Yesterday I had an amazing photoshoot with the famous dancer from L.A. Emily Alabi, choreographer for celebrities and singers such as Ne-yo, Far East Movement, Snoop Dogg, Selena Gomez, international awards as dancer like "World Salsa Champion", finalist on "America's Got Talent", choreographer for "Dancing with the stars" in Italy, model for renowned commercial brands such as "Nike", "Jack in the Box" and many more brands, dancer on popular TV shows as well.
It was a pleasure working with her, having a professional model in front of you and applying all the knowledge you have been learning all these years is such a perfect combination. I'm a big fan of continuous education, I believe that you will never stop learning and you can always get better, learn from others!
Some tips for models: when you have a professional photographer shooting you it's very important to be confident, don't ever get intimidated by the camera and feel at home, photographers are used to have models in front of their camera and you will not be the first model that they're shooting. So feel comfortable and feel like you're alone posing for yourself in front of the mirror, you were born for that! If the photographer doesn't start that connection you can always start it, flirt with the camera, inspire, and I guarantee that something will happen and the shoot will be amazing! You can inspire us!
For those fellow photographers, here some tips and info: Having a least the right basic equipment is necessary. I shot all the session with my Canon 7D and only one lens Canon 85mm 1.8 since I didn't bring my Canon 28mm 1.4 which I love, but for a photo shoot this was perfect, try to use lens 50mm or higher, they will always give you a better perspective and impact when you take headshots or single-person shots. And if you're reading all this till now you may have read about the tips for models, so it's your job to establish that connection with the models in front of your camera, make them feel comfortable, be outgoing, confident, treat them like any normal person and I guarantee you that you will make them feel comfortable.
Make sure you practice a lot so the basic knowledge of technical stuff is in the back of your mind and you just concentrate in being creative and seeing things differently so you can get a variety of shots. Use the walls, play with the angles, look for patterns and the most important, search the light if you're in exterior, or use the light right if you're in the studio, play with it.
Leave you two pictures of the session. Good luck!
