- Photos OK to edit
You might not be aware of this, but females have much more experience looking at their reflection in a mirror than most guys realize. Since they were little girls they have been analyzing, critiquing, posing, and generally learning what looks good and what doesn't. This goes for poses, clothing, makeup, hair, and all the rest. Girls have much more experience at that than you do.I'm learning that females are tough to work with, I get certain poses work well for their angles but overall when I sent them the photos to see if they like certain edits they are definitely not shy about telling me that they don't like certain photos.
You need to get ahead of the curve, so to speak. If your model for that day is very busty, take that into consideration on the poses you select. If she is thin, try to select poses that flatter her shape. This is a learning experience for you, and trying it "hit or miss" is the slow way. Start studying photographic poses based on enhancing and flattering certain body shapes. If a model says she doesn't like that pose, ask her to be specific and tell you what exactly about that pose she doesn't like. If it's an eyebrow slightly out of place, then assure her you won't publish it in a national magazine without first applying some very skillful post-capture editing.
