Model Portfolio Photography Tips

This is a real life shooting session of a model's portfolio. The photographer explains what he wants from the model. He is constantly moving around the studio to find the best angle. He suggested to put a reflector to soften strong shadows from sun light. One side of model's face is dark, so he wants to use a reflector. However, harsh lighting emphasizes the model's shape which cannot be achieved by soft light.

A model should be and look relaxed because the message she needs to convey is how she is enjoying the clothes she is wearing.

If a photographer asks the model to do something, like straightening her hair, she should do it in slow motion.
