    Often I use the environment as a backdrop for my close up portraits.For example, I will use the side of an old truck for the color and texture. Just have a little distance between the model and the background and shoot wide open. This makes a beautiful portrait and brings in the over all mood of the location.

    Hey, some great tips on thus video, but one little thing stood out to me. When you mentioned finding a black car in your environment and getting your model to lean on it, I'm sure you got permission from the owner, but I think you should have mentioned that. It's very important and something a lot of photographers don't think of!

    • @EliInfante
      @EliInfante  4 роки тому +1

      Great point! The location for the car was in front of a tire shop. We have met the owner multiple times when we shoot there. He is always nice enough to allow us to shoot at his shop.

    One tip is to hire an actual working model and have them teach you some about posing. The usual wannabe models don’t have much to offer you and need a lot of direction.

  • @DrL33productions
    @DrL33productions 4 роки тому

    If you are working with clients that aren't models, this is when learning to pose people comes in handy. Stop working with people that calls themselves models and don't know how to freaking pose... A model should know how to pose just like a photographer should know how to use his/her gears. Try working with real models and you won't have this issue, avoid models wannabe. unless you are willing to deal with all that crap.

    • @EliInfante
      @EliInfante  4 роки тому

      Dr_L33 Tv Thanks for the comment! I work with clients all the time. I photograph all the sports teams at my school from 7th -12th grade. The most difficult people to pose are the middle school students. In addition to that I photograph faculty who DON’T want to be photographed all school year hahaha. Trust me if you actually knew me you would know that I don’t only work with models. If you have any concerns feel free to email me and I can show you my client work. 😁

    • @DrL33productions
      @DrL33productions 4 роки тому

      I wasn’t directing that to you specifically but more towards the general audience. Like I mentioned, you only really need to learn to pose if you are dealing with regular clients that aren’t models. But your demonstration pointed more towards models. And most new photographers and models wanna be have this notion that photographers are responsible for posing models. No we are not. A model should know how to pose and the photographer should only make small adjustments. In the real world that is. But then again this is UA-cam were %90 of the info on here are fake or people tryna up their view counts without doing in depth research. Either way, carry on sir you are doing an amazing job!

  • @IanJackson33
    @IanJackson33 4 роки тому

    maybe you should try not posing once in awhile. But instead try a lil bit of natural poses meaning: take pictures of the model in the calm state, when there drinking a beverage or fixing there hair, reading a book or even laughing. just a thought.
