With the final week of work with "Jipaban": A Online Shopping Boutique based in Singapore, I finally got a chance to have my own go at editing the photos I took for their recent "fashion shoot".
Basically, it was for a new line of clothes called "Smitten" which follows after this cuts-y look.
MAIN TAKEAWAY:
MODELS ARE PAID FOR A REASON!
Comparing the Blog shop photos taken for friends with their friends as models it was a WHOLE other story with "Professional" Model. Of course, there was no budget for runway strutting models so we had to settle for two models who had quite some experience modeling for blogshops and others.
However, the difference was set apart immediately.
1. They have no problem posing
Considering that they are paid to, its only expected for them.
Difference comes from how they have no qualms or worries on how they are needed to pose.
2. They know their weakness
Lets face it, everyone has some part which always looks bigger on camera.
(Unless you are speaking about me then, its just me and not the camera)
They know it, and they hide it.
3. Professionalism
Just like how friends would comment that a photographers job is "Easy" without doing your Job.
Models do get tired posing too. There are reasons why they are paid doing what they do, because they can do what they do well. Just like photographers, we are paid because we can do what others can't do with the same camera. Experience counts.
Overall, this was quite an enriching opportunity.
I had quite a good time photographing the models however still have much to learn over direction.
Looking into how posing can help bring out the appeal of the clothes.
Still wondering if the shots are worthy of portfolio.
Regardlessly, thanks for reading and do leave a comment :)
Cheers
