Those are some great images, but I would have liked to hear more about your thought process behind it, like how you decide which poses and angles you use and which settings you use for what purpose.
Two questions: How did you get in touch with the model or models und general? Do you text them or do they text you? For this photo shoot, how much of the poses where directed by you and how much did he come up with?
I know a lot of people so a lot of times I know the models and then I just get in touch with them. Or I send them a text or they send one to me. Around 50/50 I told him some poses and he did some by himself. Hope you liked the video
I was trained by a master portrait photographer who made me aware that the faces of most non-models are asymmetrical in various ways: shape if face, size and position of ears, one eye larger or angled differently, etc. The reason faces are selected as models are because they are slender and perfectly symmetrical in a full face view and will look identical in right/left oblique and profile views also. What he trained me to do when first conversing with a subject is to first look at them full face to determine if their face is symmetrical and then from both sides obliquely and in profile. If the face is not symmetrical looking at both oblique views will reveal which is the most flattering because of the way an oblique view tricks the brain into thinking the face is more symmetrical. Once the most flattering way to turn the face to the camera is determined the fact that the eye is attracted to contrast guided the choice of lighting strategy. In an oblique or profile view on a dark background putting the broad side of the face in shadow will draw and hold the viewer’s attention to the highlight front of the face turned so the ‘key’ light is 45° from the far side of the nose and 90” from the camera axis in oblique view and 45° from nose and 135° from camera axis in the profile view. It sounds very ‘rule’ based, but it is what has produced most flatter view of face in artwork since ancient times and were the strategies used by old master painters. When photographing a face on a white background the contrast dynamic and lighting strategy flips. On white you still want to use the most flattering camera angle, but use a lighting strategy which makes the sides of the face darker in tone than the sides. This is where the use of reflectors or flashes on each side in addition to the key lighting the front ‘mask’ of the face is an effective strategy. If you have a great looking model with a symmetrical face it’s hard to take a photo that isn’t flattering. The bigger challenge is making a person with a lopsided face and upturned nose look like a model in a photo 😊 photo.nova.org/Mirror/

After 10 seconds into the video, I thought the man had a strong German accent. I went to the channel and saw, hey man, he is German Respect for making your videos in English. Würde ich mich mit meiner rostigen Aussprache nicht trauen :) Daumen hoch und Abo da :)
Hey danke 😂. Ja es hat mich auch lange abgehalten aber irgendwann dachte ich mir wenn ich jetzt einfach auf englisch mache muss zwangsläufig mein Englisch sich auch verbessern. Darum einfach gemacht bis jetzt hat sich keiner beschwert 🙏🏿
@@Julienazamosa dein englisch ist auch sehr gut kann man gar nicht meckern :) man hört zwar das du einen deutschen Akzent hast aber das ist auch schon alles :)
