Veja como você pode se comunicar efetivamente com modelos durante uma sessão de fotos.

Part of directing a model is knowing how. If they are a "Mover", a "Giver" with grace (Rare in most models) then your job as a director is just point to a spot you want/need the model to stand and tell them OK or we're shooting and they will start to gracely move and give looks you can then easily capture. Never say "you are doing this wrong", tell or show them what you want them to do. With a model that is not a mover, you will need to say "Change please", or move. Bring examples of a great model you have seen in a magazine & show your model what you are looking for them to do. Just tear them out of a mag. It will take a good while to become a good a director.

Make clear declarative statements about what the goals are. What do you want these images to say? How do you want this person to be represented? Make sure you and everyone in the photo is on the same page about this.

Antes de comenzar la sesión, hay que discutir tus ideas y objetivos con la modelo. Hay que asegúrarse de que ambos estén en la misma sintonia en cuanto al estilo, la temática y el ambiente que deseamos a capturar en las fotos.

You can effectively communicate with models during a photoshoot by getting their names right. Greet them and introduce yourself. Inform them about the goals of this photoshoot. Show them the various poses you would like to explore. Direct them when they aren't well positioned. Compliment them when they do something right.

D'après mon expérience, une communication claire, fluide est importante et surtout par moment il faut éviter le jargon trop technique quand on communique un client, et savoir ce qu'il veut et lui proposer ce qui convient en tant que professionnel en répondant à son besoin et tout doit se faire sous un climat favoris donc il faut à tout prix établir un climat détendue ou presqu'amical si je peux le dire ainsi, et encourager notre sujet à être le plus détendu possible!

Building rapport with models—or anyone, for that matter, come down to this simple practice I adopted a while ago: be more interested than interesting. It’s tempting to talk about oneself, but the real joy in working with people, for me anyhow, comes from discovering their stories and understanding who they are. We all have a story. The most effective way to establish rapport with a model, or anyone you meet, is to ask genuine questions and listen actively. This approach not only enriches the interaction but also enhances the collaboration, leading to more meaningful and productive outcomes. So yeah, ask questions. Easy.

Remember they are human (and you should be too). Never forget politeness and kindness. Look for mutual interests and tastes, and find things. Make it one of your goals to give them a good experience.

Provide Positive and Constructive Feedback: Offer feedback to models throughout the shoot in a supportive and constructive manner. Acknowledge their efforts and strengths while gently guiding them toward adjustments or improvements when needed. Be specific with your feedback, highlighting what is working well and offering suggestions for refinement. Use encouraging language and gestures to maintain a positive atmosphere and boost confidence, ultimately resulting in more authentic and compelling photos.

Be a human being and let the people in front of the camera know it's okay to be a human being. People will often apologies for moments of "imperfection" if the laugh when they "aren't supposed to" encourage them this is not only okay but a great way to get closer to your goal! Comfort is key and people are comfortable when they can genuinely express themselves and have authentic interactions with the photographer.

If a photographer says, “Turn to the left” does that mean turn your body or your face? And is that your left or mine! Directions and crystal clear communication is key when working with any client. It puts them at ease, knowing you are the professional and it keeps them from having to guess your wishes while wearing makeup and sometimes even an elaborate outfit.

Be specific. Be be specific. If you want someone to turn their head and not their body, what will happen when you say "turn to the right?" could be just the head, could be head and body, could be just the body. "Turn your face towards your right shoulder." Is a much clearer way to get what you want. Also mirroring is great. If you want them to turn their face towards their right shoulder, show them by turning *your* face towards your left shoulder. People are usually very good at mirroring movement in this way.

La distensión, el generar un una conección intrínseca entre el modelo y la cámara, poder captar aquellas expresiones quizás no buscadas pero increíbles... es marvilloso Pero considero que al dar instrucciones en principio se debe tener en claro que es lo que se busca. También el tener la ambientación adecuada, para ayudar al modelo a concentrarse y compenetrarse en aquello que se quiera generar.

Demonstrate Poses and Expressions: Instead of solely relying on verbal instructions, physically demonstrate poses, expressions, and movements to effectively convey your vision to the models. By modeling the desired look yourself, you provide a clear visual reference that helps models understand and replicate the desired aesthetic. Additionally, demonstrating poses can help break the ice and establish rapport with models, making them feel more comfortable and confident during the shoot.

Hay que explicar claramente lo que estás buscando en cada toma. Es recomendable usar un lenguaje sencillo y evita tecnicismos que puedan confundir a la modelo.

