Publisher's Synopsis
In theory, photographing models should be easy: professional models look good in front of a camera and they know how to pose, right? How hard can it be? But when you're a photographer who's never taken that leap, and you don't know the first thing about shooting professional talent and everything that entails, it quickly becomes a daunting task. How do you find the right model? Where do you shoot? What do the backgrounds need to look like? What should the model be wearing? How do you coach the model to give you the perfect expression that you need to make your picture sing? What's the best way to light this person? How do I retouch this image? 'Mastering the Model Shoot' is not only about making someone look good in front of your camera; it's about controlling every aspect of the image so the photographer's vision becomes a reality.
