I haven't really connected much with a photographer so it makes it a bit hard feeling totally comfortable and "sexy" in front of the camera. But I believe that practice is the only thing that can perfect me. I have to learn from the best, know my weakness as I move along and like you said turn them into my strong features then my strong ones even stronger. I am developing and will always be willing and ready to learn so I too can become a better model. Master my emotions, body, movement and it all. Thanks a lot DallasPaulhttp://www.facebook.com/paul.h.oseinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829531430369335110.post-86195769773018566402011-01-20T10:15:53.534-08:002011-01-20T10:15:53.534-08:00soooo True.

I try to ensure ...soooo True. I feel what you say. <br />I try to ensure that every model i work with learns form the experience of working with me as well. <br />and hope that in moving on that they move on to bigger and better things.<br />In short that they can outgrow me. Because it is in their growth that i grow in my craft as well.<br /><br />RC..RasConradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189416324832762675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829531430369335110.post-76395276329962396352010-06-03T14:34:00.177-07:002010-06-03T14:34:00.177-07:00REALNESS 101 APPROVED!!!

Like any other business relationship it may take two or three tries for a photographer to see you as a person and a saleable image, and it also takes several visits before a model learns to completely relax with a specific lensman. Young models are often insecure about their looks and their ability in front of the camera and they jump from photographer to photgrapher looking to find that special picture, but they rarely understand that there is also quality in photography that can only be mastered after forging a comfortable relationship with the person behing the lens. A good, striking portfolio takes several years to develop and many model wannabees actually second guess themselves and poop out before they get results. When you find a photographer that can teach you how to work in front of a camera the information and the experience is priceless. However, in these digital times, there are only a few today that really know what to share with a model because they dont fully understand the process of lighting, composition and retouching. During the entire course of a model's career there will only be two or three people that will truly capture the spirit and essence of a model, and one will stand out above the others. That is a relationship to be encourages and fostered. Photographers can love models simply because of their extreme beauty and then there are other models that will bring fluid movement and personality to share. Whatever the case, the feelings behind the education and the relationship between the two will also be captured during the shoot. The two of you create a team spirit that encourages growth and even highr expectations. When you find a photographer that shoots you well and knows and understands your "process", than it is best to stay connected.Bruce Hawkinshttp://www.modelmayhem.com/UponSpecialRequestnoreply@blogger.com
