5 DO'S and DON'TS when PHOTOGRAPHING models!

45 173



In this video, My wife and I talk about some of the Do’s and Don’ts when photographing and working with models. I try to give as many examples as I can using footage from my previous photo shoots. What makes this a unique video in my opinion is that you get to hear these pointers from the model and photographer!

    Who touches any woman?!! :DDDDD Only wife can say such thing! Of course touching is involved! 😀 and flirting is involved and real magic happen in models eyes when photographer know how to spark her up, how to make her feel desirable. This is when her eyes lights up! No touching? !! Why would anyone spend thousands and waste hundreds of hours if not for touching and flirting :DDDD

    i love yall mashallah

  37. rovaun clark says

    You two are so cool. Lady O you should have your own channel. You're extremely supportive of Manny which is great, plus you guys on the screen are magic but I think people would like to know more about you. For instance, how do you juggle being a wife, mother and Manny's model with everything else you must have going on.

  38. Bernard Galewski says

    Next video topic: How we’ve met. Or, The photog & model story. Would be great to get to know you guys from that side. Thanks for all the videos so far.

  42. Hussein Marey says

    So you are basically telling us to treat the models like human beings …

  43. Hummner says

    I'm a beginner photograph und this video helped me a lot!! Thanks! <3

  44. Foto des Tages says

    Amen to all of those tips! A few other things that I find helpful are to be interested in them and chat with them, listen to them when they tell you stuff about themselves or what they like about themselves or photography in general. Make sure that you have something to drink and some snacks to offer them, take some breaks between series of photos, bring some basic accessories (hairbands, mirror, transparent powder, etc.). Yeah, and afterwards, don't make them wait forever for the pictures, at least send them a preview as soon as possible.

    Luckily I saw this fantastic really informative video before I treat my models as utensils. Thank you!
