Modelling is also acting, well actually a lot of acting

Over the years I’ve photographed many different models in many different locations and situations.
Ranging from trade shows on a booth measuring 2×3 mtrs to awesome castles.

One thing I learned is that you can shoot in the most difficult or awesome locations, the model determines how the results will end up.
When I look for models the first thing of course I look at is how the model looks, I don’t believe in size zero and love to shoot “real” people instead of barbie dolls.
And that immediately brings us to the most important part.

Having fun with poses. This will get you more dynamic photos and much more fun during the shoot

One thing that I learned after the posing books was finding the lines in a pose.
Sometimes it’s a nice flowing S-curve in a pose, and sometimes I loved working with triangles.
Now in all honesty I didn’t really look for triangles, it just happened that all the shots I really liked had some triangles in the poses.
