How should photographers guide models?

Usually when you cooperate for the first time, no matter what you do, you have to tell the model. When changing the long lens, tell her the focal length and distance of the lens and the wide angle. Let her see what the lens is like first, and let the model and photographer who are still used to shooting think synchronously, which will help her imagine the picture with peace of mind.

At the beginning of shooting, it is usually customary to give the model a small situation, which helps the model to imagine feelings and limbs and let the model play freely first. With a small situation, just like a script, the model can express the picture more naturally instead of standing there.

Sometimes, a model's best expression may appear in transition movements or in the air. At this time, you can consider taking a snapshot, try to read the time when the model will have a good expression, and then press the shutter. After observation and prediction, you can shoot the taste you can shoot. Tell the model not to change her face when she stops. Although some models may keep turning to look at you because they are not used to this way (laughs). But you can get good expression more easily by trying to get into the habit of modeling.

Sometimes it may be because of what you said or did that the model has a beautiful smile. If there is no simulation to reproduce, reproduce a similar scene and make the model laugh again. Natural expressions, sometimes need some photographers to create an atmosphere, which can make shooting more possible.

Some people will say that people are taking pictures outside, and the photos taken some time ago are actually useless, and it didn't get better until later. This is because the initial nervousness of the model will affect the body and expression, and only a little tacit understanding cultivated through the time spent together can gradually eliminate this nervousness, so the photographer needs to maintain a pleasant atmosphere in shooting and maintain interaction with the model. If you just take photos by yourself, sometimes you may not get a good expression.
