Since digital cameras have become commonplace many people are starting a hobby in photography. Anyone can shoot a model, but photographing her well takes practice and know how. All models want to look their best, whether they are a professional or one of the family. Learn tips for making a model look glamorous with these instructions.
Instructions
1. Set up the studio. Use a simple background that won't distract from the subject.
2. Place the lighting for the shoot, including a fill light and key light. Tungsten lights work well. Place lights at 45 degrees from the model and 45 degrees above. Take some test shots and adjust as desired. Take the lights in closer for a softer look and pull them further away for more shadows.
3. Use a hair light that is set above the model. This will give the hair extra shine.
4. Make the model comfortable. This makes the photography session more enjoyable for everyone. Give posing directions to help give the model a glamorous look in the photos. Instructing the model to bring the chin down a little can produce a sexy result.
5. Place a small fan in front of the model. Be aware that this can be drying to contact lenses, so be sure the model removes contact lenses, if necessary. Turn the fan on low to give a glamorous, free-flowing hair look. Take a few test shots and adjust the fan if needed.
