opportunities & choices 55Looks and facial features
hair color, skin tone, face shape—it’s really a matter of personal taste, but some
images suit certain looks more than others. for example, square faces aren’t ideal
for romantic images, while dark, brooding looks often work well for cinematic shots.Personality
for me, personality really matters.
outgoing, communicative models
make photo shoots so much easier,
even for more intimate images. often,
though not always, i will try to put the
model’s character across. Models
who can be themselves are not only
a joy to work with, but the viewer can
feel their personalities through the
image and really make a connection.Body shape
depending on the type of image you want to create you might go for a long,
slender model, or someone who is more rounded. classic agency models are
mostly of the tall and slim type for women, and muscular and athletic for men.
