And thus absolutely helpful in their own art work.
Frank Doorhof makes it clear that the photo should not only occur when pressing the shutter button, but previously, namely when reflecting on the screen layout, the attitude / the expression of the model or the mood of a scene. What story should tell the picture? What should it reach the viewer?
Frank leads us step by step through a model shoot and has the diverse points out that should be considered, if we want to have a satisfactory result. How to avoid it, and his team (consisting of a photographer, assistant, make-up artist...) To sit in an expensive rented Location on dry land because the booked model does not appear. What can be done, that the model comes out and shines in the desired role by photographer / pose.
It is a pity that almost seem like no photos with male models. They have the image-impression made more diverse and varied.
Well, but that is each image shown pleasing and shows that the author makes himself thought and effort (and not only preaches and demands of us).
At the end of the book Frank goes into social networks, whose use he recommends to the professionals in order to attract customers and to keep talking.
He also called the software products, with whom he reworked.
Conclusion: For photo-novice like me is 'Mastering the Model Shoot' a 100% buy recommendation. And also be able to use advanced this tip and that suggestion well.
PS had bought the Kindle edition me due to the significantly lower price. The pictures were on my little black and white display but just not good enough viewable, so I've been buying reversed and ordered the large-format paperback edition. The is then also considerable hands down.
