Directing Models
Someone posted somthing early this morning or could of been last last night, about directing models I assume for photography. I have a book I think would be of some insight into this process....."Model Manaul" by Arthur Elgort. I hope it's still in print, but it will help you understand the process. I have worked more with dancers since my college days. so I have tended to use models with a background in dance, and yes there still is the process of seeing movement that will gain some images that will amaze you.

To the window, to the wall, To the sweat drop down my balls To all you bitches crawl To all skee skee motherfucker May 10 05 07:55 am Link Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: 'can't just tell the model to move a little bit more to the left can you? LOL May 10 05 09:42 am Link Posted by Alex Alexander: Amazon doesn't have it. That's usually a pretty good indication that it's not in print, although Amazon isn't the end-all of book stores. May 10 05 09:47 am Link Directing models is pretty easy - Lean over a bit more, bit more, bit more.... wait, do not let go of the railing yet, you are out of focus!!!!! Ok. Maybe I should stick to directing traffic instead.... and LarryB - here is the Amazon link for you :-) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de … 2?v=glance Never ever ever use amazon to search amazon.... Always use google :-P May 10 05 09:55 am Link I am just wondering if it is normal for a photographer to only direct and not let the model pose herself at all.. I worked with a guy who was sitting in the same place and jsut had me spinning around like i was on a lazy susan...it was werid because the last guy i was with let me pose myself, he moved in relation to where he saw fit and then he would tell me if i needed to fix something....suffice to say i had more fun with the guy i could play with rather than the one i was a maniquine for....

Some are very specific in their direction, others let the model do her thing. I prefer the latter.

I believe you can see this at work in the movie Artemesia, or was it Camille Claudell? Or something else? haha May 11 05 01:20 pm Link AlexAlexander/Moderator wrote: I wonder if over 1% even have heard of Arthur Elgort.

Jan 13 07 04:25 pm Link I like to have the model pose themselves with the thinking...the more they pose themselves the more natural it comes across.....with a few tips and suggestions along the way. It is subjective....different approaches.....whatever works works Jan 13 07 04:30 pm Link |
