Hi all,
I know that am leaving this very late, but to be honest I only just thought to post here.
Tomorrow night I am going to be shooting 2 inexperianced models for a club portrait session.
Now I dont have a great deal of actual hands on experaince with portraits although I have done a session before and have taken the time to read alot and look at all your fine work for inspiration.
One thing that I learnt from my last session of portraiture is, I think, Its a lot harder to be the photographer than the model.
So with 2 new models on the go tomorrow night, does anyone have any tips on how I can make this an enjoyable experiance for them both. I do want to use them again some time.
So far I have:
- Selected about 10 poses each for the session
- Developed a cheat sheet for them both on how to wear makeup, clothing requirements
- Some general things like bring water
- Provided copies of the poses I would like to use to each model in advance to help relax them, give them an opportunity to think about them and add any they would like to choose
- Spoken to them both and outlined what the night is about and what I would expect as an outcome of that night
I have a fairly firm theoretical knowledge of basic modeling etc etc and what to do, I also have a Portrait photographer on hand to help out.
As a last ditch effort to make the most of this, I thought I would ask.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance
