First Relax Yourself
Your nervousness can make your subject feel еще nervous and therefore, make sure Ты are absolutely relaxed. As soon as your model arrives, greet her with a lovely smile and ask her about her day, her breakfast, или if she needs anything. The gentler Ты will be towards her, the better she will feel. Talk to her as if Ты are her friend but never behave very informally. For amateurs, it will be very difficult to remain relaxed on their first few assignments but remember that your complete Фото studio kit is not going Ты shout at you. Get familiar with your camera and camera accessories so that Ты don’t get very anxious.
Explain Everything to Your Model
If Ты leave your subject clueless, she will feel awkward. So before Ты start your shoot, sit with her for a few minutes, and explain what the project is all about, what types of poses Ты want, what Ты are actually willing to capture, etc. Brief her completely so that she is well aware of what Ты need from her. This way, Ты will not only educate her but also make her feel comfortable.
Stop Saying Useless Jokes to Make Her Laugh
She may give Ты a smile just for the sake of satisfying Ты but at the end of the shoot, she will feel annoyed and might not want to work with Ты again. The best way to make her smile is to compliment her, tell her a funny story, или anything that is seriously interesting. The whole idea is to make her feel comfortable so that she can give Ты natural expressions.
Do Not Touch Her
Keep this in mind forever. Whether Ты need to position her body correctly или want to flick some hairs out of her face, touching your model can make her feel uncomfortable. Instead of doing it yourself, ask her to do it for you. If she is not able to do it properly, seek her permission before touching her. This way, Ты will be able to build your credibility.
Be Prepared
Before starting your shoot, make sure Ты have your complete Фото studio kit ready with you. Ты will kill your model’s confidence if she finds that Ты have forgotten your camera accessories или are clueless about how to use your gear. Look like a pro in order to win your model’s confidence.
