Photo Shoots: Be A Professional (Or At Least Act Like One)

By this point in the book, you’ve learned quite a bit about the equipment, technique, and preparation that goes into making a shoot successful. Most likely, you’ll soon have a model knocking on your door who is ready and willing to be your personal muse.

This particular model may be experienced and calm or inexperienced and nervous. However, whatever mood she’s in when she arrives, it’s your job to put her in a state of mind where she can feel comfortable, safe, and confident.

The most important thing you can do when a model arrives for a shoot is to set a professional tone from the very beginning. That doesn’t mean you have to be unnecessarily serious or detached; it simply means that you should provide her with a professional environment.

About the photographer “Michael Charles”

I´m a photographer based in Los Angeles and I’ve been shooting professionally for over 20 years. Though I began my career in fashion photography, I quickly realized that I had almost zero interest in women’s clothing. However, I still loved photography and I still loved photographing models.

After a bit of thought, I found a photographic niche that allowed me to keep the models while eliminating the clothing part of things almost entirely. That niche turned out to be glamour, nude, and erotic photography.

And I’m happy to say that the change worked out well.

I’ve worked exclusively in the fields of glamour and nude photography for well over a decade.

Over that time, my images have been published in hundreds of national and international publications.

In addition to my passion for photography, I also enjoy sharing with fellow photographers the knowledge I’ve accumulated over my long career. I’m able to do this through the blog you’re reading now, as well as through my recently completed eBook, SKIN: The Complete Guide to Glamour and Nude Photography.
