I'm going to do my first photoshooting

>>3068023
I really can't add much cause I've never shot models, but I would say give it a shot, be genuine, directive and try a few times.
It probably wont be what you want the first couple of time but keep going at it

I will anon. However, I don't want to waste her time by delivering shitty pics or not being able to direct correctly.
It's more like, I don't want to sound like a guy who has no idea what is doing.

so know what you're doing, take a look at 7 or 8 pictures you like, figure out the lighting, and get those shots. save them to your phone to show her what you're going for, and do that for the first 1/3rd or half of the shoot so you know you have some solid shots, then try do whatever she wants and whatever you think might be cool, it will be a lot easier to wing stuff half way through once everyone is a bit more comfortable. Also, being a "natural light photographer" is going to severely limit you, so stop that ASAP

And it reads to most as I'm too poor to afford lights and/or to dumb to use lights"

>i only work with natural light

holy shit this meme is the dumbest fucking thing ever.

You're basically saying I deliberately make my photos worse to fit into some dumb pseudo niche that entirely consists of limiting the kind of photo you can take which is fucking asinine when the entire purpose of photography is getting the shot, not getting hung up on "hurr durr flashes aren't natural enough".

light is fucking light, fucks sake.

its like marathon runner saying they don't wear shoes or some shit because its not natural.
enjoy youre fucked up feet retard

I'm a makeup artist; if you don't have an idea of what kind of "style" a shoot you're going to be doing ask them to either do a natural everyday makeup or ask them to bring out their favorite feature of their face- ie darker eye shadow for eyes, bright blush/highlight/contour for cheeks, or a bright lipstick for lips.

You definitely want to give some direction to get things going and it's also important to compliment your model throughout the shoot because it makes them feel more confident.

understanding and manipulating light, the very thing that photographs document makes me look professional. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

>>3068151

photography is 90% about manipulating light

Want to get popular on youtube?

Start a series on youtube that teaches us retarded photographers MUA's jargon. We don't need to know how to do shit, just how to refer to looks and the like.
