Posing practice for men models - Monomad Challenge.
Today I want to share a set of photographs that I took with the male models from the modeling agency I'm working with. These photos came about on a class day where we were practicing different poses and different planes for the photos. Although it was just practice, we liked the photos so much that I ended up editing them to share with you.
The idea was to confront them with the part of themselves they liked least and take them out of their comfort zone. Several said they felt a bit uncomfortable with close-up photos (of the face), so that's what we did first. I took several photos of each person and we tried slight movements of the face until we found the angle that best suited each one.
Hoy les quiero compartir un set de fotografias que hice con los modelos hombres de la agencia de modelos con la que estoy trabajando, estas fotos surgieron en un dia de clase en la que estabamos practicando diferentes poses y diferentes planos para las fotos, aunque solo fue una practica nos gustaron tanto las fotos que las terminé editando para compartirla con ustedes.
La idea era enfrentarlos con la parte de ellos que menos les gustaba y sacarlos de su zona de confort, varios dijeron que se sentian un poco incomodos con las fotos de plano cercano (al rostro) asi que eso fue lo primero que hicimos, hice varias fotos por cada persona y fuimos probando ligeros movimientos del rostro hasta que encontrábamos el angulo que mas le favorecia a cada uno.
The idea was to "discover" their best angle so that they would have more confidence in future photo sessions.
La idea era "descubrir" su mejor angulo para que asi tuvieran mas confianza en futuras sesiones de fotos.
Then we practiced a couple of poses. The objective of this class was for the models to learn at least a couple of poses so that they could access them naturally when they are in future photo sessions and not be left thinking "and now what do I do?" since in a paid photo session they must perform in the most professional and natural way possible.
Luego practicamos un par de poses, el objetivo de esta clase fue que los modelos se aprendieran al menos un par de poses para que pudieran acceder a ellas de manera natural cuando estén en futuras sesiones de fotos y no se quedaran pensando " y ahora que hago" ya que en una sesion de fotos paga ellos deben desenvolverse de la manera mas profesional y natural posible.
That day while they were exploring the poses, I took several photos of them and showed them so they could see themselves and thus they themselves could choose the ones they liked the most.
Obviously, I took many photos that day and the ones I am showing you were the ones I liked the most.
Ese dia mientras ellos exploraban las poses yo les tomaba varias fotos y se las iba mostrando para que pudieran verse y asi ellos mismos poder escoger las que mas le gustaban.
Obviamente tomé muchísimas fotos ese dia y las que les estoy mostrando fueron las que a mi mas me gustaron.
It seemed to me that it was a good class because I was able to leave something positive for the models that I know will help them a lot in their future photo sessions.
I hope you liked the photos as much as I did and thanks for all the support
A mi me pareció que fue una buena clase porque pude dejarle algo positivo a los modelos que sé que les servira mucho en sus futuras sesiones de fotos.
Espero que a ustedes les hayan gustado las fotos tanto como a mi y gracias por todo el apoyo!
