Standard Kimberley look-- she should consider refreshing it. Gets boring after a while.

Kimberley said:Ok will try something different the next round! =) what do u suggest ?
waileong said:You have to think about that. We all have our comfort zones, as you know. One of the comfort zone things models do is fall into the same expression, same smile, same pose for almost every shot simply because it worked in the past.
You have a lot of shots on CS, so if you compare them, you can see the similiarities.
For growth and development, it is important to change continually. New look, new expression, new attitude, new lighting, new angles... keep stretching the envelope.
Variety is important, for a commercial model it will show clients what you are capable of; for a freelance model, it will allow you to grow and develop.
Think themes. For instance, a jungle theme would have you covered in mud-- there's a very famous picture of a model who got all covered in mud for a pre-historic tribal woman theme. Obviously, you'd have to learn new expressions and poses to go with such a theme-- can't be smiling sweetly like a school girl any more.
Think themes! Sex kitten? Shy schoolgirl? Corporate climber? Adventurer? Amazon warrior?
For each of these, you'd have to think about hair, makeup, props, sets, location, poses and expressions. For the photographer, they'd have to think about angles, lighting, focal lengths, etc.
