What makes a good model?
A lot of young women these days are turning to modelling as a career.
Which is great! I'm all about supporting self-employed people!
However modelling isn't as easy as it looks!
It might look like it's a few hours of just looking pretty in front of a camera, but this could not be more wrong.
So I'm going to start with saying a good model does their prep. Once they get a booking they will then talk with the photographer/ client & find out the photo shoot concept & brief. This allows them time to buy clothing items, props, plan their hair & make up accordingly.
Another sign of a good model is them arriving on time for shoots & ready. Like everything time is money. So if they've done their make up & hair before arriving at a shoot they're pretty much ready to shoot straight away.
Also a good model doesn't just stand in front of the camera. They pose & move rhythmically into the next pose. If you get the chance to watch a good model working you'll know what I mean. They know their body so well they know which angles are flattering & which are a big no no!
They will also model head to toe not forgetting to pose even their little finger.
These are just a few things that are an indicator of a good model.
As a photographer you get to know the good from the not so good.
So if you are thinking of doing some modelling, do your research & practice!
