The key to being a good model is lots of practice in the mirror learning your own expressions. It's not the photographer's job to pose every single image, however it is a collaborative effort while working together in order to create awesome images. You as the model should inspire the photographer by MOVING and altering your poses and expressions. When you here the camera click...I like what you're doing. When I'm aiming the camera at you and there is no click.....keep moving until THE SHOT happens and I'm clicking away. It's actually a TON more fun this way also. I want you to be YOU when we are working together.
I haven't had too many male models in my career be able to do all the above. When you do get someone in front your lens that can move...D I R E C T them with positivity and help push the session into the imagery you want to create.
This male model is Shashank. This was the second time working together within a couple of weeks and when I tell you he knows how to move and be genuine, I mean it. I think we laughed at each other more than talking about poses or better lighting scenes. I love movement. I love the actions your body makes when you are expressive from laughing, jumping, walking...breathing! ha!
In this world of texting and emails, it's actually VERY IMPORTANT to know how to be present and in the moment with your clients. It used to be how good your images looked made you the best pro photographer in town and worthy of charging a lot of money. Now, more than ever relationships are key to longevity in business. Yes, you need to always get better at your craft but how well people like being around you is a major key to a success business. THIS I CANNOT TEACH YOU!!!
That was your parent's job raising you. :)
