No matter how exciting it may appear to be a model there is a certain amount of tedium that works its way in while waiting your turn in makeup, hairdressing or wardrobe.
The photographer and model collaborate on poses to capture the mood and essence of the scene. A series of shots are taken from various positions around the set along with the varying facial expressions and poses of the models. When the photographer feels that they have captured the shots they need the shoot is called a wrap and the models are free to go while the photographers breaks down the set up.
The photographer’s work is not complete yet, there is post production required to find and manipulate the photo that is desired. Depending on the shoot the amount of photos may extend into the hundreds. So, the next time you see a photo in a magazine that appeals to you think of the time and effort that may have gone into it by both the model and photographer.
