Location Shooting

Carefully Select Models

The photographer called me aside. “We’ve got a problem with the model.”

I glanced at the set, puzzled. “She looks OK to me.”

He shook his head gravely. “She’s not getting enough attention,” he murmured.

When any photography shoot— whether outside or inside—includes models, your life is more complicated. Try to book models that someone on your photo crew has worked with before. This might protect you from models with difficult personalities or awkward working habits. But even cooperative, flexible, hard-working models can present constant challenges that must be handled quickly and smoothly so the shoot can continue.
