Tips from Both Sides of the Camera #5

by Ken Worley

This is week number five. I’m having a harder time coming up with tips for in front of the camera than I thought.

Tip for the photographer behind the camera:
Know your gear.
Fumbling with your camera and lights while the model is waiting on the other side of the camera is not going to make a very good impression. It will also cause your credibility as a professional to drop very quickly. If your subject has even the smallest amount of nervousness it will be increased exponentially.

Know Your Gear

Tip for the model in front of the camera:
Make Suggestions.
Feel free to tell the photographer what you have in mind for the photographs. You may have already talked a little about what you wanted or had in mind before the photo session. But there may be some thing or someplace during the session that sparks an idea. By keeping a good line of communication between photographer and model it will help the creativity flow and grow, resulting in some great photos that really bring out who you are.
