On the back of my head I keep thinking about what would happen if I have a drink or two before the shoot.  Form one side, I am thinking it should help relax.  But then again, my Mom always sais that I look like I have Daun Syndrome https://www.garage.chel.ru/forum/images/smiles/crazy.gifwhen I am drunk.

Did anyone actually try that?

i had a shoot with a model who showed up hungover, when she saw her pictures she said

'howcome you only shot me when my eyes were half closed..'

just getting down isn't going to make you more fluid

or fluid isn't going to help you get down

I did a shoot once where the model was drinking as the evening progressed. You can see it in her eyes, and she nearly fell on me. Now, ordinarily, I wouldn't mind a drunk naked model falling on me, but dammit, I was trying to get a picture!

As a musician,unfortunately there are times that I have to get on the "wrong side" of the camera,ie,have my pics taken.
To say it bluntly,I suck(and the funny thing is that people say i should give modeling a try,until they see how I look in front of a camera)
100 pics might get me 1 usable,and whole band photos would be nightmares(i would just say,draw in a stickfigure of meself)
My problem is that I looked way too uptight
a few drinks actually made me more relaxed,and the ratio would go up from 1 per 100 pics to about 6 per 100
Guess thats why I'm on the side of the camera that I am(andn why I always use female vocalists,less of the ugly longhaired metal guy,more of the cute singer=more CD sales)

That is pretty funny.  Just keep in mind misspelling of the last name learned in foreing language is a very common thing.

It wasn't meant to be funny. I was seriously wondering if there was a such thing as Daun Syndrome... You had no problem with your English before, so I never thought about it.

I don't have a problem with my English now either.
I just didn't know how to spell a word.

Ok, we all already came to that conclusion. It's no big deal.

You have the look ( and Height ) to take it to the highest level .. maybe there are other ways to relax  - if the pressures of the shoot are too much ....

Thank you, 
I was more curious actually.  I know that I dance better when I drink, so that is why I wondered.
