How to work with a brand new model

0 Comments
During this episode we show you the first shoot I did with our new model Janaika.
I show you some tricks I use to get the model at ease, but also loads of tips on lighting and coaching the model.
You see the lighting setups via 3 cameras and of course all the images I shoot are shown in a PIP setup.

The differences in posing and how to coach
So how do I do it?
I will always start out with a standard pose, just to get the lighting right and the overall look of the shot.
But right after that I will start coaching the model not how to pose but more giving compliments, pushing his/her energy up.
If you don't tell your model what to do but only adjust slightly you will always get awesome and unique poses.
How many models/photographers do you know/recognise due to the poses?

A surreal set and loads of colors
One of the most important things for me when I teach workshops is that I have to keep challenging myself but also the attendees of the workshops
This means I'm always looking for new creative way to use light, color, backgrounds, sets etc.
