As glamour and nude model photographers, we make a lot of decisions before our shoots, during our shoots, and after our shoots. Those decisions all impact how we're going to capture the beautiful, sensuous, models in front of our cameras and what the final 'look' of those images will be. Jimmy D, the PrettyGirlShooter and industry veteran, talks insights.

Hi Jimmy!,
Question, Say a model contacted you through a website such as MM, and she wants to shoot with you,. The model will be town on a such and such day, how will you enact these strategies & tactics?…or would you ignore the model until it’s on your terms to prepare? Because I keep seeing this stuff on websites.
Hey Roy! Well, assuming I want to shoot the model, I’ll try my best to make it work. My article doesn’t mean to infer that a great deal of planning is required for all shoots. Sure, some shoots benefit from plenty of planning, others less, but there are those that need to be fairly spontaneous. There was a TV show about clothing designers and the host, Tim Gunn, was fond of telling designers to simply “Make it work.” I guess that’s what I’m saying. Make it work. Even if you sometimes have to wing it more than you’d like. BTW, the more of those tactics you have in your bag of tricks, the easier it is to “wing it” and still get good, if not great, results. Keep learning and practicing and you’ll know how to make it work even when you might sometimes first think otherwise.
