How do photographers guide inexperienced models to take pictures?

Most models who have no shooting experience will be a little unnatural in front of the camera, and their limbs or expressions will be stiff, so photographers are needed to guide the models into the state.

1. Recreation

If it's a clapping face, let the model look away or bow his head first, shout "look at me" instead of "look at the camera" before pressing the shutter (try to make the model forget to take pictures and show the most real and natural side) or distract the model with the help of shooting props, so that the model and props can interact and the photographer can take a snapshot.

Pay attention to the side face

If the model's expression is unnatural when looking directly at the camera, the photographer can focus on the side face to set off the atmosphere. Guide the model's eyes to look slightly in the direction of the camera (don't look at the camera with both eyes completely white), slightly raise your head and close your chin to make the line feel more obvious.

3. Highlight the sense of atmosphere

You can try the "faceless" shooting method, and create works with more atmosphere and artistic sense through shooting angle, model action, composition, props and light.

Shoot a distant view/close-up

Take some large-scale composition foreground with landscape as the main theme, and put the visual center on the whole picture; Or high-speed continuous shooting to capture the movements of the model; You can also take some partial compositions of the model's body to enrich the whole set.

Tips:

1. When a model is nervous, she may grin involuntarily or look too serious. These micro-expressions will spoil the beauty of photos, so the photographer should always observe the model's expression and remind her to relax her facial muscles.

2. Praise can make people feel beautiful and more confident. Photographers can communicate with models more, praise and encourage models more, make plans before shooting, find some information about similar styles or shooting actions, and let models preview the actions first.

3. It is suggested that models communicate with photographers more actively. Silence will make the photographer feel stressed and affect the film production rate ~

4. Models can tell photographers what they want to do in advance, as well as their own good-looking angles, and conduct friendly communication.