I find it's important to compartmentalize all aspects of the shoot. Things go wrong: Locations aren't available on time, the weather directs itself, and there may be conflicts with crew members. However, the most important thing is to separate all stress from the model. No matter how the day goes, keeping the model in a protective bubble, so to speak, will keep him or her able to stay focused on modeling. If stress from other aspects of the shoot boil over to the model, it could affect the final images.

Maintain Respectful and Professional Conduct: Foster a professional and respectful environment throughout the photoshoot by prioritizing the models' comfort, safety, and dignity. Respect personal boundaries and cultural sensitivities, and avoid making inappropriate or offensive comments. Maintain professionalism in both your language and demeanor, treating models with the same level of professionalism and courtesy you would expect in return. By creating a safe and respectful space, models are more likely to feel empowered and comfortable expressing themselves creatively.

Mantener coneccion en el dialogo, alagando expresiones del modelo, ayuda también a que el modelo comprenda y se sienta positivo sobre lo que se quiera lograr.

This should be a given but when you like what you see a simple "Yes! That looks great!" goes a very long way. Season to taste depending on your personality. "That's fierce!" "Yassss!" "Get it!" "Dope!"

Lendo este tópico, lembrei de um ensaio que fiz com uma modelo muito tímida. Passei pelo menos uns 30 minutos conversando com ela antes de começar a dar qualquer direção para as poses. Com paciência, comecei a direcionar, mostrando as poses e a ideia que transmitiam. No entanto, ela ainda estava muito retraída. Então, lembrei de que ela disse que gostava de dançar. Comecei a mostrar cada pose com movimentos, para que se sentisse mais confortável em fazê-las. Clicava bem no meio do movimento, pegando o momento exato de cada pose estática. O ensaio ficou perfeito. A mãe dela me agradeceu demais, pois nunca tinha conseguido fotos em que não parecesse desconfortável. Naquele dia, ela parecia leve, sorridente e cheia de personalidade.

El proceso creativo a veces puede ser arduo y llevar horas, el ser paciente es importante, como lo es el brindarse espacios de reflexión y descanso, o en tal caso si no se está logrando una buena devolución, comprender que quizás sea conveniente trasladar la sesión para otro día, así lograr los resultados positivos tan deseados.

This isn't heart surgery. Let moments in interactions breathe. As long as you're watching and your finger is on the shutter you'll get it!

"Yeah we can do that!" Encourage ideas from others in the room and when something happens that isn't expected keep a cool head and just roll with it!

Offer Praise and Encouragement: Take moments during the shoot to praise models for their efforts, achievements, and contributions. Genuine compliments and words of encouragement can help boost morale, instill confidence, and motivate models to give their best performance. Recognize and celebrate their unique qualities and talents, affirming their value as collaborators in the creative process. By fostering a supportive and uplifting atmosphere, you can inspire models to unleash their creativity and deliver exceptional results during the photoshoot.

please put your left hand on your . No, your other left-hand. 31 years shooting Photographfee, and this still happens and all of it.

Communication is the key in every aspect of professional work. Like any, professional models do come with experiences ranging from fresher to amateur to highly skilled. Rapport building is one of the key element to communicate, giving them the comfort to settle IN, understand the concept of the shoot, purpose and required outcome. With this in place, there will be positive aura around to complete the task in designated time and in quality standards.

Presta atención a las necesidades y comodidad de las modelos en todo momento. Asegúrate de que estén cómodas con la ropa que están usando y con las condiciones del entorno de la sesión (temperatura, iluminación, etc.). Si una modelo parece incómoda o insegura, tómate un momento para abordar sus preocupaciones y ajustar la situación según sea necesario.

Se muy amable y considerado, sonríe a todas las personas. Somos profesionales y vamos a hacer las cosas bien. La sonrisa sirve para romper el hielo y rebajar la tensión. La sesión será mucho más ágil y productiva con una sonrisa. Ten en cuenta que los modelos son personas y les guasta que les traten como tal. Aprende sus nombres para llamarles, nos encanta que nos llamen por nuestro nombre.

The easiest way to effectively communicate with models is by breaking the silence barrier. By making the model feel relaxed makes the model to open up as the "awkwardness" is not there . This makes them bring out their best. Also directing them and giving feedback helps them as they don't have to worry if they are doing good or not

Después de la sesión, sigue comunicándote con la modelo para brindar retroalimentación adicional, compartir las imágenes finales y expresar tu aprecio por su trabajo. Mantén una relación profesional y amistosa a largo plazo con la modelo, cultivando una conexión que pueda beneficiar a ambas partes en futuras colaboraciones.
