for fashion. Something that makes me want to dance. I once did a shoot while basically dancing all over the place to the "Sexy Chick" song and it pains me to say I have no photos from it (or a video of me letting loose for the entire song). May 25 14 03:32 pm Link I hate having the pre-shoot music conversation. I usually try to leave it up to the photographer, but most of the time they try to pressure me into playing something off my iPod instead. Most of the music I listen to is extreme metal. It's not good for shooting and it'll usually weird someone out. Just...put Pandora on or something. :S May 25 14 04:17 pm Link I have never listened to music during a shoot (although it sounds fun) but it depends. Some of my favorites include Billy Squier, The Rolling Stones, Def Leppard, Robert Palmer, Panic! At The Disco, and Green Day. Definitely bands that could lighten up my mood, make me feel comfortable, etc. May 26 14 04:24 am Link I will generally ask a model if she has a preference for (or against) anything. Sometimes she'll say "nothing, please" and we don't have music. Sometimes she'll ask for a specific group or genre of music, and I cue that up on Pandora. Sometimes she'll say "Whatever" and I'll get to trot out my synthpop collection. It's all good to me. And usually, if the model expresses a negative preference, it will be that she doesn't like "modern country". May 26 14 08:42 am Link Soul, Jazz, Classical Music....really anything slow and peaceful that can put me in the mood. Funny that I've never had to make a request. The artists I've worked with always say "you look like the ___(insert genre listed above) type." Eh, lucky me.

May 26 14 01:44 pm Link I am open minded about music but it would be cool to have the music match the theme of the set if both sides of the cam can get a feel for the shoot from that. For example, retro pin up: Buddy Holly, richie valens, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash.  that would be fun. Can't speak for other models though. May 26 14 02:43 pm Link |
