A quick tip on capture that perfect pose/expression

Expression is everything in a shot.
You can have the best styling in the world but if the model looks “bored” that’s about it… unless of course looking bored is what you’re after.

One of the tricks I always use to get great expressions and “movement” in a shot is to shoot on “motordrive/slow” you will shoot 2-3 frames a second and you just let the model move/pose/express her/himself. This way you get the more natural looks easier, and this really enhances the shoot A LOT.

So the next time you are a bit stuck in posing your model, just let go of the “a little bit more like….., no do it like….. AARGH” and just let her/him move, 90% of the shots you can trash, but trust me…the killer shot will be there.

Do make sure to use a smaller aperture because the model moves a lot you will have out of focus shots very easily on wider apertures.
