Tip : make that model hurt…..

Well ok don’t take that literally because that’s a whole different kind of photography 😀
But when you want to make images a bit more interesting it sometimes helps to let the model pose a bit beyond her/his comfort zone. During the workshop “coaching and motion” we did some more “extreme” poses with our model Ingrid, who has the legs for it…. and today some of the results.

The most important thing you have to remember is finding the lines.
Some of these were shot with a very wide angle (sigma 12-24) and you will get some distortion from these kind of lenses, make sure you follow the lines and make them lead the viewers eyes towards the model, in this case I use the legs of the model for this purpose.

Also always remember to WALK AROUND the model, this way you get totally different looks from the same setup, and the more you can shoot like this the better is for the end results because you are actually creating more different looks in a very limited time frame, and time…. well we never have enough of that.
