PHOTO SHOOT FOR DUMMIES
Everybody in the world knows something is for sure … modeling is not easy. If you want the heads up of modeling to make it easier then read along. First things first, posture is very important in a shoot. You must always keep your back straight, your shoulders straight and always remember to suck in that stomach! It doesn’t matter your weight or shape, but keeping a good posture will always give the illusion of a great slim figure. Bad posture in modeling will give the illusion of a larger stomach. While keeping good posture and modeling, you must never lose concentration and don’t forget to breath well and to appear calm and not in pain. Also in posing, if a limb of your body is different from the other as to length or being straight always bend the other limb so the pose looks normal. It is nice and pleasant to give an asymmetrical look to the body in a photograph.When doing sitting poses never fully set the thigh on what you’re sitting on or else it’ll give the effect of large thighs. Also, you might want to shift parts of your body a bit or “roll” a hip up to give the illusion of a fit figure. When posing, you don’t always have to look directly at the camera; you can look away, squinting the eye a bit and tilting your head and neck if you want. Squint the eyes a bit so you don’t look like you’re staring off into space. If you look directly at the camera give the “look” some warmth and “flirt” a bit with the camera so you don’t give a cold stare. Also, you can show off a warm smile, or give the expression some variety like laughing or pouting. Another nice thing to do is “smile with your eyes.”You will also do a variety of types of photo shoots. One can be sort of the everyday photography. You don’t have to look like you are a broken-down doll, but like your everyday life with casual and everyday expressions. The other type of photography is in movement. When you are moving in a photo shoot you must always be aware of your face and body so you don’t look uncomfortable. Oh Yeah…never forget what you are selling! Always keep product visible and make it look good. The last two is a headshot when it focuses on the face and neck. In a body shot always be aware of the pose and don’t forget your body and face and keep these tips in your head. When doing these photographs, don’t forget that they are focused on you so give yourself some spa treatment. You deserve it!
