Controlling the model from a mild basis for a safe feeling
This month I would like to take you on a tour again deepening my work and experiences as a photographer,
At the same time, it is my personal development that I share with you.
By thinking about the (individual) topics and asking myself questions that allow me to uncover the deeper layers,
I will tell you what is involved in working as a portrait photographer and how I will continue to grow myself.
I use questions like:
What is involved?
How do I proceed?
Why do I do it that way?
What can I learn more about and How?
Who will help me with this?
The topic I want to discuss with you this month is...
directing the model and the person portrayed
.
By means of
close to myself
at
to stay
and to give my model space and invite her to do the same,
one arises
link
between me and the model.
This connection will last for a while during the photo shoot
mutual trust
to take care,
a mild base for a safe feeling.
When I stay close to myself, I work from peace, relaxation, softness, positivity and always from love...
I take discomfort into account, everyone has their discomforts and insecurities.
And there may be, so feel free to express them and I will do my best to reassure you.
During or after the photo shoot I will show some of the images.
This is one of the ways to reassure you.
Communication
I try to keep it as clear and simple as possible.
I communicate
verbal (with words) and non-verbal (through movements, I show what I mean)
.
People sometimes laugh about it, because I mirror the movement I ask of you,
especially when I notice that words are not enough.
Laugh together
during the photo shoot I like it, so if you laugh at my nonsense,
then I'll laugh along with you!
I am convinced that those crazinesses or idiosyncrasies make me my unique self,
just like your craziness or idiosyncrasies are completely you
your unique self
to make.
They may be there!
You can be there!
I help you through the combination of verbal and non-verbal communication
pose
,
I direct you, so to speak.
That requires me as a photographer to take the lead.
It requires you as a model to trust me to let you lead.
What I like best is when the photos I take have a...
natural posture
radiate,
Like this
pure
if I can get you in front of my camera.
By pure I mean, without laughter.
After all, no one smiles all day long
It may seem that way to the outside world, but it is not reality.
By observing many people, for example while shopping or visiting a terrace,
I see the many faces. A tense face is very different from a relaxed face.
Someone in a hurry has a different face than someone who is relaxing and enjoying the surroundings.
How does your face look when you are relaxed?
In all your gentleness...
That's what I want to catch when I get one
picturesque portrait
make you...
that pure relaxed and soft look.
Maybe with a twinkle in your eye if it belongs to you.
Man you are beautiful...
