How To Sell Photos By Following These Tips When You Photograph Models!
Learning how to sell photos in the fashion world is daunting. However, model jobs can be obtained by word of mouth. This is good, if you’ve done impressive work on a model’s portfolio. Models are outgoing and bubbly. They have lots of friends who are also aspiring models. So, if you’ve done a great job, their friends will get to know your name – and you are on the way! Here’s some advice to help you get the best from your model shoots.
To start with we will deal with the posture of the models themselves. They should have their arms slightly out from their sides or doing something. Arms just at their sides will cause them to lose their shape, or even to look fat. Do not forget that they do not need to look natural. You are trying to create art. Be creative; look for ways to express movement within the photo.
“Where should I look?” is a common question, and the best answer is always a fast one that shows you have a plan and know how to sell photos. Basically you want to pick locations within the room that they should look at, as some people look better from different angles and you will only discover this by experimenting.
When working to a budget, reflectors are key, as they save you having to use a second light. Its job is to bounce light back on the model, so it should be placed opposite your main light to fill in the shadows. If you don’t have an assistant to hold the reflector, you can buy affordable custom-built holders that you can manipulate until the bounced light is just where you require it.
With most portrait shots, the rule is to shoot in Portrait mode. However, if you are shooting your model in profile, it pays to switch to Landscape. The reason is that, as they are facing the edge of the frame, Portrait mode can make them look boxed-in. In Landscape mode, you can place the subject to one side of the frame, leaving space in the photo for them to look into.
To get the most flattering shots, using a focal range between 100mm to 135mm works best. This takes advantage of what we call ‘lens compression’. It’s difficult to explain the difference in words. However, try taking the same portrait shot with a 50mm fixed lens, and the second with a zoom lens at 135mm and you’ll see what I mean. In the end, learning how to sell photos is one thing – making sure the model looks fantastic is something else entirely.
