How to work with fashion models.
Working with models can be very fun and meeting new and interesting people is definitely a perk of the job. However, it is very important for a fashion photographer to make sure that his shoot is a professional and safe environment. Daily, I hear horror stories of fashion photographers abusing their craft and not treating models with the respect they deserve. Remember, your reputation spreads like wildfire. Behave professionally and you will be considered a professional in this industry. Behave poorly and you will be viewed as an amateur or labelled by the modeling agencies as a photographer that is to be avoided.
When a model steps onto your set she can be in a position of vulnerability. Sometimes the clothes may be revealing or the photos ask for an emotional response the model may feel uncomfortable sharing. It is your job to make her feel at ease.
I have heard of many photographers yelling at models, telling them that they don’t know how to move properly or not giving them any sort of direction. I get it. You think your cool because you are a fashion photographer and people love your images. Get overyourself. It is highly unlikely that you are going to make models respect you by yelling at them or making them feel inferior.
Be nice. People will find out that you are nice and fun to work with. And let’s face it. People want to work with people they like. Besides if you make models feel uncomfortable it will show in your fashion photography. Help models to feel at ease.
