In this segment I am featuring models I am working with. I am thrilled about the opportunity at hand that allows me to share those views with you!
Brenda Kucerova, an internationally working, dedicated Fashion, Glam & Art Nude Model will reveal how she ticks, her tips, insights, personal stories and what she expects from us photographers in order to develop good collaborations.
Career experience, real world talk and an authentic Brenda – far apart from self-presentation, industry glam and glitzy facades.
A few selected questions we will talk about amongst many others:
- What drove you to get started in modeling? Money? Prestige? Travel? Pure adrenaline kicks?
- Were you nervous before your first shoot and if yes, how did you overcome it?
- What piece of advice would you give aspiring photographers on how to work with models?
- Let’s assume a newcomer photographer wants to shoot with you in order to build his portfolio: What qualification does he or she need to persuade you to accept the job?
- On a pro level: What do you look for in a photographer before shooting with him/her?
- If a photographer is not communicating at all during the shoot: How do you keep yourself motivated? What are you thinking?
- What should a photographer do to be prepared in the right way for a smooth shooting with you? In other words: What organizational info do you need to feel that the shoot will go fine?

Fred Prose
You’re welcome, Fred. And great to hear you worked with Brenda.
Post a few images here :-)) Just attach them to a comment.
Best,
Dan
Several great shots over the years.

and her darker side 😉

Thanks for sharing the series, Fred. Excellent!
In my opinion for every shooting the facial expression is the key success factor (by the way for nude shooting as well). And concerning this issue Brenda is perfect. For me she is a mixture of Sandra Bullock and Stana Katic. I’m looking forward to the results of your shooting as well.
Hi Cornel, thank you!
Stana Katic: Interesting. I must admit I never heard of her before. But here we go for all of us with some impressions:

As mentioned just a minute ago above, photo shoot with Brenda is already done. But need to find time for post processing – and more importantly – to build an article case with value 🙂
Stay tuned!
Best,

Thanks for the Brenda K interview, Dan! You prepared very well and asked many relevant questions. Her charm and honesty came through very well and I was very impressed.
I now regret not attending a workshop with Supershoots a few years ago where she was one of the attending models 🙁
I got the impression that she is focused on more creative shoots and true collaboration with a full team – photographer, model, clothing designer, hair stylist, MUA etc. This is in contrast to just doing nude or glamour shoots. Interesting!
Thanks again to you both.
Thank you, Paul.
Yes, Brenda has always have these shoots where more crew members are involved. She like it very much and it’s true that bigger creative ideas can be achieved. I guess it’s natural that she now strives towards these kind of settings and collaborations for her own projects.
Let’s see what she will come up in future.
A very nice job of capturing the beauty, charm and insight that make Brenda such a great model.
Thank you, Jim!
Thanks for this interview with Brenda! She is not only an incredible model but an outstanding person. I had the privilege to work with her and it was an unforgettable experience!
You’re welcome, Ron.
Great you had the opportunity top work with her! Please post an image here ;-)))
Thank you!
Dan
Brenda…
Beautiful paperweight..
Brenda reflecting…
She is magnificent…
Thanks for sharing the series, Ron. Excellent!
Brenda has a real American look.
She reminds me of Sandra Bullock.
