TFP shoots
When doing a TFP shoot, I try not to be too bossy & try to do pics they will like. Is this a mistake? Jul 08 05 12:12 pm Link Only if you don't want models to work with you more than once or tell other models that you are good to do TFP with.  "Bossy" is almost never good. "Assertive and confident" is okay, though. Inexperienced models are often a little nervous that they're "not doing it right" and they really benefit from confident and clear direction. As far as "pics they will like," that's pretty much the object of the exercise. I always do some simple ones that they can use for a portfolio as well as whatever it is that I'm trying to achieve.

And it shows - model interaction and comfort is the MOST IMPORTANT THING you can learn and work on as a photogrpaher....

Posted by Freelancer: Bossy = not good. Direction = good. Esp. new models. They have no clue what they're doing and need all the help they can get.

I never try to "push" I take into consideration with them, what if any expierence they have, what kind of imaging they do or don't want. Some times you have to be asseritive, but you can be that way with out sending yourself or another to the crazy room. Get comfortable with your model, let them feel comfortable with you, the work comes out better that way. I normally use upsomewhere between 10-20 rolls of 24 exposure films, and out of that 20 of the photos come out great on half the rolls of film. Jul 11 05 01:09 am Link |
