A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I’m a hobby photographer, no where near professional. I enjoy the challenge of dialling into my camera to capture what I think is interesting. I mostly like wildlife photography for this reason. My friend has asked me to shoot her as she wants to get into modelling and also build content for social media. I’ve never tried this before which I have told her but I’m open to do it. Just wondering if there are any tips when working with a model? I can look up poses and stuff on google but it’s more the interaction between us I’m worried about so any tips in that regard are greatly appreciated!

Just wondering if there are any tips when working with a model?

Don't act like a creep and don't touch the model.

If they bring a friend or escort, don't get weird about it. If they feel like they need someone with them, it's going to make them more comfortable. They don't need to be in the same room as you and the model, but if they aren't disrupting anything, it's usually not a big deal.

Hash out before you take any pictures what you both want out of the session, and what each person can do with the pictures afterward.
