my dvd covers the foundation of all modeling....NO POSING.....you have to educate the model on how her body looks to the photographer.........

and the photographer does not want to teach a "so called professional" on his or her dime......they should KNOW these things already.......

how to fake walking, how to fake a great big laugh, what to do with their hands....the hands give it away to me right away....

how and where to look off camera so you don't get all whites of the eyes....ect...

this is the nuts and bolts that EVERY model should know.....

Regardless of what you think they should know, they don't.  Schools don't teach what professionals really need to know, they just teach what they want to teach, and claim it is what professionals need to know.  This thread should be as good an illustration of that as any.
